Abstract

Trauma has become a public hazard in modern society and its mortality has ranked the third place in all diseases. Traumatic-hemorrhagic shock is an important complication of trauma and accounts for nearly 50 % of the early death in trauma. In recent years, many new treatment measures and concepts have been put forward for the early treatment of war wound and trauma, including effective blood control, damage control resuscitation, early application of vasoactives and vascular hypo-reactivity control, etc. In this review, we will elaborate the new treatment concepts and measures to trauma shock and discuss the future trends.
