Hemorrhage is More Prevalent than Brain Injury in Early Trauma Deaths: The Golden Six Hours

Abstract: The temporal distribution of the cause of death varies in the first 24 h after admission. Hemorrhage should not be overlooked as the cause of death, even after survival beyond 1 h. Understanding the temporal relationship of causes of early death can aid in the targeting of management and surgical training to optimize patient outcome.

“…Within the first day, most deaths occur in the first 6 h after admission, 70% in the TR-DGU and 72% in the TARN. This is in the range of previously published observations of 60-80% [8,9].…”

“…1,2 In response to this realization, the last 10 years has seen a widespread paradigm shift in the resuscitation of critically injured patients. Early in this era, landmark studies identified iatrogenic and resuscitation-associated causes of coagulopathic bleeding after traumatic injury; hypothermia, metabolic acidosis, and dilutional coagulopathy were recognized as primary drivers of bleeding after trauma.…”
