Lifesaving and Emergency Surgical Procedures in Trauma Patients
No full textDamage control surgery represents a salvage procedure for trauma patients with the life-threatening triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. Although nonoperative management has become the norm for many solid visceral injuries and some vascular injuries, surgical therapy for penetrating and blunt abdominal trauma remains an essential part of the overall management. The early management of trauma patients depends on the presence (or absence) of significant bleeding. Hemodynamically stable patients can undergo standard definitive surgical procedures, but patients in hemorrhagic shock should be treated according to damage control resuscitation principles, which can provide early hemorrhage control. We have attempted in this chapter to describe some essential lifesaving surgical procedures that can be used to gain access to the airway and control hemorrhage within the thoracic and abdominal cavities as well as the retroperitoneum and pelvis

Hemostatic resuscitation for acute traumatic coagulopathy
No full textAbstract Trauma resuscitation paradigms have changed considerably over the last twenty years. Originally, the goal was to normalize a blood pressure as quickly as possible. Large volume crystalloid resuscitation was used to accomplish this. Standard therapy was that any patient with suspected bleeding received a two liter crystalloid bolus as initial therapy. It was often repeated and blood transfusion therapy was used relatively late. Fresh frozen plasma and platelets were also used relatively late, often after patients had received ten units of red cells. Dilutional anemia was relatively common. Patients with large volume blood loss often died from what was termed, "the bloody vicious cycle," of hypothermia, acidosis and coagulopathy.</p
The Shock Trauma Manual of Operative Techniques
No full textThis book acts as a portable and easy-to-understand reference for surgical trainees or young faculty members that are interested in reviewing procedures on the way to the operating room. This second edition aims to provide a practical hands-on approach to operative trauma management. Following the success of the first edition, chapters were revised, updated, and added due to substantial changes in trauma care over the past few years. Several new experts contributed their knowledge and techniques inside this new edition. For example, chapters on fasciotomy and resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) have been added. The second edition of The Shock Trauma Manual of Operative Techniques is a valuable reference for practicing surgeons in the community and serves to aid trauma practitioners as they attempt to deal with operative challenge
