Demographics were well balanced in the two groups. 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). Randomization and blinding were appropriately conducted.

Early resuscitation, particularly with blood products in patients with hemorrhage, is literally a lifesaver. To facilitate this, massive transfusion protocols (MTP) have been designed to rapidly deliver sizable quantities of blood products to the trauma resuscitation bay. This was termed the ABC-D score.

It is important to closely monitor the patient’s haemodynamic status and repeat the pelvic x-ray post binder removal because a well-applied pelvic binder can mask fracture. REBOA Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA) is increasingly used as a non-invasive clamp of the aorta. From the case rID 52597 Fig.

Jeff : So as well all know Sepsis is bread and butter emergency medicine, but, what is sepsis? And sepsis-3 redefined septic shock as “hypotension not responsive to fluid resuscitation” with the added requirement of vasopressors to maintain a MAP greater than or equal to 65 and with a lactate > 2. So quite a few changes!
