Little is known about the scope of practice and outcomes in pediatric surgery performed by humanitarian organizations resource-poor settings conflict zones. This study provides largest report to date detailing such data for a major nongovernmental organization providing surgical relief support these settings.To characterize care provision specialized zones.A retrospective cohort was conducted from August 15, 2014, March 9, 2015, 59,928 interventions carried out January 1, 2012, December 31,...
During January 2010, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti, resulting in death and destruction for hundreds of thousands people. This study describes the types orthopedic procedures performed, options patient follow-up, limitations obtaining outcomes data an emergency setting.There is not large body that larger cohorts, especially those focusing on internal fixation surgeries resource-poor settings postdisaster regions. article 248 injuries over 300 carried out Médecins Sans...
Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are the leading cause of deaths in children < 5 years old worldwide, particularly affecting low-resource settings such as Aweil, South Sudan. In these settings, diagnosis can be difficult because either lack access to radiography or clinical algorithms that overtreat with antibiotics who only have viral LRTIs. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has been applied LRTIs, but not by nonphysician clinicians, and limited data from settings. Our goal was...
Lower extremity trauma during earthquakes accounts for the largest burden of disaster-related injuries. Insufficient pain management is common in resource-limited disaster settings, and regional anesthesia (RA) may reduce injured patients beyond current standards care. To date, no controlled trials have been conducted to evaluate use RA a setting. The Regional Anesthesia Painful Injuries after Disasters (RAPID) study aims whether (RA), either with or without ultrasound (US) guidance, can...
Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) injuries are very common in both civilian and military settings. Nearly half of all trauma incidents include a scalp laceration historical rates CMF battle increased from 16%-21% to 42.2%. The is highly vascular tissue uncontrolled bleeding can lead hypotension, shock death. Therefore, enabling on-scene providers, civilian, immediately manage face lacerations, manner that allows them still function tactical way, offers operational advantages. This case series...
The epidemiology of surgical site infections (SSIs) in programmes sub-Saharan Africa is inadequately described. We reviewed deep and organ-space SSIs occurring within a trauma project that had high-quality microbiology partnership active follow-up. Included patients underwent orthopaedic surgery Teme Hospital (Port Harcourt, Nigeria) for subsequently developed SSI requiring debridement microbiological sampling. Data were collected from structured chart reviews programmatic databases 103 with...
Abstract Although there are now approved treatments and vaccines for Ebola virus disease, the case fatality rate remains unacceptably high even when patients treated with newly therapeutics. Furthermore, these countermeasures not expected to be effective against disease caused by other filoviruses. A meeting of subject-matter experts was held during 10th International Filovirus Symposium discuss strategies address gaps. Several investigational therapeutics, vaccine candidates, combination...
