Blunt traumatic abdominal wall hernias (TAWH) occur in approximately 15,000 patients per year. Limited data are available to guide the timing of surgical intervention or feasibility nonoperative management.A retrospective study presenting with blunt TAWH from January 2012 through December 2018 was conducted. Patient demographic, surgical, and outcomes were collected 20 institutions Western Trauma Association Multicenter Trials Committee.Two hundred eighty-one identified. One seventy-six...
Early and accurate identification of pediatric trauma patients who will receive massive transfusion (MT) is not well established. We developed the ABCD (defined as penetrating mechanism, positive focused assessment with sonography for trauma, shock index, age-adjusted [SIPA], lactate, base deficit [BD]) BIS scores a combination BD, international normalized ratio [INR], SIPA) hypothesized that score would perform best in ability to predict need MT children.Pediatric (≤18 years old) admitted...
Alteration in the homeostasis of trace elements such as magnesium may play a role development epileptic seizures. This study aims to investigate levels serum people with idiopathic generalized (IGE) seizures and symptomatic Northeast Nigeria.Serum level was measured using atomic absorption spectrometry among 40 adults IGE, 20 seizures, 30 healthy controls. Serum calcium, potassium, phosphate, albumin were also measured.The mean significantly lower epilepsy compared controls [0.79 ± 0.18...
Abstract Children who sustain moderate to large surface area burns present in a hypermetabolic state with increased caloric and protein requirements. A policy was implemented at our institution 2017 initiate enteral nutrition (EN) pediatric burn patients within 4 hours of admission. The authors hypothesize that early EN (initiated admission) is more beneficial than late ≥ from for associated decreased rates pneumonia, calorie intake, fewer feeding complications, shorter Intensive Care Unit...
Physical abuse is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality for children. Routine screening by emergency nurses has been proposed to improve recognition, but the effect on department (ED) workflow not yet assessed. We sought evaluate feasibility routine its length stay in network general EDs.
