The prognosis when a patient undergoes traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is not good. Herein we reported a 36-year-old male who underwent traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest after a motorcycle collision. At the scene this patient recovered circulation after cardiopulmonary resuscitation by an emergency medical technician. Unfortunately cardiac arrest reoccurred in emergency department later. The echo analysis revealed pericardial effusion. Left atrium rupture was noted during thoracotomy and repairs were carried out. In addition to the cardiac arrest, this patient had an open fracture of the left femur, a comminuted fracture of the left patellar and a right hip fracture-dislocation. All these fractures were treated by surgical fixation. After 35 days of hospital admission the patient was discharged uneventfully without any neurological sequelae. On time treatment at scene and good hospital care are believed to have contributed to the good prognosis of this patient.
