Purpose Of Review: Early treatment goals in the bleeding trauma patient have changed based on recent research findings. Trauma patients requiring a massive transfusion protocol have shown a decreased mortality based on a more aggressive and balanced approach to blood product resuscitation. This chapter will review the recent advances in managing the bleeding trauma patient.
Recent Findings: Recent data have suggested a combined approach of early ratio-based blood product use, bedside viscoelastic hemostatic assays, hemostatic resuscitation, and finally goal-directed therapy to complete resuscitation.
Summary: There is now evidence to support the early use of a 1 : 1 : 1 blood product transfusion protocol to restore lost circulating volume, improve oxygen carrying capacity, replace diluted platelets, and replenish clotting factors in massively bleeding trauma patients. Further study is needed to determine whether prehospital initiation of blood products and pharmacological adjuncts will improve outcomes.

Background: Multimodal neuromonitoring (MMM) aids early detection of secondary brain injury in neurointensive care and facilitates research in pathophysiologic mechanisms of the injured brain. Invasive ICP monitoring has been the gold standard for decades, however additional methods exist (aMMM). It was hypothesized that local practices regarding aMMM vary considerably and that inter-and intracenter consensus is low.

Perioperative bleeding is and remains a major complication during and after surgical interventions, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. The main causes of a non-primary vascular-related bleeding are congenital or multifactorial pre-existing hemostatic disorders that have not yet been diagnosed, the operating procedure itself and acquired hemostatic abnormalities as a secondary phenomenon, e.g.

Purpose Of Review: Bleeding complications from pelvic injuries occur after high-energy trauma as well as after low-energy trauma in elderly patients and are the main contributors to mortality. Demographic changes necessitate focussing on both entities and targeted therapies throughout the course of management.
Recent Findings: This article reviews the recent evidence and expertise on bleeding management for haemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic fractures with insights from prehospital care to trends in resuscitation and endovascular techniques and revival of older strategies, to challenges of definitive treatment.

Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Objective: To determine whether venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis is necessary after spine trauma and to assess the efficacy and safety profiles of anticoagulation agents.
Summary Of Background Data: Venous stasis, endothelial disruption, hypercoagulability, and orthopedic injury in spine trauma predispose 12%-64% of patients to deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Objectives: To assess the frequency and yield of retinal examination in children below 2 years old undergoing abuse evaluations in the setting of skull fracture(s) and small underlying intracranial hemorrhage.
Methods: This cross-sectional study used CAPNET, a multicenter child physical abuse network, to identify children below 2 years with a skull fracture(s) and intracranial injury limited to an underlying small focal intracranial hemorrhage undergoing subspeciality child abuse evaluations. Our outcomes of interest were (1) the performance of a retinal examination, (2) the identification of retinal hemorrhages, and (3) associations of clinical factors and CAPNET site with the performance of retinal examinations.
