Stopping the bleed isn’t just the first step in trauma care—it’s the foundation that defines everything else. In Episode 3 of Front Line Surgery: Mastering Military Trauma Care, COL (ret) John Holcomb, MD joins Drs. Joshua Dilday and Jeff Conner to discuss Damage Control Resuscitation (DCR). This episode dives deep into the priorities of resuscitation in combat and austere environments, reinforcing that bleeding control is not optional—it’s the beginning and the end of trauma care. Dr. Holcomb underscores the full use of available adjuncts, the shift away from crystalloids, and the life-saving role of balanced resuscitation using blood products, whole blood strategies, and walking blood banks.
