I will just second everyone who has said dont beat yourself up. In my EMS system we never work a traumatic arrest. We are too far from the hospital. Additionally, medics in the city hesitate to work an arrest. I heard a great stat (I hate stats) the other day...."ONLY 1% of all trauma arrests would survive if they fell immediately onto the operating table with a full surgical team 100% ready to go." Traumatic arrests just dont survive. That person on the scene didn't need you (no offense please dont take that the wrong way)....they needed a trauma surgeon. Let it go...move forward...get help if you need it (no shame in that!)....try to save the next one. We all know that you cant save em all!! Be safe out there!
