High-Yield Explanation
The initial aim of resuscitation is to maintain the blood supply to the vital organs: the brain, hea and kidneys. For a sho time, this can be achieved with a target systolic blood pressure of 70-90 mmHgThe concept of "permissive hypotension" refers to managing trauma patients by restricting the amount of fluid resuscitation administered while maintaining blood pressure in the lower than normal range if there is still active bleeding during the acute period of injury. Although this treatment approach may avoid the adverse effects of early and high-dose fluid resuscitation, it carries the potential risk of tissue hypoperfusion.Bailey and love 27e 324
