TLDR
This document presents an updated version of the guideline for the management of bleeding following severe injury, which provides an evidence-based multidisciplinary approach to themanagement of critically injured bleeding trauma patients.Abstract:
Introduction: Evidence-based recommendations are needed to guide the acute management of the bleeding trauma patient, which when implemented may improve patient outcomes. Methods: The multidisciplinary Task Force for Advanced Bleeding Care in Trauma was formed in 2005 with the aim of developing a guideline for the management of bleeding following severe injury. This document presents an updated version of the guideline published by the group in 2007. Recommendations were formulated using a nominal group process, the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) hierarchy of evidence and based on a systematic review of published literature. Results: Key changes encompassed in this version of the guideline include new recommendations on coagulation support and monitoring and the appropriate use of local haemostatic measures, tourniquets, calcium and desmopressin in the bleeding trauma patient. The remaining recommendations have been reevaluated and graded based on literature published since the last edition of the guideline. Consideration was also given to changes in clinical practice that have taken place during this time period as a result of both new evidence and changes in the general availability of relevant agents and technologies. Conclusions: This guideline provides an evidence-based multidisciplinary approach to the management of critically injured bleeding trauma patients.read more

TL;DR: The guideline now recommends that patients be transferred directly to an appropriate trauma treatment centre and encourages use of a restricted volume replacement strategy during initial resuscitation, and may also serve as a basis for local implementation.

TL;DR: These guidelines are intended to provide an overview of current knowledge on the subject with an assessment of the quality of the evidence in order to allow anaesthetists throughout Europe to integrate this knowledge into daily patient care wherever possible.

Acute traumatic coagulopathy.
TL;DR: Conventional concepts of traumatic coagulopathy as a late occurring condition in response to iatrogenic haemodilution are redundant and ATC is an endogenous impairment of haemostasis that begins at the moment of injury.

TL;DR: Key changes encompassed in this version of the guideline include new recommendations on the appropriate use of vasopressors and inotropic agents, and reflect an awareness of the growing number of patients in the population at large treated with antiplatelet agents and/or oral anticoagulants.

Immediate versus delayed fluid resuscitation in patients with trauma.

TL;DR: To the Editor: Dr. Bickell and his colleagues conclude that among hypotensive patients with penetrating injuries to the torso, "delay of aggressive fluid resuscitation until operative intervention improves the outcome," but the data do not support this conclusion.

Diagnosis and treatment of retroperitoneal hematoma in multiple trauma patients.
TL;DR: From 1984 to 1991 20 multiple trauma patients with pelvic fractures and retroperitoneal bleeding from pelvic vessels underwent angiographic localization and embolization of massively bleeding arterial vessels, finding thatEmbolization has proven to be effective in the treatment of such injuries.

TL;DR: The antishock pelvic clamp provides direct reduction and compression of unstable posterior pelvic ring disruptions, which is effective in preventing excessive blood loss and reducing the displaced sacral fractures or SI joint diastasis.

Significance of the initial spun hematocrit in trauma patients
TL;DR: This study found that patients in the OR group had a lower mean HCT when compared with the non-OR group and the effect of hemodilution from intravenous fluid is difficult to assess in a retrospective clinical study.
