The impact of hypoxia and hyperventilation on outcome after paramedic rapid sequence intubation of severely head-injured patients. Sebesta J. dAmAge control surgery In trauma, DCS refers to performing an initial lapa - rotomy in the hemodynamically unstable patient with the goal of quickly temporizing life-threatening injuries. Emergency medical services (EMS) can communicate valuable information prior to patient arrival, such as prehospital hypotension, hypothermia, blood loss, and ongoing hemorrhage that can trigger the trauma team to entertain damage control. The replacement of lost and consumed coagulation factors was the mainstay in the resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock for many decades. J Trauma. J Trauma. • Full exposure of the injuries. This phase of damage control occurs in the prehos-pital and trauma admission areas of the hospital.

Stone HH, Strom PR, Mullins RJ. The goal of Part 2 is to continue aggressive resuscitation in a rapid fashion in order to correct the physiologic derangements. J Trauma. ... is the most common indication for damage control surgery. It should be suspected if cardiac return is low, the IVC is collapsed on ultrasound, and the urine output decreases when previously appropriate or in the event of persistent hypoxia or hypercarbia with climbing ventilation pressures. Another important role of the ICU provider is to perform a thorough tertiary survey including physical examination and review of pertinent imaging and blood work to ensure that no injuries or wounds have been missed. This is a preview of subscription content. Compartment syndrome may develop in the abdomen even with a temporary dressing in place. Beekley AC, Sebesta JA, Blackbourne LH, Herbert GS, Kauvar DS, Baer DG, et al. Over the last two decades, public health measures and better pre-hospital care have led to an increasing number of seriously injured patients surviving their initial accident and arriving in hospital.1These injured patients often have injuries to multiple body cavities, massive haemorrhage, and near exhausted physiological reserve. In trauma patients predicted to require massive transfusion, administration of fresh frozen plasma, packed red blood cells, and platelets in a 1:1:1 ratio (of individual units) is associated with … A recent review by Shapiro et al identified over 1000 trauma patients who were treated using these modern techniques [8]. When proceeding to the operating room, the staff should be told to obtain a sterile pneumatic tourniquet and prepare for abdominal and extremity exploration and temporary dressings. Fearnside MR, Cook RJ, McDougall P, McNeil RJ. Over the last 10 yr, a new addition to the damage control paradigm has emerged, referred to a … J Trauma. This will be discussed further in Chap. Previously, 2 l of isotonic crystalloid were given followed by either more crystalloid or blood products if available to achieve a desired response in vital signs. Temporary vascular continuity during damage control: intraluminal shunting of proximal superior mesenteric artery injury. 2006;61:824–30. Transport to a definitive trauma center without delay is the primary goal of ATLS and prehospital care with a goal of less than 30 min from call initiation to arrival at the trauma center. Damage control resuscitation (DCR) is a strategy for resuscitating patients from hemorrhagic shock to rapidly restore homeostasis. J Trauma. The term “damage control” refers to a specific approach to the exsanguinating trauma patient. 2003;54:444–53. 159.89.172.72. Military, civilian, and rural application of the damage control philosophy. • Four quadrant packing. Total burn care. Not affiliated The principles of damage control surgery in trauma care include abbreviated surgery to control blood loss and contamination in the abdomen, simultaneous resuscitation of physiology, and definitive surgical management at a later stage after restoration of … Twenty years ago, damage control surgery (DCS) was implemented to challenge the coagulopathy of trauma. Even a single episode of prehospital hypotension that resolves with resuscitation can be indicative of a severely injured patient with little reserve for a lengthy operation [. Author information: (1)Department of Surgery, Division of Trauma/Critical Care, University of South Alabama Medical Center, Mobile, AL 36617, USA. As discussed in Chap. Bernard SA, Nguyen V, Cameron P, Masci K, Fitzgerald M, Cooper DJ, et al. Jabre P, Combes X, Lapostolle F, Dhaouadi M, Ricard-Hibon A, Vivien B, et al. If at any point the patient becomes hemodynamically unstable or physiologically deranged as in Part 1, begins re-bleeding, or demonstrates they are unable to undergo a lengthy operation, the temporary dressing may be reapplied and the patient returned to the ICU for further resuscitation. A critical judgment to be made by the surgeon is that of the operative profile: damage control versus definitive repair. The principles of damage control surgery were applied in the cases of three severely injured