Navigating the 'Triangle of Death': A Multidisciplinary Approach in Severe Multi-Trauma Management.

This case report details the challenging management of a 45-year-old male construction worker who suffered severe multiple injuries after a fall and subsequent collision with cement mixers. The patient presented with extensive injuries, including amputation, fractures and internal bleeding, leading to a state known as the 'triangle of death'. Despite the initial grim prognosis, evidenced by an ISS score of 28 and a mortality risk coefficient of 89.56%, the patient was successfully resuscitated and managed through a multidisciplinary approach. This included damage control resuscitation, emergency vascular interventions and targeted temperature management for brain protection. The patient's recovery highlights the effectiveness of comprehensive trauma management and the critical role of coordinated care in severe multi-trauma cases.
