AB Our  increasing  ability  to  keep  severely  injured  patients  alive  eventually  created  a  new  clinical  syndrome  known  as  post-injury  multiple  organ  failure  (MOF).  As  advances  in  prehospital  and  acute  hospital  care  conquered  “the  golden  hour”;  the  trimodal  distribution  of  trauma  deaths  described  in  the  1970s  and  1980s  slowly  flattened  its  first  mode  and  MOF  emerged  as  the  leading  cause  of  late  trauma  death.1,2,3
