AB Severe  hemorrhage  after  injury  carries  a  mortality  rate  of  30%  to  40%  and  is  responsible  for  almost  50%  of  deaths  occurring  within  24  hours  of  injury.  Hemorrhagic  shock  is  an  important  contributor  to  postresuscitation  organ  failure  and  late  mortality.1  Resuscitation  of  traumatic  shock,  starting  in  the  prehospital  setting  and  continuing  throughout  the  victim’s  care  in  the  ED  and  on  into  the  hospital,  has  the  goal  of  restoring  the  necessary  level  of  tissue  perfusion  and  oxygenation  for  survival  while  simultaneously  limiting  further  volume  loss.
