Abstract

Damage Control Resuscitation (DCR) is a strategy designed to prioritize hemostasis procedures, from the point of injury to surgical management, whether faced with an influx of bleeding casualties or a single casualty with severe hemodynamic instability. Widely disseminated, it provides clear objectives for prioritizing physiological restoration to the anatomy required for short-term survival. Initially applied to surgery, DCR has now been extended to the entire upstream care chain, including first aid and emergency medicine.

Keywords: Damage Control; balistique; ballistics; emergency; hemorrhage; hémorragie; plaie; resuscitation; réanimation; urgence; wound.
