Abstract

Recent advances in the care of the bleeding surgical patient have resulted in a significant decrease in the morbidity and mortality of major injuries. Concepts such as “damage control surgery,” improved blood banking techniques, a better understanding of component therapy, and increased awareness of the impact of the “lethal triad” (hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy) have enabled surgeons to successfully control severe hemorrhage. Understanding the physiology of the coagulation system, the clinical presentation of inherited and acquired coagulopathies, and appropriate treatment options enable the surgeon to provide optimal care for the bleeding patient.
