Abstract
Complete resuscitation is the restoration of homeostasis at the
systemic, organ, tissue, and cellular level, following a disruptive insult. Initial resuscitative efforts (Volume 1, Chapter 12)
commence in the trauma resuscitation suite (TRS) or occasionally in the prehospital period (Volume 1, Chapter 3). These
initial interventions may elevate the patient from severe
shock into a compensated shock state in which homeostasis
is partially restored. Patients existing in this incompletely
resuscitated condition can rapidly deteriorate in the operating
room (OR) or in the surgical intensive care unit (SICU) unless
ongoing resuscitation goals are met. No predefined duration
of the resuscitation period exists. However, for the purpose
of this textbook, the stage occurring after the patient leaves
the TRS is referred to as the “ongoing resuscitation period”
and is the subject of this chapter.
