The Trauma Hemostasis and Oxygenation Research (THOR) Network, formed in 2010, is an international, multidisciplinary group of clinicians and investigators, with equal representation from both military and civilian experts. The overarching goal of the THOR Network is to improve outcomes for patients with traumatic injury through education, training, and research. While THOR has a focus on prehospital resuscitation, it also includes in-hospital resuscitation all the way through to completion of acute care. Damage control resuscitation (DCR) is a term coined by John Holcomb in 2007 that describes a bundle of care intended to improve outcomes for patients with severe traumatic bleeding. The individual principles of DCR have been practiced in one form or another for the last 100 years, with a handful of principles having fell out of favor for decades. Now, with a more modern understanding of pathophysiology, improvement in the safety of blood products, and reexamination of some previously well-established principles, there have been renewed interest and rapid adoption of DCR worldwide in well-resource
