CATASTROPHIC HAEMORRAGE Uncontrolled haemorrage commonest cause of preventable death in trauma patients ( Hollcomb et al ann surg 2008) Priority changed from A B C – C A B C military treatment A B C Catastrophic bleeding 1st Catastrophic haemorrage should be arrested 1 st Secondly airway, breathing & then back to circulation The idea is to prevent exsanguination & death while airway is being assessed & maintained
