Abstract

[Surgical decision making in the polytraumatized patient remains a challenging task and depends on numerous factors such as injury patterns, physiological stability and immunoinflammatory response. For patients approaching physiological instability (“borderline patients”) a staged surgical approach is recommended based on an initial assessment of injury- and patient-related factors, and a continuous re-evaluation of dynamic parameters including acid-base changes, coagulation, blood transfusions and soft tissue status. Such multifactorial assessment, as proposed in the concept of safe definitive surgery, has been shown to be a reliable predictor of early complications and a sound tool to assist in timing surgical interventions.]
