The STOP the Bleeding Campaign. Crit Care. 2013 ; 17(2):1361364-8535http://hdl.handle.net/10668/1625According to the World Health Organization, traumatic injuries worldwide are responsible for over 5 million deaths annually. Post-traumatic bleeding caused by traumatic injury-associated coagulopathy is the leading cause of potentially preventable death among trauma patients. Despite these facts, awareness of this problem is insufficient and treatment options are often unclear. The STOP the Bleeding Campaign therefore aims to increase awareness of the phenomenon of post-traumatic coagulopathy and its appropriate management by publishing European guidelines for the management of the bleeding trauma patient, by promoting and monitoring the implementation of these guidelines and by preparing promotional and educational material, organising activities and developing health quality management tools. The campaign aims to reduce the number of patients who die within 24 hours after arrival in the hospital due to exsanguination by a minimum of 20% within the next 5 years.enHeridas y traumatismosHemorragiaTratamiento de urgenciaTrastornos de la coagulación sanguíneaPromoción de la saludEuropaAccidentesMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Pathological Conditions, Signs and Symptoms::Pathologic Processes::HemorrhageMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Wounds and InjuriesMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Therapeutics::Emergency TreatmentMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Hemic and Lymphatic Diseases::Hematologic Diseases::Blood Coagulation DisordersMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Health Care Facilities, Manpower, and Services::Health PromotionMedical Subject Headings::Geographicals::Geographic Locations::EuropeMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Environment and Public Health::Public Health::Accidentsresearch article23635083open access10.1186/cc125791466-609XPMC3672629
