Filter by:Long bone fractures are among the most traumatic patients seen in emergency departments. Using ultrasound to diagnose long bone fractures can reduce the risk of complications occurring During the primary and secondary survey. The diagnosis of long bone fractures is traditionally accomplished through plain radiographs taken at perpendicular angles to each other. Because of the resources required for radiographic capability, X-ray can be inaccessible in rural or remote areas, or in hospital during break time, In settings where a radiography technologist is not present on-site or in patient have conditions do for him limitations movement Using ultrasound machines to do patient examination can be performed earlier of assessment, and at the bedside, reducing diagnostic delays and time to initiation of management. Additional Advantages of Ultrasound include its simplicity, portability, repeatability, and its lack of ionizing radiation. Using ultrasound technology don't need equipment for lead protectors on health care providers, as well as the harmful effects to patients of ionizing radiation and safe to use with pregnant patients in the first and second trimester. However, this technique can be impractical because the training necessary for the use of this technology Diagnosis of long bone fractures in primary assessment can decrease risk of complications such as shock, bleeding, swelling, embolism compartment syndrome, vascular or neurological damage and patient's transposition related change shape and type of a fracture. that complications can lead to life-threatening conditions up to death specifically in geriatric and paediatric Patients
The loss of muscle mass post-surgery confounds recovery efforts and leads to a delay in patient's ability to return to activities. Although the use of testosterone in aging and chronic muscle loss has been investigated, this study could prove short-term use of testosterone efficacious in preventing muscle atrophy due to surgery. We hypothesize that by bracketing an indexed knee surgery with testosterone undecanoate injections, post-surgical quadriceps muscle loss may be minimized. Determination of the effect of intra-muscular (IM) testosterone injections in preventing quadriceps muscle loss are measured by serial MRI and manual measurements of quadriceps cross-section.
The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of a mental health training program in volunteer and career firefighters.
The major aim of this project is to investigate the prevalence, recovery patterns and risk factors for health related quality of life functional, psychological, societal and economic outcome after trauma. Another aim is to validate the WHO Quality Of Life-bref (WHOQOL-Bref) questionnaire for the trauma population.
The aim of this study was to compare time, success rates of different laryngoscope blades for intubation with an immobilized cervical spine in a standardized pediatric manikin model.
