Initial CABC: Advances that have led to increased survival in military casualties

Tools That Led To Increased Program Performance

This papers describes a set of tools that help a programmer be more e cient in optimizing scienti c programs for a parallel computer. The design of these tools emerged from experience gained during a successful optimization e ort on a set of representative supercomputer application codes. We have developed a number of utilities that complement available Unix tools. Additional tools o er a highe...

Early acute kidney injury in military casualties.

BACKGROUND While acute kidney injury (AKI) has been well studied in a variety of patient settings, there is a paucity of data in patients injured in the course of the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We sought to establish the rate of early AKI in this population and to define risk factors for its development. METHODS We combined the results of two studies performed at combat support hosp...

Continuous renal replacement therapy improves survival in severely burned military casualties with acute kidney injury.

BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury in severely burned patients is associated with high mortality. We wondered whether early use of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) changes outcomes in severely burned military casualties with predetermined criteria for acute kidney injury. METHODS Between November 2005 and June 2007, casualties admitted to our burn intensive care unit after sustaining b...
