متن کاملHealth Outcome after Major Trauma: What Are We Measuring?
IMPORTANCE Trauma is a global disease and is among the leading causes of disability in the world. The importance of outcome beyond trauma survival has been recognised over the last decade. Despite this there is no internationally agreed approach for assessment of health outcome and rehabilitation of trauma patients. OBJECTIVE To systematically examine to what extent outcomes measures evaluate...
متن کاملLow central venous saturation predicts poor outcome in patients with brain injury after major trauma: a prospective observational study
BACKGROUND Continuous monitoring of central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) has been proposed as a prognostic indicator in several pathological conditions, including cardiac diseases, sepsis, trauma. To our knowledge, no studies have evaluated ScvO2 in polytraumatized patients with brain injury so far. Thus, the aim of the present study was to assess the prognostic role of ScvO2 monitoring dur...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of blood lactate and lactate clearance in trauma patients.
BACKGROUND Lactate has been shown to be a prognostic biomarker in trauma. Although lactate clearance has already been proposed as an intermediate endpoint in randomized trials, its precise role in trauma patients remains to be determined. METHODS Blood lactate levels and lactate clearance (LC) were calculated at admission and 2 and 4 h later in trauma patients. The association of initial bloo...
متن کاملOutcome after vascular trauma in a deployed military trauma system.
BACKGROUND Military injuries to named blood vessels are complex limb- and life-threatening wounds that pose significant difficulties in prehospital and surgical management. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive description of the epidemiology, treatment and outcome of vascular injury among service personnel deployed on operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. METHODS Data from the B...
