Show Notes
In part 2 of the Trauma and Burn Anesthesia series, we discuss hemorrhage management in trauma, covering the causes and treatment of trauma-induced coagulopathies and the significance of essential lab values such as thromboelastography (TEG), blood gases and PT/INR/PTT. The discussion integrates key concepts from trauma anesthesia, including the lethal triad and diamond of death, underscoring how hypothermia, acidosis, coagulopathy, and hypocalcemia interact to worsen outcomes. Listeners are introduced to advanced diagnostics like TEG for real-time assessment of coagulation, and learn best practices for addressing hyperfibrinolysis with antifibrinolytics such as tranexamic acid to optimize resuscitative care and reduce mortality.
