    AbstractThe results of extensive and prolonged surgical procedures performed in multi trauma patients are often poor. These patients may develop the lethal combination of metabolic acidosis, coagulopathy and hypothermia, which reduces their physiological reserve capacity. The 'damage control surgery' (DCS) approach is known to reduce the mortality rate in multi trauma patients. DCS consists of a short primary operation to control bleeding and prevent contamination. Thereafter, resuscitation is performed in the intensive care unit. Finally, reoperation and definitive repair of lesions are done.
