Filter by:The aim of the study is to compare emergency orthopedic trauma admissions between the pre-pandemic period and the pandemic period and to detect changes in orthopedic trauma epidemiology.
The proposed study is a prospective, observational, investigator and patient blinded study comparing the results of blood volume measurement using the FDA-cleared Daxor BVA-100 device to the Daxor BVA-200 device. Data from this study may be pooled with data from studies with similar design conducted at other sites, for the purposes of an FDA medical device submission.
Our study aims at investigating short and long-term outcomes following surgery for subaxial spine injuries in the elderly (octogenarian) population.
The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) in patients with traumatic hand and forearm injuries. A total of 170 patients with traumatic hand-forearm injuries with a mean age of 37.57±11.85 (18-63) years were included in the study. TSK, Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were applied to the patients in the first session. Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia was re-administered 15 days after the first session. Test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity of the TSK were evaluated. In addition, exploratory factor analysis was applied.
This purpose of this project is to specify and provide an initial test of a 10 session, individual-based cognitive therapy intervention to address symptoms of PTSD and poor engagement in HIV care among men who have sex with men (MSM) with trauma histories
The goal of this retrospective data-based study is to investigate the correlation between esophageal temperature and skin core temperature in trauma patients who underwent emergency surgery. Based on the medical records of patients who applied both temperature measurements simultaneously, the correlation between the skin core temperature and the esophageal temperature was investigated
This is a prospective quality improvement study to assess the effect of using an audit-and-feedback process for emergency providers on utilization of computed tomography of the cervical spine. The objective of this study is to determine whether providing repeated individualized feedback on CT C-spine utilization to emergency providers alters their practice pattern and reduces overutilization. The investigators hypothesize that emergency providers who receive individualized feedback regarding their CT C-spine utilization on a regular basis will alter their practice pattern to reduce overutilization of this imaging study.
Rivaroxaban, a non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants, is increasingly used to prevent stroke in patients with atrium fibrillation. It has previously been demonstrated that a point-of-care coagulation instrument (ROTEM) can detect the effects of rivaroxaban. Further, the ROTEM instrument can also detect the effects of hypothermia and acidosis. Given that trauma induced coagulopathy is enhanced by both hypothermia, acidosis and rivaroxaban, the investigators want to investigate any synergistic effects between hypothermia or acidosis and rivaroxaban. In an attempt to do so the investigators designed the current experimental study with the purpose to investigate the effects of rivaroxaban together with hypothermia or acidosis using the ROTEM assay EXTEM. The hypothesis is that a synergistic prolongation of hypothermia or acidosis and rivaroxaban can be detected in the initiation of clot formation demonstrated in the primary outcome variable, clotting time of the ROTEM assay EXTEM. Secondary outcome variables include direct effect on clotting time and direct and synergistic effects on clot formation time and alfa angle of hypothermia and acidosis detected in the ROTEM assay EXTEM.
We evaluated a cohort of adult trauma patients transported to emergency departments. The first vital signs were used to calculate the SI, MSI, and rSIG. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROCs) and test results were used to compare the discriminant performance of the indices on short-term mortality and poor functional outcome. A subgroup analysis of geriatric patients, traumatic brain injury, penetrating injury, and non-penetrating injury was performed.
Disaster medical teams are formed by hospitals in response to the manpower needs of a large number of injured and sick patients. The current planning of hospitals for a large number of disaster medical manpower is too superficial. The application of today's inspection methods in the treatment of a large number of injured patients is not as good as it is. Therefore, understanding the scene situation has become the key point of manpower deployment. Today's internet transmission speed and computer artificial intelligence technology are very different from 9 years ago. The investigators adopt one more simple and easy-to-operate inspection method and use artificial intelligence technology to assist.
