Abstract

Scalp lacerations may bleed profusely when not adequately controlled. Three cases of isolated scalp lacerations that resulted in hemorrhagic shock are reported. A technique for achieving hemostasis using scalp clips is presented. Rapid assessment and early hemostasis of scalp lacerations are advocated, especially in the patient with multiple injuries.
