American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) Organ Injury Scale (OIS) grades IV and V complex hepatic injuries are highly lethal. Our objectives were to review experience identify predictors outcome evaluate role angioembolization in decreasing mortality.This was a retrospective 8-year study all patients sustaining AAST-OIS managed operatively. Statistical analysis performed using univariate multivariate logistic regression. The main measure survival.The included 103 patients, with...
Background: The mechanism of injury has not been highly regarded as an important variable when evaluating cervical spine injuries. aim this study was to determine the incidence fracture (CSF) and spinal cord (CSCI) based on following blunt penetrating assault better aid prioritization management. Methods: Retrospective analysis from two large urban Level I trauma centers over 87 144 months caused by gunshot wounds (GSW), stab (SW) or (BA). Results: During period, there were 57,532 patients...
BACKGROUND The following three helicopter-based medical evacuation platforms operate in Southern Afghanistan: the US Army emergency technician (basic)–led DUSTOFF, Air Force paramedic-led PEDRO, and UK physician-led response team (MERT). Nearly 90% of battlefield deaths occur prehospital phase, comparative outcomes for these en route care are unknown. objective this investigation was to characterize nature injuries patients transported by platforms. In addition, it aimed compare observed...
Background Agriculture is a hazardous industry, with tractor-related incidents being among the leading causes of traumatic injury and death. These injuries tend to take place far away from hospitals, thus increased prehospital time receive care. Understanding relationship between outcomes such as hospital length stay mortality in state Nebraska could inform resource allocation for tractor related injuries. Study Design A 10-year retrospective study abstracting adults involved using The State...

Superior mesenteric vein injuries are rare and incur high mortality. Given their low incidence, little data exist delineating indications for when to institute primary repair versus ligation. The purposes of this study review our institutional experience, determine the additive effect on mortality associated vascular injuries, correlate with American Association Surgery Trauma-Organ Injury Scale (AAST-OIS) abdominal injury examine define outcomes ligation.Retrospective 156 months (January...
<h3>Hypothesis</h3> To identify significant risk factors associated with mortality in patients a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 3. <h3>Design</h3> Trauma registry study. <h3>Setting</h3> Level I urban trauma center. <h3>Patients</h3> A total 760 head injury an admission Analysis was performed all and only who reached the hospital alive had no major extracranial injuries (exclusion chest or abdominal Abbreviated Injury Score [AIS] >3). <h3>Main Outcome Measures</h3> Stepwise logistic...
Complex hepatic injuries grades IV-V are highly lethal. The objective of this study is to assess the multidisciplinary approach for their management and evaluate if survival could be improved with approach.Prospective 54-month all patients sustaining managed operatively at a Level I Trauma Center.survival.univariate stepwise logistic regression.Seventy-five sustained penetrating (47/63%) blunt (28/37%) injuries. Seven (9%) underwent emergency department thoracotomy mortality 100%. Out 75...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND Despite the high incidence of blunt trauma in older adults, there is a lack evidence-based guidance for computed tomography (CT) imaging this population. We aimed to identify an algorithm guide use Pan-Scan (Head/C-spine/Torso) or Selective Scan (Head/C-spine ± Torso). hypothesized that patient’s initial history and exam could be used imaging. METHODS prospectively studied patients aged 65+ at 18 Level I/II centers. Patients presenting >24 h after injury who died upon...
Background: To construct a predictive model of survival in isolated head injury patients, on the basis easily available parameters that are independent risk factors for outcome. Methods: Trauma registry-based study patients who had no other major extracranial injuries and were not hypotensive at admission. A probability death was constructed using discriminant analysis, admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, Abbreviated Injury Score (AIS), age, mechanism injury. Results: The included...
Historically, the incidence of genital and urinary tract (GU) injuries in major conflicts has been approximately 5%. To mitigate risk blast injury to external genitalia, United States Kingdom issued protective overgarments undergarments troops deployed support Operation Enduring Freedom. These two systems combined constitute pelvic protection system (PPS). Our hypothesis was that PPS use is associated with a reduction GU subjects exposed dismounted improvised explosive device injuries.We...
