Severe renal injuries after blunt trauma cause diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for the treating clinicians. The need an operative vs a nonoperative approach is debated.To determine rate, causes, predictors, consequences of failure management (NOM) in grade IV V (BRIs).Retrospective case series.Twelve level I II centers New England.A total 206 adult patients with or BRI who were admitted between January 1, 2000, December 31, 2011.Failure NOM, defined as delayed operation death due to...
Introduction: Increases in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) can cause increases intracranial (ICP). Recently, we noticed that abdominal fascial release could be useful treating hypertension (ICH) after traumatic brain injury (TBI). We added this as an option our treatment of TBI. Methods: In institution, ICH is treated with algorithm using osmolar therapy, CSF drainage and barbiturates. Patients refractory have routine measurement IAP. If elevated, consideration given to decompressive...
Covid 19 patients often present with elevated D-dimer levels. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role D-Dimer levels in predict mortality and venous thromboembolism (VTE) events. This a retrospective chart review from 1 April 2020 30 June 2020, during peak pandemic. A total 350 were enrolled study; 69 (19.7%) died; 12 (3.4%) had deep thrombosis; 8 (2.3%) pulmonary embolism outcome. Peak collected median 765 ng/ml (266, 3135). Patients VTE outcomes significantly higher D-dimers than...
The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy percutaneous versus open tracheostomy in pediatric trauma population. A retrospective chart review conducted all tracheostomies performed on patients younger than 18 years for an 8-year period. There no difference incidence brain, chest, or facial injury between groups. However, group had a significantly lower age (14.2 vs. 15.5 years; P < 0.01) higher severity score (26 21; = 0.015). Mean time from 9.1 days (range, 0 16...
An effective injury prevention program is an important component of a successful trauma system. Maintaining support for hospital-based challenging, given competing institutional and priorities limited resources. In light those pressures, the American College Surgeons Committee on Trauma mandates that centers demonstrate financial as part verification process, recognizing hospital administrators might see such discretionary ripe target expense reduction efforts. This Topical Update from...
Women are under-represented in the surgical disciplines and gender bias is believed to play a factor. We aimed understand distribution of membership, leadership opportunities, scientific contributions annual trauma professional meetings as case study issues surgery.Retrospective collection leadership, presentation publication data from 2016 2018 Trauma/Acute Care Surgery/Surgical Critical (TACSCC) Annual Meetings. Gender was assigned based on self-identification demographic information,...
BACKGROUND Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a source of severe health consequences, and therefore, care organizations have recommended routine IPV screening. Implementing health-related screenings outside facilities common public practice, but to date, screening in hair salons has not been reported. The objective this study was determine the prevalence among women at salons. We hypothesized that would disclose setting rates abuse reflect national averages. METHODS recruited convenience...
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious public health issue with substantial burden on society. Screening and intervention practices vary widely there are no standard guidelines. Our objective was to review research current for IPV prevention in emergency departments trauma centers the USA provide evidenced-based recommendations.An evidence-based systematic of literature conducted address screening adult department patients. The Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development...
Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) represents an innovative method by which noncompressible bleeding in torso can be mitigated until definitive treatment obtained. To perform a systematic review literature on use REBOA trauma patients. An English and Spanish search was performed using MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, from 1948 to 2018. Keywords used were aortic occlusion, resuscitative balloon, REBOA, hemorrhage, aorta. The eligilibility criteria included only original...

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TTC) is characterized by reversible left ventricular apical ballooning in the absence of angiographically significant coronary artery disease. While TTC usually preceded an emotionally stressful event, physical trauma has been documented as a precipitating incident well.An 82-year-old female with no past medical history, presented to emergency department following motor vehicle collision. Trauma workup was for ulnar fracture, elevated cardiac enzymes, and ST-segment...
ABSTRACT Background Pneumonia leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is one of the devastating consequences coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) has been described as beneficial in lung injury and ARDS. We hypothesized that utilizing APRV would be advantageous COVID-19 ARDS population. Methods Prospective, observational, single-center study. Data were extracted on demographics, vasopressors, sedatives, analgesics, oxygenation...
