Filter by:Blunt vascular trauma to the lower extremity has been associated with injuries to the anteroposterior tibial arteries or popliteal artery in the form of transection, occlusion, or intimal injury. With many blunt injuries resulting in orthopedic fractures, the incidence of limb loss increases substantial. Distal vascular injuries combined with complex orthopedic fractures are more likely to result in limb loss. A recent retrospective study showed two main predicative factors resulting in limb loss was a result of multi-segmental bone fractures and prolong ischemic time greater then 10 hours.
In 2019, nearly half of all hospital contacts in Belgium took place through the emergency department, and more than a third of patients arrived after an accident or trauma. In instances of overcrowding, patients with minor orthopedic injuries face prolonged waiting times. Previous studies have shown that implementing triage protocols for medical imaging conducted by a triage nurse can reduce the Total Length of Stay (TLOS) for this patient group. This is a single-center, unblinded, randomized, controlled trial that aims to evaluate the impact of a nurse triage protocol on turnaround time (primary outcome), quality of care, and patient satisfaction. The study population consists of adults who present with minor orthopedic injuries below the elbow or knee and have an Emergency Severity Index (ESI) of 4 or 5. Participants are randomly assigned to either the 'nurse triage protocol' group (n=110) or the 'usual care' group (n=110).
Trauma patient care requires collaboration and interaction with close relationship between many stakeholders from different professions (senior doctor, intern, nurse, nurse helpers, surgeons, etc). This is a stressful situation where decision and action need to be quick, decisive and coordinate. In this situation, quality of care and patient safety depends on a good interprofessional communication. The acquisition of advanced communication skills, team management and leadership, stress management are essentials elements in the practice of Intensive and trauma care. However, advanced structured training or assessment of theses skills is lacking in medical education or Healthcare professionals training. The study therefore, aimed to develop a global and attractive training to help healthcare professionals to improve their skills. Captain SonarTM is a naval battle game where two teams each composed of four participants clash. Each player has a well-defined role and it is imperative to communicate in a closed loop to advance in the game. This game also includes components similar to support for shock management: stress, speed of action, central communication and teamwork of four protagonists (Team Leader-Captain, intern-Second, nurse-Mechanic, Nurse help-Detector). It may improve team building, team leadership, interprofessional work, communication, stress management. The study hypothesis is that this board game would have an impact on the performance of professionals when facing a multiple trauma simulated patient. (differences in terms of technical and non-technical performance. Different use of closed loop communication, Different stress management, different efficiency and interprofessional collaboration with potentially a reduction in the timing of treatment being delivered in trauma room)
1) Research Hypothesis 1. Trauma -> Inflammation -> Severe inflammation -> Poor prognosis 2. If the degree of inflammation in the serum is precisely measurable, the prognosis of patients with trauma can be predicted. In addition, if inflammatory processes linked to serum mitochondrial DNA copy number (smtDNAcn) and delta neutrophil index (DNI) are demonstrated, early intervention to improve outcomes in patients with trauma and a poor prognosis may be possible. 2) Basis of Research Hypothesis 1. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is currently used as a measurement tool to evaluate the severity and prognosis of critically ill patients. Recently, some studies reported that the DNI, an inflammatory index, is useful as a prognostic index. Although DNI is a simple prognostic index, further studies are necessary to investigate its usefulness as a reliable prognostic index for severely injured patients. 2. Therefore, this study aimed to: i. prospectively analyze the effectiveness of DNI by measuring the degree of inflammation in severely injured patients; ii. Measure serum mitochondrial DNA, which is suggested as a mechanism preceding DNI elevation, and identify the sequence of inflammatory steps leading to circulating mitochondrial DNA as a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP), DNI, neutrophils, and inflammatory cytokines; and iii. Establish the effectiveness of each indicator as a prognostic factor, construct a prediction model for poor prognosis, and prove the effectiveness of the final risk model.
The investigators intend to evauate the development and professional safety of aspiring prehospital emergency pyhsicians in a cross sectional and longitudinal modality. This compass objecitve and subjective evaluable professional skills essential in prehospital emergency medicine.
This study will rely on the training course of CTCT project to conduct standardized training for trauma practitioners in China. And the quality of training will be stratified research; Continuously improve the quality of trauma treatment and improve the prognosis of trauma patients.
In this study, the demographic and clinical characteristics of trauma patients followed up in the Intensive Care Unit of the Anesthesiology and Reanimation Clinic of the Health Sciences University Okmeydanı Training and Research Hospital for a 2-year period were evaluated prospectively to determine the morbidity and mortality rates and to determine the factors affecting these rates. data.
The objective of this study is to test the feasibility of using deliberate practice - goal-oriented training in the presence of a coach who can provide personalized, immediate feedback - to increase engagement. The research design involves recruitment of a national convenience sample of board-certified emergency physicians who will serve as trainees (n=30), pairing of the trainees with a coach, delivery of three 30-minute coaching sessions using the existing games as the training task, and assessment of the effect of the combined intervention on performance in the laboratory. The specific aims are: 1. To assess the fidelity of intervention delivery by measuring coaching skill acquisition, coaching skill drift and protocol adherence. 2. To assess the potential effect size of the intervention by comparing trainee performance on a validated virtual simulation with a control group of physicians (n=30). 3. To assess the acceptability of the intervention by using a mixture of validated instruments and semi-structured debriefing interviews with trainees to assess their engagement with the intervention.
Phase III, multinational, multicentre, randomized, prospective, double blind, parallel groups, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the analgesic effects of Test Diclofenac Sodium 140mg medicated plaster, Reference DIEP 180 mg medicated plaster, Flector® and Placebo plaster in patients with painful and phlogistic disease due to acute traumatic events of the limbs.
The new competence of paramedics to administer opioid analgesics in acute trauma patients without presence or phone-call consult with an emergency medical doctor will be assessed in this study.
