INTRODUCTION Ultramassive transfusion (UMT), of ≥20U red blood cell products in the first 24 hours, is rare, requires significant resource utilization, and associated with high mortality. The aim this study was to describe characteristics trauma patients undergoing UMT determine patterns survival after UMT. METHODS This retrospective, multicenter analysis from 11 high-volume centers included traumatically injured older than 14 years who received 2016 2024. Demographic, clinical, outcome data...
Damage-control laparotomy (DCL) has been used for traumatic and nontraumatic indications. We studied factors associated with delirium outcome in this population.We reviewed DCL patients at 15 centers 2 years, including demographics, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), diagnosis, operations, outcomes. compared 30-day mortality; renal failure requiring dialysis; number of takebacks; hospital, ventilator, intensive care unit (ICU) days; delirium-free coma-free proportion the first 30 ICU days...
<h3>Importance</h3> A scoring tool to identify which adults with traumatic injury will require early laparotomy could help improve prehospital triage and system readiness. <h3>Objective</h3> To develop validate a prediction model using information for following trauma. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the 2017 version of American College Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program database. All adult patients aged 18 years or older who...
