Ridryder 911 Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 Not really, the contributing cause would be the trauma that caused the <LOC then autopsy report list cause of death as cardiac arrest. I agree, majority of medics with any hopes of keeping their license or jobs would call this patient. The only time I work any trauma (GSW, stabbing, MVC) is when they have a pulse or potentially have a + outcome. I have been known to call the medical director for a DNR on those with gross or obvious traumatic injuries not sustainable with life (brain exposure, gross trauma) and allow nature to take its course.
