Abstract:
The following sections are included:
Remember the whole patient, do not just focus on the vascular injury.
Time is of the essence, avoid delay.
Massive haemorrhage is the major preventable cause of death after major trauma.
Do not attempt to mobilise large veins, use local pressure.
Consider temporary intravascular shunts in complex limb injuries.
Consider damage limitation surgery in patients developing hypothermia or acidosis.
