What Is The Effect Of A Formalised Trauma Tertiary Survey Procedure On A Missed Injury Rates In Multi-Trauma Patients? Study Protocol For A Randomised Controlled Trial, Gerben Keijzers, Chris Del Mar, Leo M.G. Geeraedts Jr., Josh Byrnes, Elaine Beller

Background Missed injury is commonly used as a quality indicator in trauma care. The trauma tertiary survey (TTS) has been proposed to reduce missed injuries. However a systematic review assessing the effect of the TTS on missed injury rates in trauma patients found only observational studies, only suggesting a possible increase in early detection and reduction in missed injuries, with significant potential biases. Therefore, more robust methods are necessary to test whether implementation of a formal TTS will increase early in-hospital injury detection, decrease delayed diagnosis and decrease missed injuries after hospital discharge. Methods/Design We propose a cluster-randomised, controlled trial …

The Pediatric Orthopaedic Trauma Season: Does It Exist?, Ava A. Boswell, Seth B. Mccord, Cole L. Paffett, Anthony Kallur
The Pediatric Orthopaedic Trauma Season: Does It Exist?, Ava A. Boswell, Seth B. Mccord, Cole L. Paffett, Anthony Kallur
UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal
Background: It remains unclear whether pediatric trauma, including fracture, occurs more frequently at a certain time of the year. We developed a database based on the University of New Mexico orthopaedics consult log (OCL) with the aim of determining whether pediatric fractures have a seasonal predilection.
Methods: The OCL for 2009 and 2010, representing a total of 2385 patient visits, was reviewed, and data on patients who were 17 years of age or younger who were treated for trauma were collected. The months and seasons of the year in which the trauma occurred were recorded.
Results: The OCL for 2009 …

Background
Severe traumatic injury and haemorrhagic shock are frequently associated with disruptions of coagulation function (such as trauma-induced coagulopathy TIC) and activation of inflammatory cascades. These pathologies may be exacerbated by current standard of care resuscitation protocols. Observational studies suggest early administration of plasma to severely-injured haemorrhaging patients may correct TIC, minimise inflammation, and improve survival. The proposed randomised clinical trial will evaluate the clinical effectiveness of pre-hospital plasma administration compared with standard- of-care crystalloid resuscitation in severely-injured patients with major traumatic haemorrhage.
Methods/design
This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, non-blinded trial to determine the effect of pre-hospital administration of …

Actually the most common indications for Open Abdomen (OA) are trauma, abdominal sepsis, severe acute pancreatitis and more in general all those situations in which an intra-abdominal hypertension condition is present, in order to prevent the development of an abdominal compartment syndrome. The mortality and morbidity rate in patients undergone to OA procedures is still high. At present many studies have been published about the OA management and the progresses in survival rate of critically ill trauma and septic surgical patients. However several issues are still unclear and need more extensive studies. The definitions of indications, applications and methods to …
Outcomes Associated With Blood Component Transfusion In Adult Trauma Patients, Allison R. Jones
Outcomes Associated With Blood Component Transfusion In Adult Trauma Patients, Allison R. Jones
Theses and Dissertations--Nursing
The purpose of this dissertation was to evaluate outcomes associated with blood component (BC) transfusion in adult trauma patients. Specific aims were to: 1) explore the relationship between traumatic injury, hemorrhage, and BC transfusion, focusing on consequences of the component storage lesion through presentation of a conceptual model; 2) systematically review research literature comparing outcomes of massively transfused major trauma patients based on ratios of BCs received; 3) evaluating the relationship between type of blood transfusion trauma patients received (whole blood versus BCs) and mortality likelihood after controlling for demographic and clinical variables; 4) evaluating the relationship between volume and …
