Acute hemorrhagic hypovolemic shock is caused by a significant high blood loss and leads to hemodynamic instability. The decrease in intravascular volume results in cellular hypoxia and finally in damage to organs such as the liver and the kidney. The liver plays a decisive role in the development or prevention of multiple organ failure after hemorrhagic shock. Despite the large number of experimental studies, the knowledge of pathophysiological mechanisms in the liver after hemorrhagic shock is incomplete. The aim of this mini review was to provide an overview of the pathophysiological changes in liver function after acute hemorrhagic shock and to address treatment options to improve liver perfusion.

Management of cardiac trauma and penetrating cardiac injuries with severe hemorrhagic shock: a 5-year experience.

J Trauma Inj

December 2024

Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, Tam Anh Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Purpose: The diagnosis and management of cardiac trauma and penetrating cardiac injuries pose significant challenges in emergency settings due to the rapid onset of life-threatening complications. This paper presents a narrative review to better describe the etiology, presentation, and management of penetrating cardiac trauma, offering insights and experiences related to performing emergency surgery for such cases.

Methods: We compiled cases of traumatic cardiac rupture and penetrating cardiac injuries accompanied by severe hemorrhagic shock that necessitated emergency surgery.

Protective effect of sub-hypothermic mechanical perfusion combined with membrane lung oxygenation on a yorkshire model of brain injury after traumatic blood loss.

Chin J Traumatol

December 2024

Beijing Key Lab of Regenerative Medicine in Orthopedics, Key Laboratory of Musculoskeletal Trauma and War Injuries PLA, Department of Orthopedics, The Fourth Medical Center, Chinese PLA General Hospital, Beijing, 100048, China. Electronic address:

Purpose: To investigate the protective effect of sub-hypothermic mechanical perfusion combined with membrane lung oxygenation on ischemic hypoxic injury of yorkshire brain tissue caused by traumatic blood loss.

Methods: This article performed a random controlled trial. Brain tissue of 7 yorkshire was selected and divided into the sub-low temperature anterograde machine perfusion group (n = 4) and the blank control group (n = 3) using the random number table method.

Background: Hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are the leading causes of death in trauma. Future military conflicts are likely to be in austere environments, where prolonged damage-control resuscitation (p-DCR) may be required for 72 hours before evacuation. Previous studies showed that early administration of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) during p-DCR can significantly decrease the volume of resuscitation required in models of hemorrhagic shock and also provide neuroprotection after TBI.
