Summary
Key Learning Points
1. Patients are likely to have disturbances of acid–base balance, temperature, coagulation and haemodynamics on arrival.
2. Damage control surgery may be required to stabilise patients.
3. Care in the intensive care unit should centre around preventing secondary insult such as sepsis, venous thromboembolism, secondary brain injury and multi-organ failure.
4. The clinician may need to balance the mean arterial pressure between achieving adequate cerebral perfusion and avoiding further bleeding.
5. Patients are at significant risk of acute lung injury.