multitrauma patients, men aged 47 and 33 years who had a motorcycle accident and a 66-year-old man who had a car crash. The following goes through the different phases to illustrate, step by step, how one might approach this. Davis DP, Koprowicz KM, Newgard CD, Daya M, Bulger EM, Stiell I, et al. 2011;71:1869–72. Then, the patient is taken to the intensive care unit (ICU) for resuscitation, allowing time to recapture the patient’s physiology. If a vessel supplies an end organ or extremity, the vessel should be shunted [. The relationship between out-of-hospital airway management and outcome among trauma patients with Glasgow Coma Scale Scores of 8 or less. Br J Neurosurg. Cricothyroidotomy may be necessary with a blast to the face. Part of Springer Nature. If life-threatening bleeding is ongoing in one of the above mentioned cavities and/or the patient unstable, the surgeon should proceed rapidly to the operating room. 2006;171:352–6. J Neurotrauma. pp 99-108 | 4. Ann Surg. J Trauma. Improved survival following massive transfusion in patients who have undergone trauma. All exsanguination must be expeditiously stopped. Once bleeding is controlled in one cavity, the surgeon must rapidly examine the next. Int Care Med. Once the endovascular team is available, the surgeon and radiologists can work together to combine operative and endovascular interventions to stop bleeding. Damage control resuscitation. Impact of ICP instability and hypotension on outcome in patients with severe head trauma. Damage control surgery has been performed for a wide range of indications, but most frequently for uncontrolled bleeding during elective surgery, haemorrhage from complicated gastroduodenal ulcer disease, generalized peritonitis, acute mesenteric ischaemia and other sources of intra-abdominal sepsis. Background: Tractotomy has become the standard of care for transfixing through-and-through lung injuries as it can be performed quickly with little blood loss and a low risk of complications. Preventing renal failure in patients with rhabdomyolysis: do bicarbonate and mannitol make a difference? Serial troponins and electrocardiograms may also be included.

Supply carts and medication dispensers/storage should be in close proximity if not in the same room along the walls. The CT technologist should be notified that the patient will be arriving imminently. Thoracic damage-control operation: principles, techniques, and definitive repair. The concept has been expanded from the operative technique to principles underlying the logistical flow of a trauma patient from the scene through the emergency department to the operating room then ICU for resuscitation, and back to the OR for definitive repair. Over the last 10 yr, a new addition to the damage control paradigm has emerged, referred to as damage control resuscitation (DCR). The term “damage control” refers to a specific approach to the exsanguinating trauma patient. Surgery Depending on the circumstances, when surgery is required, it may be performed within 8 hours following injury. Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death on the battlefield. Damage Control Surgery (DCS) is established as a life-saving procedure in severely injured patients. Prehosp Emerg Care. Author information: (1)Department of Surgery, Division of Trauma/Critical Care, University of South Alabama Medical Center, Mobile, AL 36617, USA. The characteristic of the output from the temporary vacuum dressing and the amounts from the drains and tubes should be monitored. First Online: 19 August 2013. Chicago, IL: American Burn Association; 2010. Kragh Jr JF, Baer DG, Walters TJ. Large-bore IVs should be placed, and resuscitation begun with isotonic crystalloid. The patient should ideally spend as little time as possible— certainly no more than 20 min—in the emergency department resuscitation/trauma area including procedures and adjuncts (Fig. RT = Respiratory Therapist, POCT = Point of Care Testing, VS = Vital Signs, EKG = Electrocardiogram, The majority of trauma patients who are hypotensive are in hemorrhagic shock. 157 Accesses. In addition to the trauma, hemorrhage and tissue hypoperfusion, a secondary systemic injury, by inflammatory mediator release, contributes to acidosis, coagulopathy, and hypothermia and leads to multi system organ failure. 2007;21:274–8. 2006;61:8–15. Bladder pressures should be measured frequently or even continuously. Damage control Laparotomy 18 Principles • Control haemorrhage operative control of haemorrhage and simultaneous vigorous resuscitation with blood and clotting factors Availability of Blood, FFP, cryoprecipitate, platelet • Prevention contamination • Avoid further injury • Evacuation of blood. Ultimately, the earlier the decision is made to undertake damage control, the better chance of salvaging the patient. 1997;42:559–61. Extending the horizons of “Damage Control” in unstable trauma patients beyond the abdomen and gastrointestinal tract. Despite this reality, indications for initiating DCS remain debated.

