| Popis: | Major trauma is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in young adults. The impact of disability on the quality of life and functionality in this younger population is worrisome. This remains a major public health concern across the globe. Immediate and early deaths account for nearly 80% of trauma deaths occurring within the first few hours of injury to the first few days, usually because of traumatic brain injury or major exsanguination and subsequently due to shock or hypoxia. Worldwide adoption of comprehensive trauma systems and evolving models of trauma care including prehospital interventions have led improvements in trauma and critical care over the last few decades. Resuscitation and damage control orthopaedics are two key pillars in the management of polytrauma patient. Trauma-related coagulopathy can be an emerging complication during resuscitation of such patients which should be recognized early so appropriate corrective measures can be undertaken. We describe the evolving models of care in the management of polytrauma and trauma associated coagulopathy. |
