Potential role of therapeutic hypothermia in the salvage of traumatic hemorrhagic shock

چکیده
Although therapeutic hypothermia could serve as a potential therapeutic strategy for treatment of traumatic hemorrhagic shock, significant controversy exists regarding its safety and feasibility. The current resuscitation strategy in traumatic hemorrhagic shock may also require updating. In this article, we have carried out an extensive literature search in this field and propose an initial algorithm for use of therapeutic hypothermia in traumatic hemorrhagic shock. This work lays essential groundwork for future investigations in this field.

Hemorrhage remains the primary potentially preventable cause of death on battlefi elds and the second leading cause of death in civilian trauma [1,2]. Unfortunately, an estimated 56% of deaths occur during the pre-hospital period and 50% of patients died within 24 hours after admission as a result of hemorrhagic shock (HS) [3,4]. Among those found dead upon the arrival of emergency medical serv...
