Damage Control Resuscitation in Surgical Critical Care

  • First Online:
Damage Control in Trauma Care

Abstract

Damage control surgery was born out of the need to adapt surgical procedures to fit the physiological state of the patient. Although today leaving an open abdomen and performing a trauma procedure in stages are widely practiced, this was not the case decades ago [1]. Other procedures beyond laparotomy have also been employed, prioritizing trauma patient survival by using a damage control philosophy [2].
