Principles of treatment and indications for surgery in severe multiple trauma.

Acta chirurgica Belgica, 1985
Despite major advances, pitfalls in diagnosis and emergency treatment influence the survival chances of multitraumatized patients considerably. Diagnosis of traumatic shock cannot be made by blood pressure, pulse rate and shock index. Immediate shock therapy is indicated in all cases with severe trauma of two body regions, combined injury of one body ...
