DAMAGE CONTROL SURGERY
• Damage control surgery is one of the major advances in
surgical technique in the past 20 years, including
• Minimizing time at the scene of trauma and in the emergency
department (ED)
• Minimizing admission laboratory testing
• Initiating resuscitation in the operating room for patients with
severe hypotension, cardiac arrest, or external hemorrhage
• Early operative control of hemorrhage
DAMAGE CONTROL SURGERY
• Damage control surgery are performed in injured patients with
profound hemorrhagic shock and preoperative or
intraoperative metabolic unstable that are known to adversely
affect survival
WHO NEEDS DCS??
• Thoracic Trauma
• Penetrating thoracic wound and systolic blood pressure <90
mmHg
• Pericardial fluid on surgeon-performed ultrasound after blunt or
penetrating thoracic trauma
• S/p emergency department thoracotomy for penetrating thoracic
wound
• Trauma to an Extremity
• Shotgun wound to femoral triangle of thigh

WHO NEEDS DCS??
• Abdominal or Pelvic Trauma
• Penetrating abdominal wound and systolic blood pressure <90
mmHg
• Blunt abdominal trauma, systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg, and
peritoneal fluid on surgeon-performed ultrasound or gross blood
on diagnostic peritoneal tap
• Closed pelvic fracture, systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg, and
peritoneal fluid on surgeon-performed ultrasound or gross blood
on diagnostic peritoneal tap
• Open pelvic fracture

die from their intra-operative metabolic failure
that from a failure to complete operative
repairs”

LETHAL TRIADS
• Hypothermia
• Severe hypothermia despite warming maneuvers initiated in the
ED and continuing in the operating room
• Acidosis
• Persistent acidemia despite vigorous resuscitation and control of
hemorrhage
• Coagulopathy
HYPOTHERMIA
• Hypovolemic shock in the preoperative period adversely
affects oxygen delivery and leads to decreases in oxygen
consumption and production of heat
• Hypothermia is the gateway to the triad because almost all
clotting mechanisms are temperature dependent
• Cold inhibits the clotting cascade, leading to coagulopathy
• Platelet dysfunction at low temperature
• Clinically important if less than 37˚C for more than 4 hr

COAGULOPATHY
• Unchecked hemorrhage, in turn, decreases blood pressure and
the amount of available oxygen, causing cells to convert to
anaerobic metabolism
• Hypothermia, acidosis and the consequences of massive blood
transfusion all lead to the development of a coagulopathy
• Haemodilution following massive resuscitation
HEMODILUTION
• Aggressive crystalloid, colloid resuscitation in absence of
plasma increases likelihood of coagulopathy

ACIDOSIS
• Interferes with blood clotting mechanisms and promotes
coagulopathy and blood loss
• Can lead to cardiac arrhythmias, decreased cardiac output,
increassed systemic vascular resistance
LIMITED OPERATION
• Control of hemorrhage from the heart or lung
• Conservative management of injuries to solid organs
• Resection of major injuries to the gastrointestinal tract without
reanastomosis
• Control of hemorrhage from major arteries and veins in the
neck, trunk, or extremities
• Packing of organs or spaces to control the inevitable
coagulopathy
RESUSCITATION
• Vigorous rewarming of the hypothermic patient
• Restoration of a normal cardiovascular state by the infusion of
fluids and blood and the use of inotropic and related drugs
• Correction of residual coagulopathy after hypothermia is
reversed
• Supportive care for stunned lungs and kidneys
REWARMING
• Bair Hugger
• Warming light, fluid and
blood product
• Gentilello
• Continuous arteriovenous
rewarming device
COAGULATION MANAGEMENT
• Plasma and platelet transfusion
• The ratio of 2:1:1 or 3:1:1
• Serial coagulation parameters should be monitored
• The administration of recombinant activated factor VII
(Novoseven) may also play a role in the management of a life-
threatening coagulopathy
• Administration of rFVIIa to coagulopathic trauma patients
significantly reduces the need for blood and blood-product
transfusion
• Three intravenous injections of rFVIIa (200, 100, and 100
μg/kg) at 8th unit of PRC, 1 and 3 hr after

ENDPOINT OF RESUSCITATION
• Permissive Hypotensive Resuscitation
• The optimal MAP is one which would provide a sufficient flow of
blood to delicately balance hemostasis
• The minimal MAP for the functioning of the vital organs is about
50 - 70 mmHg
• The goal blood pressure for these patients is a MAP of 40-50
mmHg or a SBP ≤ 80 mmHg
ENDPOINT OF RESUSCITATION
• Contraindication of Permissive hypotension
• Preexisting hypertension
• Preexisting cardiovascular disease
• Traumatic brain injury
• Pregnancy
• Underlying disease of cerebrovascular disease, carotid artery
stenosis, and compromised renal function
• Controlled resuscitation can effectively
• ↓ Additional blood loss
• avoid excessive hemodilution and coagulopathy
• Improve the early survival rate, and
• ↓ Apoptosis of visceral organs
J Trauma 2007; 63(4): 798-804
• In uncontrolled hemorrhage shock (UCHS) fluid treatment is
aimed at
• Restoration of radial pulse
• Obtaining a SBP of 80 mmHg By titration of 250 ml of isotonic
solution (Control resuscitation)
• High blood pressure (SBP>100 mmHg, MAP>70 mmHg) in
head-injured and in pregnant patients
World J Emerg Surg 2006; 31(4): 339-44
ENDPOINT OF RESUSCITATION
• Simple restoration of normal vital signs is not adequate as a
patient may simply be in “compensated” shock while
continuing to have occult hypoperfusion and ongoing tissue
damage
• Endpoint of resuscitation can be divided to :
• Global endpoint
• Regional endpoint
• Cardiac output, Cardiac index
• Oxygen delivery
• Mixed venous oxygenation
• Right ventricular end-diastolic volume
• Left-ventricular stroke work index
• Left-ventricular power output
• Base excess
• Lactate level
Global Endpoint
• Gastric tonometry
• Intramucosal pH (pHi)
• The gap between intramucosaland arterial pCO2
• Esophageal CO2, pH
• Sublingual CO2, pH
• Intramuscular pH
• Intramuscular pCO2
• Tissue O2 and CO2
Regional Endpoint
2003 Eastern Association for the surgery of Trauma
REOPERATION
• Completion of definitive repairs
• Search for missed injuries
• Formal closure of the incision
