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.
This study aimed to investigate the application of ultrasound guided puncture technique in blood collection in patients with severe trauma. The methods of this study is 93 patients with severe trauma were selected from the emergency room of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University from April 2020 to September 2,2020 and from October 2020 to March 2021, comparing the differences between nursing treatment efficiency and doctor satisfaction.
Using keywords (main) artery dissection aneurysm (main) artery haematoma (main) To diagnose X-ray imaging reports and medical record home page is a search, check the unit 11 hospitals in Zhejiang Province during the year aortic injury clinical data of 11 years, through the electronic questionnaire to fill in the form of information, information of diagnosis and treatment of the basic information for the patient injury mechanism and so on carries on the statistical analysis. Basic information includes gender, age, history of hypertension. Injury information includes injury mechanism information and trauma information. Injury mechanism refers to injuries caused by car accidents, high falls and other causes. Injury information includes diagnosis, injury severity score, Glasgow coma index, and Stanford classification of aortic injury. The information of diagnosis and treatment includes the method of treatment, the reason for referral, the time of definitive treatment and the prognosis. The method of treatment is divided into the first treatment group and the referral group. The first treatment group refers to the patients admitted by the hospital for the first time, and the referral group refers to the patients transferred from other hospitals. The reasons for referral include: the suggestion of the hospital after comprehensive consideration, the lack of diagnosis and treatment qualification of the hospital, the subjective will of the patient's family members. Deterministic treatment time refers to the time from injury to imaging examination and the time from injury to surgery and other data to be statistically analyzed.
This research aims to study the occurrence of post-traumatic stress, anxiety or depression in the parents of a child who has been hospitalized in intensive care unit following a severe trauma.
Patients will be selected after studying clinical records.Patients who had general anesthesia due to an injury related to severe trauma within 6 to 12 months prior to inclusion will be included. Three self-survey will be completed by the patient: PDEQ, PCL-5 and a demographic questionnaire. According to the PDEQ and PCL-5 scores, an association between a peri-traumatic dissociation state and a post-traumatic stress disorder can be established.
In this retrospective and prospective study, the aim is to determine a score for predicting a fibrinogen <1.5g/L (corresponding to European threshold of Directors recommendations of fibrinogen concentrates)
Traumatic coagulopathy is frequent and is an independent risk factor of mortality. Its detection mainly relies upon classic biological test like the prothrombin time and the international normaliezd ratio (INR). These tests are not available at the bedside. Point of care (POC) device for INR measurement are now available like the Coaguchek, Roche, France. The aim of the present study is to test the correlation between the POC INR and the laboratory INR.
The fact that sepsis disrupts immune system homeostasis by inducing an initial cytokine storm, that participates to occurrence of organ failures and early death, followed by a compensatory anti-inflammatory response leading to immunosuppression, is now well established. This immunomodulating response results in a higher risk of secondary infections and is associated to 2/3 of deaths related to septic shocks. Follow up of patients' immune status with time is crucial to guide therapy management. Objective of REALISM project is to demonstrate existence of this immunosuppression phase, by providing strong epidemiologic data for septic shock patients, but also by extension to other situations of inflammatory aggressions like severe severe trauma or burns, or major surgery. This project will provide tools to predict occurrence of secondary infections and guide patient management by comparing innovating immunomonitoring tools to reference tests non already adapted to a routine patient management. Targeted populations are adult patients hospitalized for septic shock, severe trauma (including severe burn) or major surgery and healthy volunteers, whom blood samples will serve to validate reference intervals of the two reference tests.
Background: Fluid resuscitation is a cornerstone of the initial management of the critically injured trauma patient yet there are numerous controversies surrounding this very common practice. As a result, these controversies have been the subject of numerous clinical trials, evidence-based guidelines and systematic reviews. With the publication of the landmark SAFE Study the equipoise between the 2 treatments (which were representative solutions for colloid and crystalloids respectively), 4% albumin and saline, was established. This has however been brought into further doubt by the paucity of data on the use of hydroxyethylstarches (HES), which are less costly and have less side effects than albumin, in trauma. More recent findings by Gruen and colleagues have shown that as much as 5% of all trauma deaths are the result of fluid overload based on the North American fluid management model for trauma (pure crystalloid fluid management). A meta-analysis done by Kern and Shoemaker found that supranormal fluid resuscitation with crystalloids is beneficial when given before the onset of organ failure in critically ill surgical patients. Balogh and colleagues found out that when supranormal fuid resuscitation with crystalloids was applied to victims of severe trauma, this resulted in a statistically significant increase in the incidence of mortality, multiple organ failure, intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). More recently, Kirkpatrick and colleagues reviewed and defined a 'secondary' ACS as a direct result of fluid resuscitation. They concluded that "excess resuscitation with crystalloid fluids might be harming patients and contributing to an increased occurrence of ACS." This study will serve as a pilot to test the hypothesis that there will be significant differences in clinical outcomes for patients with severe trauma treated with colloid (HES) plus crystalloid and crystalloid only fluid management regimens, most notably the incidence of IAH and ACS. It is hoped that the hybrid colloid (HES) plus crystalloid fluid management regimen will provide a means to avoid the untoward fluid overload and/or other complications of pure crystalloid fluid management and the costs/complications of albumin administration.
Organ failure following trauma is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. It appears that the development of organ failure is a direct result of an altered immune response. This altered response results in the production of circulating factors in the blood that causes direct injury to the injured patients' organs. The mechanism in which this altered immune response occurs is unknown. Based on work we have performed in our laboratory, we believe that this response is initiated on the cell membrane of particular immune cells known as macrophages. Although the cell membrane may appear uniform, it is not. The membrane is composed of specific segments that allow proteins to associate with each other forming receptors that are required for immune cell activation. These specific membrane components are composed of various lipids and cholesterol, and have been termed lipid rafts. Based on our laboratory work it appears that these lipid rafts can be altered following injury. In particular both the lipid and protein content within these raft segments may be altered allowing immune cells to become active leading to the production of factors that directly injure normal cells and organs. Thus, we plan to examine if these laboratory findings can be seen in patients suffering from trauma who develop clinical organ failure at Harborview Medical Center. If this is accomplished, this data will lead to the development of both prognostic and therapeutic interventions for the optimal care of injured patient
