To update the World Society of Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (WSACS) consensus definitions and management statements relating to intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). We conducted systematic or structured reviews identify relevant studies IAH ACS. Updated were then derived using a modified Delphi method Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development, Evaluation (GRADE) guidelines, respectively. Quality evidence was graded from high (A) very low (D)...
The last decade has seen many changes in the way we investigate and manage abdominal injuries. This study assessed pattern of injury its investigation patients admitted to a major trauma centre.A retrospective registry review all adult Liverpool Hospital between January 1996 December 2003 was undertaken. All were included, identifying mechanism injury, severity score, abbreviated score for abdomen, investigations intervention. period divided (period 1 from 1999, 2 2000 2003) two periods...
To characterize and evaluate indications for use of damage control (DC) surgery in civilian trauma patients.Although DC may improve survival select, severely injured patients, the procedure is associated with significant morbidity, suggesting that it should be used only when appropriately indicated.Two investigators an abbreviated grounded theory method to synthesize reported peer-reviewed articles between 1983 2014 into a reduced number named, content-characteristic codes representing...
The management of patients with hemodynamic instability related to pelvic fracture is a major challenge, high morbidity and mortality. Evidence-based institutional practice guidelines (PG) were developed as strategy optimize the care these patients. aims this study evaluate adherence new PG compare outcomes before after their implementation.Major blunt trauma (Injury Severity Score [ISS] > 15) (initial base deficit 6 mEq/L or received units packed red blood cells [PRBCs] during first 12...
Background: Previous studies have concentrated on the accuracy of Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST), but evaluation whether FAST changes subsequent management has not been fully assessed. Methods: This prospective study compared 419 trauma admissions two groups, and no-FAST, for demographics, time resuscitation, action after resuscitation. The 194 patients undergoing had their plan specified before, confirmed after, was performed to assess change management. To ensure scan...
Abstract Background Appendicitis is the most common abdominal surgical emergency worldwide. Differences between high- and low-income settings in availability of laparoscopic appendectomy, alternative management choices, outcomes are poorly described. The aim was to identify variation appendicitis within low-, middle-, high-Human Development Index (HDI) countries Methods This a multicenter, international prospective cohort study. Consecutive sampling patients undergoing appendectomy over 6...
Objective: To examine trends in mechanism and outcome of major traumatic injury adults since the implementation New South Wales trauma monitoring program, to identify factors associated with mortality. Design setting: Retrospective review NSW Trauma Registry data from 1 January 2003 31 December 2007, including patient demographics, year injury, level centre where definitive treatment was provided. Participants: 9769 people aged ≥ 15 years hospitalised for trauma, an severity score (ISS) >...

To develop a screening tool to identify patients at risk of developing intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) within 24 h patient's admission intensive care unit (ICU).Prospective, observational study 403 consecutively enrolled with an indwelling catheter, admitted mixed medical-surgical ICU in tertiary referral, university hospital. Intra-abdominal pressure was measured least twice daily IAH ACS defined as per consensus definitions.Thirty-nine cent...
Objective: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the utility, clinical impact, and work flow a new trauma hybrid operating theater. Summary Background Data: potential utility benefit theaters are increasingly postulated. Unfortunately, outcomes efficiencies these environments remain unclear. Methods: All severely injured patients who were transferred suite for emergent intervention between 2013 2017 compared consecutive prehybrid patients. Standard statistical methodology...
Abstract Few studies have prospectively analysed the delivery of care in trauma patients. This study undertook a prospective analysis performance and consistency at Level 1 centre. A 3‐month was undertaken all admitted patients Liverpool Hospital. Data were collected on patient demographics, mechanism injury, injury severity score (ISS), length hospital stay, outcome cause death. Delivery evaluated using 30 indicators assessment errors. Two hundred thirty‐six consecutive major studied. 73.3%...
