Abstract
Dr. William Halstead once wrote, “The only weapon with which the unconscious patient can immediately retaliate upon the incompetent surgeon is hemorrhage.” In no other field of surgery is this more apparent than in trauma. Hemorrhage is a major factor for mortality in patients presenting after injury. Thus, it is imperative for the competent surgeon to treat hemorrhage expeditiously in order to restore physiologic homeostasis and prevent the dire consequences of ongoing bleeding.
