Description
Understand the Pathophysiology and Clinical Presentation • Describe the mechanisms and systemic effects of compartment syndrome and reperfusion injury.
Objectives
• Understand the Pathophysiology and Clinical Presentation
• Describe the mechanisms and systemic effects of compartment syndrome and reperfusion injury.
• Recognize signs and symptoms of vascular trauma and ischemia in extremity injuries.
• Analyze Critical Care Management Strategies
• Review ICU stabilization protocols including ventilation, inotropic support, and renal replacement therapy.
• Discuss the role of multidisciplinary care in managing complex trauma cases.
• Explore Surgical and Resuscitative Decision-Making
• Evaluate indications for damage-control surgery versus definitive repair.
• Understand the criteria and timing for limb amputation in vascular trauma.
• Identify and Manage Complications
• Discuss complications such as rhabdomyolysis, acute kidney injury, and multi-organ failure.
• Review strategies for managing reperfusion injury and its systemic consequences.
• Apply Evidence-Based Interventions
• Examine the use of massive transfusion protocols, anticoagulation, and fasciotomy techniques.
• Review pharmacologic and supportive measures for metabolic derangements.
• Reflect on System-Level Challenges and Improvements
• Identify system deficiencies such as delays in blood product mobilization and lack of vascular trauma protocols.
• Propose quality improvement strategies including early activation of MTP and access to hybrid ORs.
• Promote Clinical Reasoning and Team Communication
• Encourage discussion on uncertainty in trauma care, timing of interventions, and resource allocation.
• Highlight the importance of early team-based decision-making in limb salvage versus amputation.
