Export Hemorrhagic shock in pediatric trauma patients remains a challenging yet preventable cause of death. There is little high-quality evidence available to guide specific aspects hemorrhage control and resuscitation practices this population. We sought generate clinical recommendations, expert consensus, good practice statements aid providers care for these difficult patients. The Pediatric Traumatic Shock Consensus Conference process included systematic reviews related six subtopics one...
Blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) can result in thromboembolic stroke. Many trauma centers selectively screen patients with cervical computed tomographic angiography (CTA) based on clinical criteria. In 2016, our institution adopted universal screening for BCVI all blunt patients. The aim of this study was to accurately determine the incidence and evaluate diagnostic performance Denver criteria (DC), expanded (eDC), Memphis (MC) selecting screening.Retrospective cohort adult (≥16 years)...
OBJECTIVE Preoperative embolization of meningiomas can facilitate their resection when they are difficult to remove. The optimal use and timing such a procedure remains controversial given the risk embolization-linked morbidity in select clinical settings. In this work, authors used large national database study impact immediate preoperative on outcomes meningioma resection. METHODS Meningioma patients who had undergone elective were identified National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample (NIS)...
The patient is a 19-year-old female who had an incidental thyroid nodule discovered on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in July 2020 during the work-up of superficial, midline neck cellulitis. She reported having noticed bulge her few years prior but never been concerned about it. began seeing endocrinologist and underwent ultrasound 2020, which revealed solid, hypoechoic left upper lobe measuring 2.2 cm greatest dimension, classified as American College Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting...
Background: Data remains limited as to whether the order of pulmonary vessel division during performance a lobectomy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) affects survival outcomes. Some authors have suggested that ligation veins should be conducted first in minimize spread tumor cells secondary manipulation lung. This study examines there is difference outcomes between patients who undergo robotic lobectomies NSCLC using vein-first (V-first) vs. artery-first (A-first) technique. Methods: A...
Abstract Background Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) and malignancy are the most common causes of hypercalcemia. Among kidney transplant (KT) recipients, hypercalcemia is mostly caused by tertiary HPT. Persistent HPT after KT associated with allograft failure. Previous studies on managing tHPT were subjected to survivor treatment selection bias; as such, impact function remained unclear. We aim assess association between hypercalcemic survival. Materials Methods identified 280 recipients...
The timing of stroke onset among patients with blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) is not well understood. All trauma at our institution undergo a screening computed tomographic angiography (CTA) the neck. Most CTA evidence BCVI are treated aspirin, and all clinical aspirin magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain. We conducted retrospective review to determine incidence upon admission following admission.All neck CTAs head MRIs obtained in were reviewed from August 2017 2019. that interpreted...
Many patients undergoing general thoracic surgery can be discharged on the same day as chest tube removal, but some are not, leading to increased resource utilization. This study assesses frequency and duration of extended length stay (ELOS) after removal identifies risk factors for ELOS.We retrospectively reviewed all adult at a tertiary referral medical center captured in Society Thoracic Surgeons General Surgery Database obtained detailed clinical data management from August 2013 April...
We evaluated patient outcomes after early, small volume red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in the setting of presumed hemorrhagic shock. hypothesized that with even amounts would be associated more complications.Retrospective review trauma patients admitted to a Level 1 center between 2016-2021. Patients predicted require massive who survived ≥72 h were categorized according units RBCs transfused first 24 h. A Cox regression model stratified by dichotomized ISS and adjusted for SBP <90 mm Hg...
Primary hyperparathyroidism is now largely managed surgically via minimally invasive techniques. This shift was aided by preoperative imaging, which saw drastic increases in utilization the 1990s. Since then, it unclear how role of imaging has changed with regard to surgical management primary hyperparathyroidism. study aims describe trend localization techniques for using career data from two endocrine surgeons over last 20 years.Parathyroid case obtained spanning institutions 2000-2018....
The Pragmatic Randomized Optimal Platelet and Plasma Ratios (PROPPR) trial rapidly enrolled patients based on an Assessment of Blood Consumption (ABC) ≥ 2 score, or physician gestalt (PG) when ABC score was <2. objective this study to describe what were by the two methods whether patient outcomes differed these enrollments. We hypothesized that there would be no differences in via PG.
Uncontrolled truncal hemorrhage remains the most common cause of potentially preventable death after injury. The notion earlier control and blood product resuscitation is therefore attractive. Some systems have successfully implemented prehospital advanced resuscitative care (ARC) teams. Early identification patients key reliant on rapid decision making communication. purpose this simulation study was to explore feasibility early who might benefit from ARC in a typical US setting.We...
