Management of the traumatically injured patient in the intensive care unit is a complex and challenging area of general surgery. The problems encountered in the intensive care unit are the source of exciting clinical and basic science research. The future of caring for the severely injured patient suffering from the complications of trauma will undoubtedly further bond the art of clinical medicine to the accomplishments of developing technology and molecular biology.
