Filter by: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.
It is very important to choose the best central venous catheterization route for trauma patients, the determinants that need to be considered comprehensively include coagulation dysfunction, fracture of the clavicle on the side of the puncture, and tracheotomy care. More importantly, whether it can used simultaneously for accurate volume and invasive hemodynamic monitoring. For the purpose of support of cardiopulmonary function, the ideal position of the catheter tip is vital with regard to an accurate CVP and hemodynamic monitoring. Cannulation of the axillary vein is ideal for patients with severe poly-trauma because it avoids the thoracic cavity, intercostal arteries, tracheostomy, and clavicle, and is prone to compression even if the artery is injured. At present, there is no systematic introduction of ultrasound-guided axillary vein catheterization in the trauma ICU in the literature. Since Oct 2021, the investigators have attempted to practice axillary vein catheterization for this crucial trauma population; unfortunately, the investigators have not know till now whether this procedure is associated with accurate tip placement and its safety should also be weighted. So it is necessary to summarize the relevant clinical data.
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.
Humacyte provided HAVs as humanitarian aid to Ukraine. This retrospective observational study is designed to collect data from patients in whom the HAVs have already been implanted on a humanitarian basis between June 2022 and May 2023.
The goal of this prospective study with the aim to establish a registry is to learn about the role of steroid hormones in severely injured patients. The main question it aims to answer is whether steroid hormones influence morbidity and mortality after severe trauma. This is a prospective study with the aim to establish a large registry for severely injured patients and their hormonal status. Hormone levels will be measured upon arrival in the emergency room and within the following few days after trauma. Furthermore a detailed questionnaire aims to answer any hormone-related health questions.
This study relies on the use of a smartphone application (SOMA) that the investigators developed for tracking daily mood, pain, and activity status in acute pain, chronic pain, and healthy controls over four months.The primary goal of the study is to use fluctuations in daily self-reported symptoms to identify computational predictors of acute-chronic pain transition, pain recovery, and/or chronic pain maintenance or flareups. The general study will include anyone with current acute or chronic pain, while a smaller sub-study will use a subset of patients from the chronic pain group who have been diagnosed with chronic low back pain, failed back surgery syndrome, or fibromyalgia. These sub-study participants will first take part in one in-person EEG testing session while completing simple interoception and reinforcement learning tasks and then begin daily use of the SOMA app. Electrophysiologic and behavioral data from the EEG testing session will be used to determine predictors of treatment response in the sub-study.
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
This study aims to evaluate among trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock the clinical impact of hemostatic resuscitation between whole blood vs. blood components therapy in the following outcomes in a hierarchical analysis: mortality at 28 days and evolution of organ dysfunction.
Pain is an inseparable symptom of fractures and is the most important and common symptom that brings patients to medical centers; Therefore, paying attention to pain and its control is very important in the examination and treatment of fractures, and painkillers are usually needed for effective pain control. About 70-90% of the patients who go to the emergency room due to injuries have organ injuries. Among these patients, those who suffer from fractures endure severe pain, and since only 10% of patients have open fractures, the pain management of patients with closed fractures is particularly important. Various medicinal compounds have been used so far to control the pain of fractured patients, including opioid compounds such as morphine, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Opioids are the main drug class for pain control in fractures, but since they have significant side effects, various studies have been conducted in the field of comparing the anti-inflammatory effect of different drugs in fractures, and the effect of various combinations compared to opioids has been investigated. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories are always considered as an alternative to opioids and acetaminophen has also been considered to reduce the dosage of opioids, so in this study the effect of three combinations of intravenous morphine and ibuprofen plus intravenous acetaminophen and intravenous ibuprofen on pain levels in patients with a closed limb fracture will be investigated. This study is a blind randomized clinical trial, which investigates and compares the effect of intravenous morphine (Daropakhsh Company) with intravenous ibuprofen (Caspian Taamin Company) and intravenous acetaminophen (Caspian Taamin Company) with intravenous ibuprofen (Caspian Taamin Company) in reducing the pain of patients with closed limb fractures. The population investigated in this study will include all patients referred to the emergency room of Al-Zahra and Ayatollah Kashani educational centers in Isfahan city in 2022-2023.
Rib fractures are the most frequent injury after blunt thoracic trauma. It is very important to choose the most appropriate interventions to prevent complications. But who will benefit most of those interventions remains a challenge. This study analyses the correlation between chest X-Ray and CT scan. We also analyse different scores to predict respiratory failure.
