Robert D Barraco MD, MPH

BACKGROUND: Aging patients constitute an increasing proportion of patients treated at trauma centers. Previous and existing guidelines addressing care of the injured elder have not adequately addressed emerging data regarding optimal means for undertaking triage decisions, correcting coagulopathy, and the limitations of supraphysiologic resuscitation. METHODS: More than 400 MEDLINE citations published between the years 2000 and 2008 were identified and screened. A total of 90 references were selected for the evidentiary table followed by consensus-based discussions regarding the level of evidence and the strength of recommendations that could be derived from the related findings of the individual studies. RESULTS: In …

Bross Md, Randeep Jawa, Jennifer M Watters, Jennifer C. Knight, Andrew J Kerwin, Eleanor S Winston, Robert D. Barraco Md, Brian Tucker, James M Bardes, Susan E Rowell

The Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma had previously published a set of practice management guidelines for MTBI in 2001. The purpose of this review was to update these guidelines to reflect the literature published since that time. METHODS: The PubMed and Cochrane Library databases were searched for articles related to MTBI published between 1998 and 2011. Selected older references were also examined. RESULTS: A total …

Odontoid Fractures In The Elderly: Should We Operate?, Alice Fagin, Mark Cipolle, Robert Barraco, Sherrine Eid, James Reed, P. Mark Li, Michael Pasquale

Robert D Barraco MD, MPH

BACKGROUND: : Treatment of odontoid fractures remains controversial. There are conflicting data in the literature with regard to timing of operative fixation (OP), as well as whether OP should be performed. Within our own institution, treatment is variable depending largely on surgeon preference. This study was undertaken in an attempt to develop management consensus by examining outcomes in elderly patients with odontoid fractures and comparing OP to a nonoperative (non-OP) approach.

METHODS: : The trauma registry of our level I trauma center was queried for elderly (age > or = 60) patients with odontoid fractures from January 2000 to May 2006. …
