Abstract Since December 2019, the world is potentially facing one of most difficult infectious situations last decades. COVID-19 epidemic warrants consideration as a mass casualty incident (MCI) highest nature. An optimal MCI/disaster management should consider all four phases so-called disaster cycle: mitigation, planning, response, and recovery. outbreak has demonstrated worldwide unpreparedness to face global MCI. This present paper thus represents call for action solicitate governments...
Since the COVID-19 pandemic has occurred, nations showed their unpreparedness to deal with a mass casualty incident of this proportion and severity, which resulted in tremendous number deaths even among healthcare workers. The World Society Emergency Surgery conceived position paper purpose providing evidence-based recommendations for management emergency surgical patients under safety patient workers.A systematic review was conducted accordance Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Review...
Objective To test the hypothesis that controlled resuscitation can lead to improved survival in otherwise fatal uncontrolled hemorrhage. Methods Uncontrolled hemorrhage was induced 86 rats with a 25-gauge needle puncture infrarenal aorta. Resuscitation 5 minutes after injury continued for 2 hours lactated Ringer's solution (LR), 7.3% hypertonic saline 6% hetastarch (HH), or no fluid (NF). Fluids infused at mL[center dot]kg-1 [center dot]min (-1) were turned on off maintain mean arterial...
The prognostic impact of primary colorectal cancer (CRC) location following resection liver metastasis (CRLM) remains largely unknown. We sought to characterize the implications tumor among patients who underwent curative-intent hepatectomy for CRLM.Tumors cecum, ascending, and transverse colon were defined as right-sided; tumors sigmoid flexure, descending, left-sided. Clinicopathologic long-term survival data collected assessed using univariable multivariable analyses.About 475 CRLM at a...
(1) Background: The Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) is an algorithm that predicts hypotension, defined as mean arterial pressure (MAP) less than 65 mmHg for at least 1 min, based on waveform features. We tested the hypothesis use of this index reduces duration and severity hypotension during noncardiac surgery. (2) Methods: enrolled adults having moderate- or high-risk surgery with invasive monitoring. Participating patients were randomized 1:1 to standard care hemodynamic management HPI...
Angiogenesis plays an important role in growth, progression, and metastasis of tumors. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) overexpression has been associated with advanced stage poor survival several cancers.The association functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) VEGF gene gastric cancer development, prognosis, a case-control study 100 Greek patients was evaluated. The genotyping performed by PCR-RFLP analysis.Our results revealed marginally significant the 634CC genotype (P...
In the last three years, European Union (EU) is being confronted with most significant influx of migrants and refugees since World War II. Although dimensions this influx-taking global scale into account-might be regarded as modest, institutional response to that phenomenon so far has been suboptimal, including health sector. While inherent challenges refugee migrant (R&M) are well established, it seems EU oversees, a large extend, these aspects. A whole range emergency-driven measures have...
Background . To evaluate the effect of timing management and intervention on outcomes bile duct injury. Materials Methods We retrospectively analyzed 92 patients between 1991 2011. Data concerned patient’s demographic characteristics, type injury (according to Strasberg classification), time referral, diagnostic procedures, surgical management, final outcome. The endpoint was comparison postoperative morbidity (stricture, recurrent cholangitis, required interventions/dilations, redo...
Objective: Malnutrition is common in patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal cancer surgery. Our goal was to explore postoperative compliance with oral nutritional supplementation and define barriers consumption esophageal, gastroesophageal junction, gastric cancer.Methods: Participants were prospectively recruited from September 2015 November 2018. Preoperative status assessed using the Patient Generated Subjective Global Assessment. Malnourished at risk for malnutrition offered time...
Abstract Background Timely access to the operating room for emergency general surgery (EGS) indications remains a challenge across globe, largely driven by availability and staffing constraints. The “timing in acute care surgery” (TACS) classification was previously published introduce new tool triage timely appropriate of EGS patients room. However, clinical operational effectiveness TACS has not been investigated subsequent validation studies. This study aimed improve provide further...
Abstract Background Patients presenting with acute abdominal pain that occurs after months or years following bariatric surgery may present for assessment and management in the local emergency units. Due to large variety of surgical techniques, surgeons have be aware main functional outcomes long-term complications most performed procedures. The purpose these evidence-based guidelines is a consensus position from members WSES collaboration IFSO experienced surgeons, on abdomen focusing...
