Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Trauma, 8e AB - The last few decades have seen great advances in the care of the injured patient from prehospital triage and transport to care in the intensive care unit (ICU). Care in the ICU is designed to reestablish homeostasis and minimize secondary and iatrogenic injury. Excluding early deaths in the operating room, most traumatic hospital deaths will occur in the ICU. More than ever, the outcome of critically injured patients is dependent on a solid understanding of the pathophysiology and evolution of traumatic injuries. Attention to detail is critical and an awareness of the pitfalls is essential if one is to be successful in avoiding preventable morbidity and mortality.
