    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Wir berichten von einem 26jährigen Dachdecker, der durch einen Sturz aus ca. 5 m Höhe ein stumpfes Thoraxtrauma mit Ruptur des linken Herzvorhofs erlitt. Erst nach zweistündiger Reanimationsdauer konnte bei dem be-reits am Unfallort drucklosen und komatösen Patienten (Glasgow Coma Scale 3 Punkte) ein marginaler Blutdruck erzielt werden. Unter dem Verdacht auf eine gedeckte Ruptur der Aorta ascendens wurde der bei Asystolie erneut reanimationspflichtige Patient in die nächstgelegene Kardiochirurgie verlegt und unter fortgesetzter Reanimation sofort an die Herz-Lungen-Maschine angeschlossen. Bei optimaler Exposition konnten die intrathorakalen Organe inspiziert, und die Vorhofruptur versorgt werden. Das Herz konnte effektiv entlastet, und durch Perfusion in tiefer Hypothermie eine Reduktion des Sauerstoffbedarfs aller Organe insbesondere des Gehirns erreicht werden. In Restitutio ad integrum wurde der Patient 18 Tage nach dem Unfall entlassen. Unsere Fallbeschreibung zeigt, daß ein Überleben mit Restitutio ad integrum nach stumpfem Thoraxtrauma und Verletzung des Herzens bei reanimationspflichtigen Patienten mit aussichtslos scheinender Prognose möglich ist. Wir empfehlen, kardiopulmonale Reanimationsmaßnahmen erst nach Anschluß eines Patienten an die Herz-Lungen-Maschine zu beenden, sollte auch so keine Stabilisierung der Hämodynamik möglich sein.
    Notes: Summary We report a case of a 26-year-old patient, a tilelayer by profession, with a history of a fall from a height of 5 meters with blunt thoracic injury and resultant left atrial rupture. The emergency doctor found at the site of accident a deeply comatose patient (Glasgow Coma Scale 3 points) with no recordable blood pressure. After two hours of resuscitation at the site of accident and at the closest emergency traumatology unit a marginal blood pressure was seen. With a suspicion of a closed ascending aortic rupture the patient was transferred to the nearest cardiothoracic surgical unit. During transfer, the patient had a cardiac standstill with asystole and was further reanimated and resuscitated. On arrival the patient was transferred to the operation theatre immediately and after femoro-femoral cannulation was supported by a heart-lung-machine circulation. Through an optimal exposition the internal thoracic organs were inspected in detail and the rupture of the left atrium was identified and treated. The heart was effectively emptied and with deep hypothermia with a reduction of oxygen consumption by all organs especially the brain was taken care of. The patient could be discharged from hospital on the 18th postoperative day in absolute good health. Our case report shows that survival is possible with good residual function with integrated long-term resuscitation after blunt thoracic trauma with resultant cardiac injury in a patient who had a grave prognosis declared. We recommend therefore prolonged cardiopulmonary reanimation with resuscitation till a patient is supported by extracorporeal circulation.
