Noncompressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH) is a major cause of preventable trauma death. Prompt surgical intervention is key, but evolving endovascular methods offer new treatment possibilities.

Area of Science:

  • Trauma Surgery
  • Hemorrhage Control
  • Resuscitation Strategies

Background:

  • Noncompressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH) is a primary cause of potentially preventable mortality in trauma patients.
  • NCTH is characterized by severe injuries in the chest, abdomen, or pelvis, coupled with hemodynamic instability or the urgent need for bleeding control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current management of NCTH.
  • To discuss the evolving role of endovascular techniques in treating traumatic hemorrhage.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical practices regarding NCTH management.
  • Discussion of emerging endovascular technologies and hybrid room capabilities.

  • Damage control resuscitation with rapid operative management remains the standard treatment for NCTH.
  • Endovascular techniques are increasingly recognized as a viable adjunct or alternative in specific scenarios.

    • Conclusions:

    • While surgery is the mainstay, advancements in endovascular interventions and hybrid operating rooms are expanding treatment options for NCTH.
    • Future trauma care may increasingly integrate open and endovascular approaches for optimal hemorrhage control.
