You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Outline of proposed changes
This article as of now has some vague areas that I think should be expanded upon, this page may be someone's first introduction to a critical situation. +1

Additions: via Uptodate, will collect more research. +1

Links to ATLS- current trauma guidelines +1

Augment treatment section: Giving IV fluids in the setting of trauma is a controversial topic as of now. Should update with the current guidelines, IVF fluids should only be given if MAP <60, and should be given in the smallest volumes needed to avoid impaired clotting from diluted blood.

Add-Blood thinners should be stopped to avoid worsening of bleeding +1

Expand on imaging section organized for area of bleed

e-FAST: abdomen, chest, lungs

CT head without contrast: intracranial hemorrhage

CT Abd, pelvis

Add Possible outcomes of internal bleeding- general-ischemia, acidosis/ hypovolemic shock

Consider adding: Outcomes section with info re: prognosis, etc.

Consider if epidemiology stats would be helpful to include; will need to research this a bit more first