Damage control surgery involves limited surgical interventions to control haemorrhage and minimize contamination until the patient has sufficient physiological reserve to undergo definitive interventions. Prehospital tourniquet use in operation Iraqi freedom: effect on hemorrhage control and outcomes. Endotracheal intubation in the field does not improve outcome in trauma patients who present without an acutely lethal traumatic brain injury. Victims of major trauma suffer from a worsening physiologic derangement manifested by the triad of acidosis, hypothermia and coagulopathy. Damage control surgery (DCS) is a concept of abbreviated laparotomy, designed to prioritize short-term physiological recovery over anatomical reconstruction in the seriously injured and compromised patient. Tactical surgical intervention with temporary shunting of peripheral vascular trauma sustained during operation Iraqi freedom: one unit’s experience. Updates on vital signs and physical findings allow emergency department personnel to mobilize resources. Initially, the DCS has been described in severe liver trauma associated with coagulopathy. (2019) Garcia et al. China: Elsevier, Inc.; 2012. The damage control surgery came up with the philosophy of applying essential maneuvers to control bleeding and abdominal contamination in trauma patients who are within the limits of their physiological reserves. Principles and Philosophy of Damage Control Surgery. It can be extremely helpful if anticipated problems are vocalized, so that anesthesia staff can prepare for the resuscitation and have rapid transfusers and cell savers available, while the OR staff can ready an abundant supply of sponges, basins, and adequate suction. An airway must be established if a patient cannot protect his own. 1996;40:764–7. Damage Control Resuscitation. While a trauma-ready operating room is always available at a Level 1 center, the lights can be turned on, the room and bed warmed, and the nurse, scrub technician, and anesthesia team mobilized to prepare for a case. If extremity hemorrhage is controlled with a tourniquet and the patient’s FAST is positive and if two teams are available, both the extremity and abdomen may be explored concurrently; in the case of a single operative team, however, one should begin with abdominal exploration if the extremity hemorrhage is controlled with a tourniquet. Brain Trauma Foundation. Damage control principles have emerged as an approach in non-trauma abdominal emergencies in order to reduce mortality compared with primary definitive surgery. Once a cavity is opened, hematoma and blood should be evacuated (usually manually) and the cavity packed with lap sponges. 2013;75:506–11. 32 Wounds are left packed if necessary, and temporarily closed. Ren Fail. 2001;51:261–9. 2002;91:92–103. In extreme situations, intubation may be occurring while prepping and draping the patient. Bochicchio GV, Ilahi O, Joshi M, Bochicchio K, Scalea TM. It originated with therapeutic packing to manage hemorrhage from liver injuries in the early 1900s and has evolved to the technique used today. This is a preview of subscription content, log in to check access. To implement damage control and salvage a severely injured patient, the team—EMS, emergency department personnel, surgeons, and ICU staff—must recognize patients that benefit from damage control and effectively communicate to ensure smooth transitions through the hospital system while providing quality care in each setting. Arch Surg. It is a staged strategy for the treatment of severe bleeding injury occurring from either blunt or penetrating mechanisms . The goal of resuscitation is to achieve a hemoglobin ≥ 7 g/dL (>70 g/l) (>9 g/dl, 90 g/l in an actively bleeding patient), INR <1.5, maintain platelets >100,000, and cryoprecipitate may need to be given if the fibrinogen is <200 mg/dl (<2 g/l). 