VASOPRESSORS IN TRAUMA: A NEVER EVENT?
Justin E. Richards, MD, Tobias Gauss, MD, Tim Harris, MD
PDF12 pages1.5 MB
The article reviews the complex pathophysiology of traumatic shock and the implications of vasopressor use in trauma resuscitation. It argues against the conventional use of hypotensive resuscitation, suggesting that it may not align with the goals of restoring adequate organ perfusion and correcting coagulopathy. The authors emphasize the importance of targeting an appropriate balance in intravascular volume and vascular tone during resuscitation efforts.
