Journal ArticleDOI
Immediate versus delayed fluid resuscitation for hypotensive patients with penetrating torso injuries.
William H Bickell,Matthew J. Wall,Paul E. Pepe,R. Russell Martin,Victoria F. Ginger,Mary K. Allen,Kenneth L. Mattox +6 more
TL;DR: The effects of delaying fluid resuscitation until the time of operative intervention in hypotensive patients with penetrating injuries to the torso were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abbreviated laparotomy and planned reoperation for critically injured patients.
Jon M. Burch,Victor B. Ortiz,Robert J. Richardson,R. Russell Martin,Kenneth L. Mattox,George L. Jordan +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that patients with hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy are at high risk for imminent death, and that prompt termination of laparotomy with the use of the above techniques is a rational approach to an apparently hopeless situation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immediate versus delayed fluid resuscitation for hypotensive patients with penetrating torso injuries
William H Bickell,Matthew J. Wall,Paul E. Pepe,R. Russell Martin,Victoria F. Ginger,Mary K. Allen,Kenneth L. Mattox +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of delaying fluid resuscitation until the time of operative intervention in hypotensive patients with penetrating injuries to the torso were investigated. But, the authors did not consider the effects on the patient's ability to control the bleeding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prehospital hypertonic saline/dextran infusion for post-traumatic hypotension. The U.S.A. Multicenter Trial.
Kenneth L. Mattox,Kenneth L. Mattox,Peter A. Maningas,Ernest E. Moore,James R Mateer,John A. Marx,Charles Aprahamian,Jon M. Burch,Paul E. Pepe +8 more
TL;DR: Although this trial demonstrated trends supportive of HSD in hypotensive hemorrhagic shock patients requiring surgery, a larger sample size will be required to establish which subgroups of trauma patients might maximally benefit from the prehospital use of a small volume of hyperosmolar solution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypotensive resuscitation strategy reduces transfusion requirements and severe postoperative coagulopathy in trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock: preliminary results of a randomized controlled trial.
C. Anne Morrison,Matthew M. Carrick,Michael A. Norman,Bradford G. Scott,Francis J. Welsh,Peter I. Tsai,Kathleen R. Liscum,Matthew J. Wall,Kenneth L. Mattox +8 more
TL;DR: Hypotensive resuscitation is a safe strategy for use in the trauma population and results in a significant reduction in blood product transfusions and overall IV fluid administration and significantly decreases postoperative coagulopathy and lowers the risk of early postoperative death and coagULopathy.
