Most terrorist attacks have involved explosive devices. This review explains the mechanisms
of blast injuries. Primary blast injuries may produce rupture of the tympanic membranes …

Objectives Our objective was to systematically review randomized, controlled trials of fluid
resuscitation in animal models of uncontrolled hemorrhage and to explore potential sources …

Objective: To determine whether out-of-hospital administration of hypertonic fluids would
improve survival after severe injury with hemorrhagic shock. Background: Hypertonic fluids …

ContextSevere, uncompensated, traumatic hemorrhagic shock causes significant morbidity
and mortality, but resuscitation with an oxygen-carrying fluid might improve patient …

Objective: To determine whether activated neutrophils play a major role in secondary tissue
injury after resuscitation in trauma. We hypothesized that human neutrophil activation and …

Objective To test the hypothesis that controlled resuscitation can lead to improved survival in
otherwise fatal uncontrolled hemorrhage. Methods Uncontrolled hemorrhage was induced …

Background The appropriateness of vigorous fluid resuscitation to normal blood pressure
following hemorrhage in uncontrolled bleeding has recently been questioned due to the …

For the past 4 decades, the standard approach to the trauma victim who is hypotensive from
presumed hemorrhage has been to infuse large volumes of fluids as early and as rapidly as …

Austere far-forward battlefield environments present numerous obstacles in providing
adequate medical care to the injured soldier. In addition to logistical constraints that limit the …

Using a modified uncontrolled hemorrhage shock model with massive splenic and vascular
injury, we evaluated outcome and tissue oxidation injury with different resuscitation …
