Major Extremity Injuries Associated with Farmyard Accidents
BACKGROUND The aim of the study is to analyze the major agricultural injuries related to the extremities. PATIENTS We evaluated a 3-year period including 41 patients. Data on age, sex, injury patterns, anatomical localizations, injury season, length of stay in the hospital, and infections were evaluated, and the patients were examined with SF-36 in the follow-up period. RESULTS Hand was the...
متن کاملBlood transfusion for lower extremity bypass is associated with increased wound infection and graft thrombosis.
BACKGROUND Packed RBC transfusion has been postulated to increase morbidity and mortality after cardiac/general surgical operations, but its effects after lower extremity bypass (LEB) have not been studied extensively. STUDY DESIGN Using the Vascular Study Group of New England's database (2003-2010), we examined 1,880 consecutive infrainguinal LEB performed for critical limb ischemia. Periope...
متن کاملExtremity war injuries: current management and research priorities.
The United States Armed Forces have been engaged in combat operations for more than 10 years. Not enough can be said about nor enough gratitude expressed to our troops for their commitment and sacrifice during this period. This supplement to the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons is dedicated to the men and women of the United States Armed Services and to their families and...
متن کاملHigh transfusion ratios are not associated with increased complication rates in patients with severe extremity injuries.
BACKGROUND High transfusion ratios of plasma to packed red blood cells (>1:2) have been associated with increased survival and increased complications in patients receiving massive transfusion (MT). We hypothesized that high ratio transfusion would be associated with no survival benefit and increased complications in combat victims with compressible hemorrhage. METHODS A retrospective analysi...
متن کاملPrevention of infections associated with combat-related extremity injuries.
During combat operations, extremities continue to be the most common sites of injury with associated high rates of infectious complications. Overall, ∼ 15% of patients with extremity injuries develop osteomyelitis, and ∼ 17% of those infections relapse or recur. The bacteria infecting these wounds have included multidrug-resistant bacteria such as Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa...
