12/14/2018

Is the era of damage control surgery over? Moderators Dr. Dave Morris and Dr. Carrie Valdez talk with Drs. John Harvin and John Holcomb about the role for DCS in the era of hemostatic resuscitation.  Perhaps it is time to shift our paradigm back to definitive surgery as the default plan now that that we are inducing less edema and coagulopathy with huge doses of crystalloid.
