Diuresis
GOAL:
Body Rewarming:
End-points of resuscitation:
Vital signs alone are poor indicators of end-organ perfusion.
Base deficit and lactate levels are reliable perfusion indices
(markers of the adequacy of resuscitation);
Permissive Hypotension
Definition:
Tranexamic acid:
Prevent fibrinolysis
Useful within 3 hours of injury
Recombinant human factor VIIa:
Does not decrease mortality
thrombo-embolic complications
Prothrombin complex, which contains factors II, VII, IX,
X, C,and S:
mortality, transfusion requirements,
complications, & lengths of stay
Hemostatic Adjuncts
Anti-fibrinolytic agents
Early administration of tranexamic acid (TXA), an
anti-fibrinolytic agent, (slightly decrease the risk of
death from bleeding)
Factor-concentrates
recombinant factor VIIa or prothrombin complex
concentrates (PCCs) (lack of evidence)
Resuscitation Goals and Monitoring
● “ non-surgical” bleeding,
● pH≤ 7.18,
● temperature ≤ 33°C,
● transfusion of ≥ 10 units of blood,
● total fluid replacement >12 L,
● estimated blood losses of ≥ 5 L
● Platelet count, PT, aPTT, fibrinogen levels and
thrombo-elastography findings
Damage Control Laparotomy
● sedation,
● paralysis,
● nutrition, started early
● fluid management strategies may improve closure
rates and recovery.
● Prophylactic antibiotics no more than 24 hours.
● Reconstructive strategies that may be used in the
acute and chronic phases of abdominal closure (6 -
12 months).
Temporary Abdominal Closure Devices
● Ventral Hernia
Complications of DCS
