There has been a marked shift in the practice of trauma
resuscitation over the last decade, towards damage control
resuscitation following the changes in our understanding of
acute traumatic coagulopathy. Damage control resuscitation
employs multiple strategies to combat hypothermia, acidosis,
hypoperfusion and coagulopathy. Techniques include active
rewarming, restricting fluid administration, aggressive early
blood products administration in an effort to prevent and limit
acute traumatic coagulopathy
