Abstract

The primary causes of trauma-related death are head injury and hemorrhage.1-3 These injuries result in death at the scene of injury in approximately 50% of all trauma cases,3,4 while the remaining 50% are transported to the emergency department for treatment. Hemorrhage may be the result of blunt or penetrating injury, or a combination of both.2 Regardless of the mechanism of injury in regard to the type of trauma, coagulopathy secondary to hemorrhage, acidosis, and the “bloody vicious cycle”5 of trauma is a major complication of traumatic injuries.
