JSOM Featured Abstract: Needle Decompression Complicated by Cardiac Injury in a Prehospital Environment Davis K, Oury JJ, Reed BL, Grabo DJ, Wilson A, Coleman C. 24(2). 78 - 80. (Journal Article) Abstract Needle decompression is a mainstay intervention for tension pneumothorax in trauma medicine. It is used in combat and prehospital medicine when definitive measures are often not available or ideal. It can temporarily relieve increased intrathoracic pressure and treat a collapsed lung or great vessel obstruction. However, when done incorrectly, it can result in underlying visceral organ and vessel trauma. This is a case of an adult male who presented to the emergency department after sustaining multiple stab wounds during an altercation. On arrival, the patient had a 14-gauge angiocatheter inserted at the 4th intercostal space (ICS), left of the parasternal line traversing the right ventricle and interventricular septum and terminating in the left ventricle. The case emphasizes the importance of understanding the landmarks of performing needle decompression in increasing the procedure's efficacy and reducing iatrogenic complications.

Frank Butler, retired Navy Captain, SEAL, and physician, wanted to change how casualties were cared for on the battlefield. Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) is arguably the most important innovation on the battlefield since Ambrose Pare tied off bleeders and Jonathan Letterman brought medicine to the battlefield. What TCCC is and how it became not just the system of care for battlefield casualties but evolved into the care of trauma victims in the prehospital arena and to the lay community via STOP THE BLEED, is the thesis of this book...

This weekend I attended a small party in support of my neighbor, Frank Butler, "Tell Them Yourself It's Not Your Day to Die" book launch published by the Journal of Special Operations Medicine (JSOM) published by Breakaway Media, LLC. This book was coauthored by Kevin O'Connor and Jeff Butler with forwards by Admiral William H. McRaven and Vice Admiral Richard H. Carmona. I recommend that each of you grab a copy. As a civilian, it could be easy to dismiss a topic of this nature however, the reality is pre-hospital trauma is a an experience we are not invincible from. Discussing this book with friends I relate these proven life saving tactics to a recent shark attack on our sandy beaches. The victim of this attack had tourniquets applied which gave her an opportunity to survive. As short as 15 years ago this level of pre-hospital trauma care would not have been applied. A life might have been lost. It's the Navy Corpsmen birthday! This book highlights the heroic medical care the Doc provides on the battlefield.