1 damage control resuscitation (DCR) emerged as an extension of a principle used by trauma surgeons called damage control surgery (DCS), which limits surgical interventions to those which address life-threatening injuries and delays all other surgical care until metabolic and physiologic derangements … This webinar aimed at medical undergraduates will provide an outline of the principles and practice of damage control resuscitation and surgery. Stein SC, Georgoff P, Meghan S, Mizra K, Sonnad SS. Kragh Jr JF, Walters TJ, Baer DG, Fox CJ, Wade CE, Salinas J, et al. Damage Control Resuscitation Early surgical control of bleeding sites Early transfusion of plasma, platelets, and erythrocytes; minimized crystalloid usage Permissive hypotension (mean arterial pressure 60 mmHg) Correction of hypothermia and acidosis Timely use of CaCl 2, THAM, and rFVIIa Abbreviations: rFVIIa, recombinant factor VIIa; THAM, tris-hydroxy-methyl aminomethane (alkalizer). Ultrasound can help guide resuscitation, as intravascular volume can be based on inferior vena cava (IVC) collapsibility and cardiac contraction. Mil Med. Should a patient arrest just prior to arrival or in the resuscitation bay, an emergent resuscitative thoracotomy may be performed to release a cardiac tamponade and/or occlude the aorta in order to maintain perfusion to the heart and brain. J Trauma. Patients with multiple cavity injuries, blast injuries, burns, traumatic brain injuries, and crush injury are especially challenging. Part 2 occurs in the ICU. Damage Control Surgery (DCS) is an operative strategy that sacrifices the completeness of the immediate surgical repair in order to address the physiological consequences of the combined trauma of the injury and surgery. The principles of damage control surgery are ; Control haemorrhage ; Prevention contamination ; Avoid further injury; 12. Finger occlusion of a pedicle and the Pringle maneuver for the liver or twisting the lung at its hilum are fast techniques to control significant bleeding. BACKGROUND. The following represents specific treatment strategies for unique conditions. J Orthop Trauma. 2006;86:711–26. Despite this reality, indications for initiating DCS remain debated. Report can be called about 20–30 min prior to leaving the operating room which allows the ICU staff time to set up suctioning, warming, and massive transfusion equipment, gather pumps, tubing and supplies, and prepare for the patient as well as notify respiratory therapy to bring a ventilator to the ICU room. Advanced burn life support manual. While the resuscitation ratio is debated, a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio of packed red blood cells (pRBCs) to fresh frozen plasma (FFP) is the current recommendation. If a liver injury or pelvic fracture with bleeding is found, the team may proceed to a hybrid operating and endovascular room (when available) to control hemorrhage operatively while mobilizing the endovascular team. J Trauma. Once the patient is resuscitated as defined by meeting end-organ and hemodynamic endpoints, the patient is returned to the operating room for definitive repair. 2004;56:808–14. NTLHE. DAMAGE CONTROL SURGERY B. Stocchetti N, Furlan A, Volta F. Hypoxemia and arterial hypotension at the accident scene in head injury. The need for good decision making abounds in a trauma laparotomy, and the principles of hemorrhage control followed by contamination control with attention to coagulation physiology should help direct the surgeon. 2004;56:1191–6. DAMAGE CONTROL SURGERY - GUIDELINE TRIGGERS 4.1 This guideline will be triggered when there is a need to transfer patients to an operating theatre for DCS to arrest life-threatening haemorrhage, reduce contamination or restore perfusion. A trauma cart with basic supplies (shunts, staplers, tubes, drains, vacuum dressings) and various trays (vascular, thoracotomy, laparotomy) as well as a trauma suture tree should already be available in the room or just outside. Frequent, effective communication is imperative between the prehospital and emergency department teams. Patient selection also plays a role; the elderly, those with more comorbidities, and pediatric patients have less reserve, and thus, the team should have a lower threshold for damage control. Victims of major trauma suffer from a worsening physiologic derangement manifested by the triad of acidosis, hypothermia and coagulopathy. For extremities, a Stryker needle can be used to objectively quantify the pressure; rapid, significant increases in compartment pressures, a measured compartment