Aggressive fluid resuscitation as patients may be severely hypovolemic from GI symptoms. 5 Orogastric lavage may also be considered for GI decontamination but likely to be limited by location, size of tablets, and operator familiarity. Blood transfusion for clinically significant blood loss. Antiemetics as needed.

Kenny MD [ @heart_lung ] In part 1 , right atrial pressure [P ra ] and cardiac output/venous return [CO/VR] were considered as two hemodynamic measures bound at the operating point [OP] of the circulatory system. OP is operating point. Shows what happens when Ppc, Pmsf, Rcardiac and Rvr all vary [grey operating points].

Uncertainty has persisted about the ideal blood transfusion strategy to resuscitate and support trauma victims as they are prepared to undergo surgical and other mechanical interventions to achieve hemostasis. This can interrupt massive blood loss and buy time for potentially life-saving damage control surgery.

We should expect TXA to help in immediate stabilization and allow trauma teams the time to intervene (whether that be continued resuscitation, interventional or operative procedures). This should continue to make TXA part of standard trauma resuscitation while additional studies are performed.

In one RCT, the FAST exam reduced the time from arrival in the ED to operative care by 64% in the setting of trauma. Nachi: This is all well and good, and certainly accurate, but let’s not forget that hemodynamically unstable trauma patients, like those with myocardial rupture, need to be in the operating room, not the CT scanner.

4 Patients with pelvic fractures are considered unstable when systolic blood pressure < 90mmHg and heart rate >120bpm, or in those with dyspnea, altered mental status, or skin findings of shock. 13 Massive transfusion protocols (MTP) are hallmarks of trauma resuscitation, and they are critical to the unstable pelvic fracture patient.
