Finally, several concerns have been raised regarding the fact that hyperlactatemia may occur as a result of factors other than inadequate tissue oxygenation, such as liver disease, recent alcohol consumption, cocaine use, asthma, and seizures. The criticism of using lactate levels to assess adequacy of resuscitation is that it represents a global indicator of perfusion and may not reflect hypoperfusion in specific tissue beds, which could lead to subsequent organ failure and death. Specifically, intestinal mucosal hypoperfusion has been associated with multiple organ failure, sepsis and mortality.
Early immobilization is recognized to reduce pain, restore neurovascular integrity, and control hemorrhage. 16 Cervical spine lDJunes associated with spinal cord damage are often catastrophic in terms of their permanent neurologic disability. These patients have sensory and motor deficits that impair respiratory efforts and pulmonary toilet. Protection of their airway and maintenance of their minute ventilation often results in the need for mechanical ventilation. Positive thoracic pressure can impair venous return in the hypovolemic patient and lead to relative hypotension.
