Blunt cerebrovascular injuries (BCVIs) are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This guideline evaluates several aspects of BCVI diagnosis management including the role screening protocols, criteria for cervical spine injuries, use antithrombotic therapy (ATT) endovascular stents.Using Grading Recommendations Assessment, Development Evaluation (GRADE) methodology, a taskforce Practice Management Guidelines Committee Eastern Association Surgery Trauma performed systematic...
BACKGROUND Hemodynamically unstable patients with severe pelvic fracture are a significant challenge to trauma surgeons and have high mortality. Significant variability across institutions in hemorrhage control adjuncts used quell bleeding has been demonstrated. However, the effect of these methods on time definitive control, type resuscitation given, outcomes remains unknown. We sought elucidate those effects. METHODS This was multicenter retrospective review shock between 2011 2016. Shock...
Preoperative diagnosis of ischemic bowel in patients with small obstruction (SBO) is a clinical challenge. The aim this study was to identify preoperative variables associated found at operative exploration. We performed 5-year retrospective review admitted university affiliated, county funded hospital who underwent exploratory laparoscopy or laparotomy for SBO. Patients were excluded if they had known malignancy hernia on physical examination. Multivariate logistic regression used determine...
Occupational exposure is an important consideration during emergency department thoracotomy (EDT). While human immunodeficiency virus/hepatitis prevalence in trauma patients (0-16.8%) and occupational rates operative procedures (1.9-18.0%) have been reported, risk EDT unknown. We hypothesized that would be greater than other procedures.A prospective, observational study at 16 US centers was performed (2015-2016). All bedside resuscitation providers were surveyed with a standardized data...
vival found with increasing CD4 + cell levels.Patients were also divided into groups high (n = 26) and low 27) levels of CD3 using median expression as a cutoff.Median survival was 20.5 18.8 months, respectively, the 5-year estimate 18.0 months (95% CI, 6.0-35.1 months) 5.56 0.5-2.6 months), respectively.A similar analysis performed for those 22) postoperative circulating monocytes.Median 25.3 21.6 respectively; survival, 21.3 4.7-45.9months) 9.5 0.9-31.1 respectively.Multivariate Cox...
Inferior vena cava (IVC) injuries are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. To identify clinical factors mortality in patients undergoing operative intervention for penetrating IVC injuries, a retrospective review of 98 was performed, excluding blunt (n = 20) deaths before surgery 16). The overall 58 per cent. Nonsurvivors more commonly presented hypotension (50% vs 23%, P 0.03) underwent resuscitative thoracotomy frequently (42% 4%, 0.01). Retrohepatic were common among...
Abdominal seat belt sign (SBS) has historically entailed admission and observation because of the diagnostic limitations computed tomography (CT) imaging high rates hollow viscus injury (HVI). Recent single-institution, observational studies have questioned utility this practice.To evaluate whether a negative CT scan can safely predict absence HVI in setting an abdominal SBS.This prospective, cohort study was conducted 9 level I trauma centers between August 2020 October 2021 included adult...
The population of the United States is predicted to age dramatically over next few decades; as such older patients will comprise an increasing proportion injured populations. Due multiple comorbidities and frailty, old very are at greater risk for mortality than younger patients. To identify predictors inhospital in these patients, we performed a retrospective cohort study our Level 1 trauma center. Between April 2009 October 2014, identified 193 aged 80 years admitted intensive care unit....
Firearm injuries are the second leading cause of death among youth in United States. Nonfatal firearm far outnumber fatalities, yet data detailing recovery and post-injury needs pediatric patients after hospital discharge limited. This study evaluated health system support injury, from acute hospitalization to outpatient follow-up.We conducted a retrospective chart review <18 years who presented an urban level 1 trauma center between 2014 2019. Cases were categorized as accidental or...
Consensus is lacking for ideal management of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Patients are often monitored in the intensive care unit (ICU) without additional interventions. We sought to identify admission variables associated a favorable outcome (ICU 24 hours, no neurosurgical interventions, complications or mortality) divert these patients non-ICU setting future. reviewed all mTBI [Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) = 13-15] and concomitant ICH between July 1,...
