Métrailler-Mermoud J, et al. - Researchers retrospectively analyzed 66 avalanche victims with cardiac arrest (CA) from a single physician-staffed alpine helicopter emergency medical service in order to delineate and analyze their medical management and clinical course, focusing on adherence to international recommendations on avalanche victims in CA regarding critical decisions. Observations revealed that current guidelines were followed in the management of avalanche victims in CA when critical decisions were taken. However, there was no patient in this sample who had survived. They identified a few cases with incorrect management and potential undertreatment, suggesting some room for improvement.
