Filter by:This study evaluates patients suffering from traumatic cardiac arrest assessed by the Danish HEMS between 2016 and 2021. The primary outcome is 30-day survival; secondary outcomes are status at admission to the hospital and prehospital return of spontaneous circulation. Further, the prehospital critical care was identified and evaluated.
Our study aims at investigating short and long-term outcomes following surgery for subaxial spine injuries in the elderly (octogenarian) population.
The primary objective of the BLAME-LESS study is to examine the effectiveness of an online psychoeducation program in reducing trauma-related feelings of shame and guilt in adolescents who experienced sexual or physical abuse .
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate whether thigh muscle mass and muscle wasting are associated with mortality in patients who visit the emergency department. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is thigh muscle mass associated with mortality in patient who visit the emergency department? - Does muscle wasting exist during staying in the emergency department? - Is muscle wasting associated with mortality in patient who visit the emergency department? Participants will be evaluated for serial thigh muscle mass using point-of-care ultrasound at the emergency department.
The CAlcium and VAsopressin following Injury Early Resuscitation (CAVALIER) Trial is a proposed 4 year, double-blind, mutli-center, prehospital and early in hospital phase randomized trial designed to determine the efficacy and safety of prehospital calcium and early in hospital vasopressin in patients at risk of hemorrhagic shock.
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.
Calcium helps blood to clot and thereby stop bleeding. Trauma patients who experience large volume blood loss often require blood transfusions and bleeding is the most common cause of death. The purpose of this study is to see if giving intravenous calcium immediately to patients who require large volume blood transfusion will decrease transfusion requirements, vasopressor use and mortality in bleeding trauma patients.
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a massive open online course (MOOC) for training lay first responders in sub-Saharan Africa. The research team will assess educational outcomes of first responder training implemented at program locations in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Uganda, and Kenya, through previously validated pre- and post-course survey instruments, standardized patient assessments, and incident reporting. The research team will investigate efficacy of MOOC training amongst diverse populations with variable technology literacy and utilize data gathered to develop more efficient means of disseminating basic first aid training information.
In this study, aimed to determine the effect of "Mindfulness Based Compassionate Life Training" given to university students on coping with post-earthquake trauma stress and grief process. According to the experimental design with pre-test and post-test control group, the participants selected from the universe will be assigned to the experimental and control groups impartially. In this study, a priori power analysis will be performed to determine the sample size. For the independent groups, in which the effect of "Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Life Training" on coping with post-earthquake trauma stress and grief will be compared, 80% power will be achieved at a significance level of 0.05 at a 95% confidence interval. A total of 68 participants will be reached by taking into account data losses and including 30% backup sample in the research. Participants included in the study will be numbered from 1 to 68 and 34 experimental and 34 control groups will be created from www.random.org. Pre-test data will be collected before applying to earthquake survivors in the experimental group and control group. 8 sessions of Mindfulness Based Compassionate Life training will be given to earthquake survivors in the experimental group. Training sessions will be held online. For its effectiveness and continuity, each session will be held between 3 days and 7 days. One week after the Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living training (after 8 sessions were completed), the "Post-earthquake Trauma Stress Level Determination Scale (NSSTDBÖ)", "The Grief Scale" was administered to the earthquake survivors. The "Self-Compassion Scale Short Form (STS-F)" post-test will be filled in by face-to-face interview. Post-test data from the experimental and control groups will be obtained simultaneously.
The purpose of the study is to assess screw deviation from pre-planned trajectory using the Mazor X robotic system in patients undergoing posterior thoracolumbar arthrodesis procedures between T2-S1.
