Introduction
Major haemorrhage is a life-threatening emergency that can result from trauma (blunt, penetrating, or mixed) or a range of surgical and medical pathologies.
This operating procedure is primarily focussed on haemorrhage following trauma but the general principles of haemorrhage control and resuscitation apply to medical, surgical and obstetric patients. The full range of specific therapies and objectives for all of these pathologies are not covered here.
