Treatment of tension hematomas through early drainage should be performed as soon as possible from the time of injury. An evidence-based protocol should be established in every emergency department to improve patient clinical outcomes. When debridement and coverage surgery are required, they should be performed in one stage, to reduce length of hospital stay and the incidence of medical complications.
