Introduction: Despite the development of sophisticated modern trauma systems, trauma arrest upon damage is nevertheless typically irreversible and results in immediate mortality [1]. Approximately 60% of all deaths attributable to trauma are immediate deaths. +e total survival rate after traumatic arrest during the prehospital phase is as low as 3.7%, and even after performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), prior studies found very poor outcomes [2]. Therefore, the introduction of termination of resuscitation (TOR) guidelines for situations involving an acute traumatic arrest may help to prevent the needless use of expensive resources and unnecessary medical intervention. +e 2012 The American College of Surgeons’ Committee on Trauma and the National Association of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Physicians (NAEMSP-ASCOT) released a TOR guidelines for patients experiencing traumatic cardiac arrest are discussed in a collaborative position paper [3]. These TOR guidelines, however, cannot be used consistently in other nations since they take into account both the prehospital traumatic care system and the features of traumatic arrest. Our goals are to validate the objective protocol of early TOR guidelines for traumatic arrest patients under various scenarios and to identify the clinical parameters associated with death following traumatic arrest on the scene.
