These guidelines present the best available evidence to support clinical decision making in the prehospital setting when TBI care may have the most significant impact on outcomes; they also establish a research agenda for future investigations. This document is an update of guidelines first published in 2000, and then updated in 2007.

The scheduled, usually elective nature of cardiac surgery lends itself to large scale outcome prediction and indeed, cardiac surgery has found its outcomes examined very closely over the past few decades. Likely driven by rewarming induced vasodilation and hypothermia induced diuresis they can be hypovolaemic.
