A series of recommendations regarding hospital perioperative preparation for the COVID-19
pandemic were compiled to inform surgeons worldwide on how to provide emergency …

Purpose Contemporary trauma resuscitation prioritizes control of bleeding and uses major
haemorrhage protocols (MHPs) to prevent and treat coagulopathy. We aimed to determine …

Introduction Exsanguination due to trauma-induced coagulopathy is a continuing challenge
in emergency trauma care. Fibrinogen is a crucial factor for haemostatic competence, and …

Introduction The purpose of this study was to re-evaluate the findings of a smaller cohort study
on the functional definition and characteristics of acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC). We …

Objective To determine the effectiveness of blood component therapy in the correction of
trauma-induced coagulopathy during hemorrhage. Background Severe hemorrhage remains a …

Background: Nonoperative management (NOM) of patients with severe splenic injuries
carries a significant risk of failure. We hypothesized that adding angiographic embolization (AE) …

BACKGROUND Trauma hemorrhage continues to carry a high mortality rate despite changes
in modern practice. Traditional approaches to the massively bleeding patient have been …

Objective: Developing pragmatic data-driven algorithms for management of trauma induced
coagulopathy (TIC) during trauma hemorrhage for viscoelastic hemostatic assays (VHAs). …

Background The effectiveness of trauma systems in decreasing injury mortality and morbidity
has been well demonstrated. However, little is known about which components contribute …

Objective: To determine the characteristics of trauma patients with low levels of fibrinolysis
as detected by viscoelastic hemostatic assay (VHA) and explore the underlying mechanisms …
