PY - 2020 T2 - Trauma, 9e AB - KEY POINTSThe primary goal of critical care in the trauma patient is restoration of hemodynamic stability and organ function via continuation of early trauma care, hemostatic resuscitation, organ support, and specific injury management.The ultimate goal of optimal intensive care unit (ICU) care is to achieve zero preventable deaths after injury.High-intensity ICU physician staffing is associated with significantly reduced ICU and hospital mortality and significantly lower failure to rescue rates.Although Advanced Trauma Life Support has standardized trauma care in the initial hour after injury, there is little standardization subsequently in the ICU.ICU admission order sets should be used to optimize early ICU care on admission.Damage control resuscitation and massive transfusion protocols decrease mortality from hemorrhagic shock, which is the most common cause of early mortality in trauma.National evidence-based guidelines should be used to guide postinjury ICU care.Daily goals checklist and the ABCDEF Bundle enhance ICU patient safety and progress.All preventive strategies should be implemented to prevent hospital-acquired infections.Traumatic brain injury management is based on the Brain Trauma Foundation guidelines.Septic shock has a mortality rate of 40%; the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) guidelines and 2018 SSC bundle provide recommendations to improve outcomes.Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has a high mortality rate, and use of national ARDS guidelines reduces mortality.
