Abstract

Treatment guidelines and management principles of polytrauma patients are largely derived from experience, supplemented by the results of few clinical studies. Their clinical impact on survival outcome is rarely scientifically evaluated. Hence, research algorithms need to be developed which enable a rapid and profound reevaluation of the current treatment strategies in polytrauma care and which provide a solid basis for the assessment of future treatment options. Such new concepts might include a more individualized approach and a better identification of operative windows for early definitive care. Since polytrauma results in a complex physiological and immunological disorder, which is additionally influenced by multiple confounding variables, it is challenging to establish such novel algorithms by clinical research only. In this regard, the well defined parameters in valid basic science models can provide a solid base for evaluating current concepts and investigating future treatment options. Here we have analyzed the contribution of basic science to well-established concepts in polytrauma care, such as the management of trauma induced coagulopathy or the damage control orthopedics concept. Many of these ideas moved from prev...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
