Video Summary

Dr. Mattiara explained that hyperthermia is not part of the lethal diamond of trauma or hemorrhage. The TAG curve is used to target therapies, with R time being prolonged in this patient, improved by platelets, cryoprecipitate affecting clot formation velocity, platelets affecting clot strength, and tranexamic acid stabilizing clots. The correct therapy for this patient is FFP. Due to being a closed space, hemorrhagic shock cannot occur from cranial hemorrhage. After surgical fixation, the patient experiences symptoms like diaphoresis, tremors, and seizures, indicating likely hyponatremia, PCP intoxication, alcohol withdrawal, or neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
