Trauma is a major cause of mortality, disability, and health care costs worldwide. The establishment trauma system known to solve these problems, but few studies have objectively evaluated the impact on outcomes. Since 2012, South Korea has established national based implementation 17 regional centers nationwide improvement prehospital transfer system. This study aimed measure changes in performance outcome according system.In this cohort-based, retrospective follow-up observational study,...
Damage control orthopedics (DCO) was proposed to minimize the second hit of extensive surgical procedures in severely injured patients when treated with early fracture fixation (early total care [ETC]). The impact DCO and ETC on outcomes sustaining femoral shaft fractures (FSFs) is unclear. We hypothesized that associated lower mortality decreased incidence complications compared ETC. Trauma Quality Improvement Project database queried from 2007 2021. Adult 14 years or older FSF Injury...
Although South Korea is a high-income country, its trauma system comparable to low- and middle-income countries with high preventable death rates of more than 30%. Since 2012, has established national based on the implementation regional centers improvement transfer system; this study aimed evaluate effectiveness. We compared rates, patterns, outcomes between 2015 2017. The review deaths was conducted by multiple panels, severity-adjusted logistic regression model created identify factors...
BACKGROUND Patients with multiple rib fractures often require advanced respiratory support to prevent intubation and associated morbidity. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) are commonly used, but direct comparisons of clinical outcomes cost-effectiveness remain limited. This study aimed compare NIV versus HFNC using a large, nationwide US database. METHODS retrospective cohort used the 2020–2021 National Inpatient Sample database identify adult trauma patients...
The preventable trauma death rate survey is a basic tool for the quality management of treatment because it method that can intuitively evaluate level national treatment. We conducted this study as biennial follow-up project and report results review 2019 data in Korea.
Background:We hypothesized that the recent change of sepsis definition by sepsis-3 would facilitate measurement timing for trauma patients presenting with initial systemic inflammatory response syndrome.Moreover, we investigated factors associated according to definition.Methods: Trauma in a single level I center were retrospectively reviewed from January 2014 December 2016.Exclusion criteria younger than 18 years, Injury Severity Score (ISS) < 15, length stay 8 days, transferred other...
Background: Injury severity scoring systems that quantify and predict trauma outcomes have not been established in Korea.This study was designed to determine the best system for use Korean population.Methods: We collected analyzed data from patients admitted our institution January 2010 December 2014.Injury Severity Score (ISS), Revised Trauma (RTS), (TRISS) were calculated based on enrolled patients.Area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) prediction ability of each...
Purpose: This study was designed to provide a basis for building master plan regional trauma system by analyzing the distribution of deaths in most populous province Korea. Materials and Methods:We investigated time death patients who died between January December 2017.The categorized into four groups (within day, within week, month, over month).Additionally, 24 hours further analyzed.We also reviewed according cause mechanism injury.Results: Of 1546 deaths, 328 cases were included final...
BACKGROUND This study examined the impact of performance improvement and patient safety (PIPS) program implemented in 2015 on outcomes for trauma patients a regional center established by government-led project national system Korea. METHODS The PIPS was based guidelines World Health Organization American College Surgeons. corrective strategies were proceeded according to loop closure principle: data-gathering monitoring, identification preventable deaths (PTDs), evaluation factors, analysis...
This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and outcomes of focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) determine factors associated true-positive FAST results.The results from 2016 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Cases involving penetrating injury, transfer other hospitals, age ≤ 16 years, prehospital arrest, no confirmatory test excluded. Intra-abdominal fluid was confirmed using computed tomography or operative findings. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value...
Ketamine and etomidate are commonly used as sedatives in rapid sequence intubation (RSI). However, there is no consensus on which agent should be favored when treating patients with trauma. This study aimed to compare the effects of ketamine first-pass success outcomes trauma after RSI-facilitated emergency intubation.We retrospectively reviewed 944 who underwent endotracheal a bay at Korean level 1 center between January 2019 December 2021. Outcomes were compared groups propensity score...
Abstract Aims Major trauma patients need adequate nutrition for recovery. This study aimed to evaluate the adequacy of nutritional supply and correlation between clinical outcome. Methods A single‐centre retrospective observational was undertaken, describing amounts energy proteins provided 320 critically ill during first 10 days after admission. The data were collected from electronic medical records admitted intensive care unit period descriptive statistical analyses performed with SPSS...
Trauma mortality review is the first step in assessing quality of trauma treatment system and provides an important basis for establishing a regional inclusive system. This study aimed to obtain reliable measure preventable death rate single province Korea.From January December 2017, total 500 sample cases trauma-related deaths from 64 hospitals Gyeonggi Province were included. All evaluated preventability opportunities improvement using multidisciplinary panel approach.Overall, 337 included...
We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an intensive care unit (ICU) round checklist, FAST HUGS BID (Feeding, Analgesia, Sedation, Thromboembolic prophylaxis, Head-of-bed elevation, Ulcer Glycemic control, Spontaneous breathing trial, Bowel regimen, Indwelling catheter removal, and De-escalation antibiotics-abbreviated as FD hereafter), in improving clinical outcomes patients with severe trauma. included admitted our trauma ICU from 2016 2020 divided them into two groups: before...
