I recently gave a talk on the initial management of trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock. Clinical Take Home Point: In patients with TBI and hypovolemic shock, target a SBP or MAP ≥90mmHg, but know this is based on limited evidence. vs SBP target <90mmHg which resulted in a mortality of 33.4% NEJM 1994.
