This review outlines the general principles of haemodynamic management and preclamping fluid resuscitation for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, a condition with an average hospital mortality of 50%.
This review outlines the general principles of haemodynamic management and preclamping fluid resuscitation for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, a highly lethal surgical emergency.
Cautious haemodynamic management is advised in rAAA; leaves open optimal preclamping fluid protocols pending higher-level evidence.
Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm currently accounts for about 1 in 200 deaths and is a critical surgical emergency with an average hospital mortality of 50%. The combination of acute massive haemorrhage in an elderly patient with pre-existing medical disease is highly lethal and a major challenge for any health care system. This article outlines the general principles of management and discusses the problems of haemodynamic assessment and preclamping fluid resuscitation.

Brimacombe et al. (1994) conducted a review in Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. Haemodynamic management and preclamping fluid resuscitation was evaluated. This review outlines the general principles of haemodynamic management and preclamping fluid resuscitation for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, a condition with an average hospital mortality of 50%.