pressure >30 mmHg, or <30 mmHg difference in the diastolic blood pressure and measured compartment pressure should prompt fasciotomies. Finally, complications of resuscitation can arise. Rapid termination of an operation after control of life-threatening bleeding and contamination followed by correction of physiologic abnormalities and definitive management. Damage control surgery. Damage control surgery (DCS) is a concept of abbreviated laparotomy, designed to prioritize short-term physiological recovery over anatomical reconstruction in the seriously injured and compromised patient. The goal of damage control surgery is to recognize patients who are physiologically deranged, need second explorations, or are at risk for complications if the traditional approach with closure is undertaken. If a combined thoracotomy and laparotomy is entertained and the hemithorax previously determined, a modified taxi cab hailing position is ideal. Chesnut RM, Marshall LF, Klauber MR, Blunt BA, Baldwin N, Eisenberg HM, et al. In abdominal surgery, “damage control” refers to those maneuvers designed to ensure patient survival. All injuries must be fully exposed to localize hemorrhage and contamination. Brown CV, Rhee P, Chan L, Evans K, Demetriades D, Velmahos GC. 7. Over 10 million scientific documents at your fingertips. 1995;39:757–60. Ukai T. The great Hanshin-Awaji earthquake and the problems with emergency medical care. J Trauma. The term ‘damage control surgery’ was coined by Rotondo and Schwab 3; they outlined the three stage approach to … Angiography before damage control laparotomy may also be indicated if there is Examiner should be on patient’s left side to facilitate Emergency Department (ED) thoracotomy and other surgical procedures if necessary. Etomidate versus ketamine for rapid sequence intubation in acutely ill patients: a multicenter randomized controlled trial. The temporary dressing and all packs are removed. A patient may exsanguinate externally or internally (thorax, abdomen, pelvis, retroperitoneum, soft tissues). Identification of patients who benefit from damage control surgery is an art that requires experience and communication. The lethal triad of hypothermia, coagulopathy, and acidosis appears as the patient reaches physiologic exhaustion, so waiting for the triad to develop and then undertaking damage control defeats the purpose of damage control. J Trauma. Damage control surgery is defined as rapid termination of an operation after ... Damage control principles can be applied to all disciplines of trauma care. PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Damage control surgery (DCS) has become a lifesaving maneuver for critically injured patients when utilized in appropriate scenarios. For example, a patient with a thoracoabdominal injury or multiple stab wounds may need both the abdomen and mediastinum or thorax explored, and the surgeon must make a judgment about which cavity is the primary source of bleeding or life-threatening injury. Chad G. Ball 1, Camilo Correa-Gallego 1, Thomas J. Howard 1, Nicholas J. Zyromski 1 & Keith D. Lillemoe 1 Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery volume 14, pages 1632 – 1633 (2010)Cite this article. It helps the technologist and radiologist reading the imaging to know the history (including mechanism) and physical exam findings as well as the suspected injuries as they may recommend arterial and venous phased scans, thinner slices through worrisome areas, or additional scans while the patient is still on the table. The principles of damage control surgery were applied in the cases of three severely injured multitrauma patients, men aged 47 and 33 years who had a motorcycle accident and a 66-year-old man who had a car crash. 2002;183:622–9. The principles of trauma surgery have evolved during the past 20 years; from initial aggressive, definitive management of all surgical injuries in the traumatised patient to an abbreviated laparotomy, secondary correction of abnormal physiological parameters and then planned definitive re-exploration; the damage control sequence. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) can result from aggressive resuscitation and blood product administration.
