Resuscitative Thoracotomy

Resuscitative Thoracotomy is a life-saving surgical procedure, classified as an emergency thoracic intervention, that involves the rapid incision into the chest cavity to directly access the heart and great vessels for the purpose of controlling hemorrhage, relieving cardiac tamponade, or facilitating internal cardiac massage in the setting of traumatic arrest.
