Good Morning,
One of our ED Physicians is preparing to discuss permissive hypotension
in regards to trauma patients. We found all of the 2002 information from
Dr. Mattox's posts on the subject. Has Dr. Mattox or Frykberg, etc
posted any more up to date data? Feel free to reply off list if you
desire.
Thanks for your help.

Paul,

I would love to have those pdfs.  But doing it, clinically, I think
falls into the category of the randomized trial of parachute vs no
parachute when jumping out of a plane.  I think there's clear benefit in
NOT cooling the wound and the patient.  I am almost certain that you
will extend the zone of ischemia to become the zone of necrosis AND,
again, make the pt hypothermic.

But, I'm not sold on anything and always enjoy reading data.
