Interfacility transfer of patients from Level III/IV to I/II (tertiary) trauma centers has been associated with improved outcomes. However, little data are available classifying the specific subsets that derive maximal benefit a tertiary center. Drawbacks include increased secondary overtriage. Here, we ask which injury patterns survival following interfacility transfer.
Near-infrared spectroscopy-derived tissue hemoglobin saturation (StO2) is a noninvasive measurement that reflects changes in microcirculatory perfusion. Previous studies trauma patients have shown correlation between low StO2 levels and mortality, organ failure, severity of injury. The goals this study were to identify the incidence critically ill patient population surgical intensive care unit (SICU) evaluate relationship clinical outcomes.We conducted prospective cohort at University...
We have previously demonstrated survival benefit to induced hypothermia in a porcine model of controlled hemorrhagic shock simulating an associated delay definitive care. In the current study, we wished evaluate effects environmental with addition polytrauma. Sixteen pigs were randomized normothermic (39°C, n = 7) or hypothermic (34°C, 9) groups. The included instrumentation, chest injury (captive bolt device), hemorrhage systolic blood pressure (SBP) ∼50 mmHg, and crush liver injury....
D-ß-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and melatonin (M) treatment improves survival in animal models of hemorrhagic shock. Here, we evaluated the safety BHB/M via 2 routes administration a porcine shock/polytrauma model. Furthermore, assessed serum concentrations after intravenous intraosseous infusion different doses healthy pigs. Pigs underwent pulmonary contusion, liver injury, hemorrhage. Injured animals were treated with an or bolus lactated Ringer’s solution (LR), followed by 4 h continuous...
Psychogenic polydipsia is prevalent amongst psychiatric patients, but less common in the general population. Generally, hyponatremia ensues with complications of cerebral edema resulting confusion, seizures, coma, and death. Rapid correction serum sodium levels can lead to further osmotic demyelination neurons, e.g. central pontine myelinolysis.We present a case 32-year-old male who presented seizures while being treated at drug rehabilitation facility. He was discovered be hyponatremic...
Hemorrhagic shock and injury lead to dramatic changes in metabolic demands continue be a leading cause of death. We hypothesized that altering the preinjury state with carbohydrate load prior would affect subsequent responses improved survival.Sixty-four pigs were randomized fasted (F) or prefeeding (CPF) groups 12 h experiment. The CPF received an oral 1 anesthesia. All underwent standardized injury/hemorrhagic protocol. Physiologic parameters laboratory values obtained at set time...
