Novel oral anticoagulant (NOAC) use is increasing in trauma patients. The reversal of these agents after hemorrhage still evolving. aim our study was to evaluate outcomes traumatic brain injury patients on NOACs.3-year (2014-2016) analysis prospectively maintained (TBI) database. We included all TBI with intracranial (ICH) anticoagulants. Patients were stratified into two groups, those NOACs and warfarin, matched a 1:2 ratio using propensity score matching for demographics, vital parameters,...
Increasing firearm violence has resulted in a strong drive for stricter legislations. Aim of this study was to determine the relationship between legislations and firearm-related injuries across states United States.
Plasma hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) reflects quality of glucose control in diabetic patients. Literature reports that patients undergoing surgery with an elevated HbA1c level are associated increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. The aim our study was to evaluate the impact on outcomes after emergency general (EGS).We performed a 3-year analysis prospectively maintained EGS database. Patients who had levels measured within 3 months before were included. divided into two groups (HbA1c < 6...
BACKGROUND Health literacy is an emerging focus of interest in public health and evolving as important component national policy. Low (LHL) associated with poor outcomes. We aimed to identify factors LHL its relationship outcomes trauma patients. METHODS prospectively enrolled all adult patients (age, > 18 years) our analysis. Patients were surveyed at discharge followed up 4 weeks postdischarge. At discharge, patient’s was assessed using the Short-Assessment Literacy score. defined score...
Brain injury guidelines (BIG) were developed to reduce overutilization of neurosurgical consultation (NC) as well computed tomography (CT) imaging. Currently, BIG have been successfully applied adult populations, but the value implementing these among pediatric patients remains unassessed. Therefore, aim this study was evaluate established (BIG-1 category) for managing traumatic brain (TBI) with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) without NC (no-NC).We prospectively implemented BIG-1 category...
In a university ophthalmology department, cluster of postoperative diplopia and ptosis cases occurred in the initial 3 months after hyaluronidase (Wydase) became unavailable for use with injection anesthesia. These suggest that hyaluronidase, when used anesthesia, may protect extraocular muscles nerves from toxic effects local anesthetic agents. The spreading action facilitates uniform diffusion This prevents elevated extracellular tissue pressure, cause ischemic damage to or nerves....
In the United States, marijuana abuse and dependence are becoming more prevalent among adult adolescent trauma patients. Unlike several studies that focus on effects of outcomes diseases, our aim was to assess relationship between a positive toxicology screen for mortality in such patients.A 5-year (2008-2012) analysis patients (older than 18 years old) Arizona State Trauma Registry. We included admitted intensive care unit (ICU) with marijuana. excluded alcohol or other substance screening....
Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is often performed in conjunction with evacuation of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) to control pressure (ICP) patients a traumatic brain injury (TBI). The efficacy DC lowering ICP well established; however, its effect on clinical outcomes remains controversial. aim our study assess TBI undergoing versus craniotomy only (CO) for the ICH.We 5-year retrospective analysis ICH who underwent or ICH. Patients were divided into two groups, those CO and DC. Propensity...
The association between surgical approach and post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) in cirrhotic patients is poorly understood. We hypothesize that will have similar rates of regardless whether they undergo minimally invasive resection (MILR) or open (OLR) major resections. In contrast, there be lower PHLF undergoing minor hepatectomy via the MILR approach.
