DAMAGE CONTROLDr. Sudhanshu Goyal,PGY-1, General Surgery,Civil Hospital Aizawl
Why Damage Control?
"The modern operation is safe for the patient. The modern surgeon must make
the patient safe for the modern operation" - Lord Moynihan
Principles
Lethal Triad: Acidosis, Hypothermia and
Coagulopathy Damage Control Resuscitation (DCR)
Novel resuscitative strategies to limit physiological derangement
Damage Control Surgery (DCS) Treatment strategy of TEMPORIZATION
by prioritizing Physiological Recovery before Anatomical Repair
Four phase strategy DC0: DCR, RSI, early
rewarming and expedient transport to OR
DC1: concurrent DCR and DCS
DC2: ICU resuscitation and stabalization
DC3: Definitive surgery
Indications Massive Blood Transfusion
>10 unit PRBC
Severe Metabolic Acidosis pH< 7.30
Hypothermia <35 degree C
Operative time >90 mins
Coagulopathy Either on lab results or ‘non surgical’
bleeding
Lactate >5 mmol/L
Estimates show 10% of
the major trauma
patients to benefit from
DCS
DC0 Extends from pre-hospital setting to
ER DCR
Deleterious effect of excessive fluid and Acute traumatic coagulopathy
Consist of <C>ABC (RSI) Permissive hypotension Limitation of crystalloid and early transfusion Early use of TXA
Early use of Blood and Blood products Blood components targeting ATC Optimal ratio of PRBS,PC, FFP and other
products
Massive transfusion protocol Prevent delay in accessing blood E.g.
1 pack of un-crossmatched blood in ER f/b protocoled transfusion to prevent clotting
factor depletion
Imaging RSI f/b chest x-ray Spinal precations Pelvic binder If stabilized CT scan Primary and secondary surverys
DC1 (DCS)
Objectives Haemorrhage control Limitation of contaimination Temporary abdominal closure
Preperation OT prepped before taking patient Criciform position Prepped from chin to mid thigh RT, Foley’s Don’t delay for central line
Incision Midline laparotomy In pelvic fracture limit
just below umbilicus Easy to extend
superiorly or laterally
DC1 (DCS) cont…
Haemorrhage control Large clots removed manually Retract and pack each quadrant
sequentially While packing assess degree and
location of significant injuries If still hypotensive – suspect significant
arterial source Occlude aorta sequentially to gain
control
Major vascular injuries Arterial either ligation or
temporary shunt Venous majority can be
ligated, if not shunting Definitive reconstruction
to be avoided
DC1 (DCS) cont…
Haemorrhage control cont… Solid organ injuries
Prolonged repair to be avoided Splenic, Renal and Pancreatic injuries
best by partial or total resection Liver bleeding managed by packing,
tropical hemostatic agents Consider angioembolization whenever
available
Contamination control Control spillage of
intestinal content and urine
Simple bowel perforation in limited number may be repaired, else resection
Reconstruction, stoma creation and feeding tube avaoided
Biliary/ Pancreatic duct injury: controlled fistula
DC1 (DCS) cont…
Abdominal closure Fascial closure not
recommended Temporary closure to
avoid IAH/ACS
Contamination control cont… Biliary/ Pancreatic duct injury: controlled
fistula Bladder injury: Primary suturing with
foleys drainage, if large packing with foley’s drainage
Ureteric injuries: drained over IFT
Abdominal packing: sufficient to provide tamponade but not impeding vascular return or arterial suppy
DC2 Goal:
Reverse hypotension related metabolic failure
Support physiological and biochemical restoration
Normalise lactate within 24 hrs Aggressive Core Rewarming
Improves perfusion and reverses coagulopathy
Correct Coagulopathy FFP, Platelets and Cryoprecipitates
Complete physical examination and relevant imaging
Repair planning Usually require 24 to 36 hrs Unplanned re-operation
Ongoing transfusion despite normal clotting and core temp.
ACS: sustained or repeated IAP >20 mm Hg + new single/multiple organ failure
DC3 Maximum impact on achieving successful
outcome Normothermic, normal coagulation, pH
and lactate (24 – 36 hrs) Operative game plan
Handover (if different surgeon) Irrigate packs to avoid clot disruption Complete re-examination and
definitive repair Additional sites of bleeding controlled,
vascular repairs done and intestinal continuity is restored
Abdominal closure Formal abdominal closure
without tension should be done
If airway pressure >10 cm H2O temporary closure to be done
Can be closed within 1 week
