Filter by:The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to learn if the use of a low-dose nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), ketorolac, reduces the rate of chronic opioid use in orthopaedic polytrauma patients. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Are patients who are given scheduled ketorolac during the first five hospital days less likely to develop chronic opioid use at 6 months after injury compared to patients who receive placebo? 2. Does scheduled ketorolac during the first five hospital days improve functional responses to pain at discharge, 3 months, and 6 months after injury? 3. Does early pain control provided by ketorolac decrease chronic opioid use through decreased acute pain and opioid use, improved functional responses to pain, or both? Participants will be enrolled and randomized to either the ketorolac (treatment) group or placebo group to be given every 6 hours during the first five hospital days. Pain and opioid use will be measured daily during the five-day treatment period. Opioid use will be measured and functional response to pain surveys will be obtained at discharge, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after injury. Researchers will compare ketorolac (treatment) versus saline (placebo) to see if ketorolac reduces chronic opioid use and improves the functional response to pain.
This study aims to investigate the true incidence and clinical presentation of post-traumatic AKI in hospitalized pediatric patients and identify the risk, and severity of AKI. The results would aid the emergency physicians in the early identification of those at risk of AKI to establish a resuscitation strategy that aims at preventing AKI
The aim of this study is to identify the incidence and the factors associated with acute kidney injury in adult poly trauma patients
Introduction: Injuries are a leading cause of mortality worldwide. It is necessary to know the incidence of injuries, mechanisms of wounds, therapy provided, and outcomes. Trauma registries are useful to describe the population served in specialized centers. Nevertheless, it is necessary also to identify the peculiarities of the event in the province and institutions non-dedicated to trauma attention. Objective: The study aims to describe the initial experience with a trauma register in a general hospital in the Colombian Orinoquia. Methodology: The investigators designed an observational retrospective study to analyze the admission database and revision of history charts of patients older than 15 years admitted for trauma from January to June 2023 in a hospital from Villavicencio, Colombia. The information will be exported to Excel for debugging and analysis. A description of the frequency and proportion of categorical variables will be performed; the central distribution and dispersion of quantitative variables will be reported. U of Mann-Whitney and Chi-square tests will be used to compare the variables by outcome; a p<0.05 was selected as a significant value. Conclusions: It will be a pioneer study in this region, and it is necessary to evaluate the incidence of patients admitted by trauma, the mechanisms and type of injury, the care provided, and the outcomes.
The study has three main phases. The first phase included A. Adjustment of research tools. Phase B. will examine the efficacy of the cultural intervention. Phase C. Follow-up study will be conducted after three, six, and nine months.
This prospective observational randomized study aims to determine energy, protein intake and gastrointestinal tolerance while using enteral nutrition formulas with very high protein content and enteral nutrition formulas with normal protein content. - Differences regarding achieving protein and calorie daily targets when using enteral nutrition formulas with different protein content - Differences regarding residual gastric volume when using enteral nutrition formulas with different protein content - Differences regarding body composition when using enteral nutrition formulas with different protein content
Trauma is defined as a physical injury from an external source of sudden onset and severity, which require immediate medical attention.Despite improvements in trauma systems worldwide, trauma continues to be one of the leading causes of death and disability in all age groups, especially the young and middle age group. For studying the outcomes of trauma, accurate and reliable methodological tools are required for appropriate scoring of severity and outcome prediction . Trauma scores were designed to facilitate the triage of patients in the ER (emergency room), and identify patients with Polytrauma with low chances of survival. Those scores were meant to organize and improve the quality of trauma care systems, and to assess resources allocation.3 12 In 1969, Researchers developed the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) to grade the severity of individual injuries. Attempting to summarize injury severity in patients with multiple traumas with a single number is almost difficult; therefore, multiple alternative scoring systems were proposed afterwards, each with its own problems and limitations. More than 50 scoring systems have been published for the classification of trauma patients in the field, emergency room, and intensive care settings. There are three main groups of trauma scores: (a) Anatomical, (b) Physiological, (c) Combined scores. Anatomical scores describe all the injuries recorded by clinical examination, imaging, surgery or autopsy and measure lesion severity. Physiological scores describe changes happened due to the trauma, and translated by changes in vital signs and consciousness. Scores that include both anatomical and physiological criteria (mixed scores) are more useful for patient prognosis
This single-center prospective cohort study conducted at the adult trauma ICU of the Montreal General Hospital (MGH) affiliated with the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) aims to determine the incidence and associated risk factors of augmented renal clearance (ARC) in critically ill trauma patients of 50 years old and above.
Trauma is a major medical and public health problem facing all countries in the world today. Trauma is the leading cause of death worldwide for people under 45 years of age, and more than 5 million people die each year from severe trauma. According to the "China Injury Prevention Report" issued by the Ministry of Health in August 2007, about 200 million injuries occur annually in China, with 700,000 to 750,000 deaths, accounting for about 9% of the total number of deaths. Serious trauma has the characteristics of high mortality and disability rate, and often affects the main groups of young and middle-aged people of social labor force. It has a tremendous impact on social and economic development, and has brought a heavy burden to society and families. The treatment of severe trauma is extremely important, and its treatment process needs a standardized model. In many links of trauma treatment, accurate assessment of injury is the precondition of classification and grading of diagnosis and treatment, and also provides a good basis for the follow-up standardized treatment of patients. The accuracy and consistency of injury assessment are also the reflection of diagnosis and treatment ability. ISS score is an evaluation method for severe trauma and multiple trauma patients. It has been used by emergency personnel for a long time. It also plays a very good auxiliary role in the evaluation and treatment of patients'injuries. However, there are still many problems in the clinical use of ISS scores: 1. Some hospitals do not attach importance to the application of ISS scores, and do not fully understand the scoring method; 2. Low frequency of use, inaccurate grasp of the method; 3. Three-level physicians have different valuations of ISS scores for the same kind of trauma; 4. Use AIS scoring table to calculate. It takes a long time to calculate the ISS score, which affects the normal first aid efficiency. To this end, our research team designed a questionnaire on the use of ISS score. The main purpose of the questionnaire is to assess and register the severity of injury in multiple trauma patients to understand the current use and proficiency of ISS score system by Chinese trauma surgeons, the difference of ISS score between three-level doctors and the same patient, and ISS score. The consistency between the software and AIS scoring table and the scoring time of the two methods are also discussed. This study hopes that through this survey, we can understand the current situation of the application of the scoring system in Chinese hospitals, in order to promote the standardization of severe trauma assessment and promote the use of the evaluation system in hospitals throughout the country, so as to provide optimized trauma treatment process for trauma patients.
To evaluate the effects of trauma treatment team establishment on the treatment of patients with severe trauma.
