Surgical Hemorrhage, Damage Control, and the Abdominal Compartment Syndrome

Abstract: The morbidity and mortality associated with surgical hemorrhage are considerable, particularly when relaparotomy is necessary. This complication can usually be avoided with comprehensive preoperative patient evaluation and meticulous surgical technique. The damage control sequence is a useful surgical strategy when severe intraoperative coagulopathy or hemodynamic instability is present. Abdominal compartment syndrome is a potentially lethal phenomenon that can occur following laparotomy or large-volume fluid … Show more

“…Despite their great ability for self-regulation, kidneys are extremely sensitive to hypoperfusion leading to acute renal failure [ 13 ]. Blood loss is a frequent clinical condition following a serious traumatic event or a major surgery, which may lead to ineffective tissue perfusion of vital organs (hypoperfusion), such as the kidneys [ 14 ], and consequently to nutritional and oxidative stress [ 13 ]. The markers of pre-apoptosis (cytochrome c) or apoptosis (M30 and TUNEL) were evaluated in all experimental groups.…”

“…Unclogging of the drain tube leads to the resumption of blood flow. If the hemorrhage is still active, the drainage will be with reddish coagulable blood, drop by drop, and will be a strong indication for relaparotomy or laparoscopy [64]. In some cases, not uncommonly, the source of bleeding can be identified in the parietal trajectory of the drainage tube that intercepted a more or less important blood vessel.…”

“…In the presence of depleted volume or hemodynamic instability, it is important to resuscitate patients using isotonic crystalloid solutions. The volume used initially in these cases can reach 2 L. In cases of inadequate response, transfusion of packed RBCs can be considered, with a rate that depends on the hemodynamic response of the patient [10] .…”

“…Thus, the accurate determination of bleeding source is an essential issue to plan proper therapy, and all efforts must be made to achieve this. Other important causes that must be considered in cases of late postoperative GI bleeding include ischemia, inflammation, and/or infection [10] .…”
