[In-hospital trauma management - damage control]
Abstract:
Damage Control is a strategy for the initial treatment phase in severely injured patients. The aim is to avoid time consuming surgical procedures thereby reducing secondary damage and to improve patients' outcome. Once the patient is haemodynamically stabilized on the intensive care unit, definitive therapy - i. e. osteosynthesis, bowel/urinary tract reconstruction etc. - can be performed after a time interval of 5-10 days. Thus Damage Control is a quick and focused but preliminary treatment strategy in the initial emergency phase in critically injured patients.

Introduction to Hemostasis
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized,...
Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
