Different things have to be taken into account in a trauma victim then a CHF patient. You still analyze theit heart rhythm and defibrillate/start compressions but if they are actively bleeding you don't do it as long, esspecially not if they aren't showing signs of improvement.

I've heard several horror stories but, thankfully,  I've never had to do CPR on someone with penetrating trauma.
