This study is looking at information from past patients who experienced a traumatic cardiac arrest (when the heart stops beating due to an injury). Researchers will gather details like demographics, types of injuries, medical procedures, and outcomes from a trauma registry. The goal is to create a database to understand how pre-hospital care (like intubation or medications given before arriving at the hospital) affects survival for these patients. This is an observational study, meaning researchers are just looking at existing data, not giving new treatments. You could be included if you are 18 years or older and were in the MDMC Trauma Registry with a cardiac arrest either before reaching the hospital or in the trauma bay. The study aims to collect data on 100 people over 5 years.
