Several mechanisms contributing to the development of post-traumatic alterations in
organ function are reviewed. The importance of interactions between clotting and inflammatory
mediators is detailed. A discussion of management strategies emphasizes the role of
early recognition and aggressive treatment of organ dysfunction.
