The Journal of surgical research, 302, 621-627.More infoThe management of injuries to the iliac artery presents a challenging clinical scenario due to the impeded anatomical access. Obesity is a common comorbid condition known to affect the outcomes of trauma patients; however, there is a paucity of data on the association of obesity with the treatment and outcomes of iliac artery injuries. The aim of this study was to assess the association between body mass index (BMI) on the management and outcomes of patients with iliac artery injuries.

The impact of post-operative enteral nutrition on duodenal injury outcomes: A post hoc analysis of an EAST multicenter trial. The journal of trauma and acute care surgery.More infoLeak following surgical repair of traumatic duodenal injuries results in prolonged hospitalization and oftentimes nil per os(NPO) treatment. Parenteral nutrition(PN) has known morbidity; however, duodenal leak(DL) patients often have complex injuries and hospital courses resulting in barriers to enteral nutrition(EN). We hypothesized EN alone would be associated with 1)shorter duration until leak closure and 2)less infectious complications and shorter hospital length of stay(HLOS) compared to PN.

FINDING THE SWEET SPOT: THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN WHOLE BLOOD TO RED BLOOD CELLS RATIO AND OUTCOMES OF HEMORRHAGING CIVILIAN TRAUMA PATIENTS. Shock (Augusta, Ga.), 62(3), 344-350.More infoPurpose: To evaluate the dose-dependent effect of whole blood (WB) on the outcomes of civilian trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock. Methods: We performed a 2-year (2020-2021) retrospective analysis of the ACS-TQIP dataset. Adult (≥18) trauma patients with a shock index (SI) >1 who received at least 5 units of PRBC and one unit of WB within the first 4 h of admission were included. Primary outcomes were 6-h, 24-h, and in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes were major complications and hospital and intensive care unit length of stay. Results: A total of 830 trauma patients with a mean (SD) age of 38 (16) were identified. The median [IQR] 4-h WB and PRBC requirements were 2 [2-4] U and 10 [7-15] U, respectively, with a median WB:RBC ratio of 0.2 [0.1-0.3]. Every 0.1 increase in WB:RBC ratio was associated with decreased odds of 24-h mortality (aOR: 0.916, P = 0.035) and in-hospital mortality (aOR: 0.878, P < 0.001). Youden's index identified 0.25 (1 U of WB for every 4 U of PRBC) as the optimal WB:PRBC ratio to reduce 24-h mortality. High ratio (≥0.25) group had lower adjusted odds of 24-h mortality (aOR: 0.678, P = 0.021) and in-hospital mortality (aOR: 0.618, P < 0.001) compared to the low ratio group. Conclusions: A higher WB:PRBC ratio was associated with improved early and late mortality in trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock. Given the availability of WB in trauma centers across the United States, at least one unit of WB for every 4 units of packed red blood cells may be administered to improve the survival of hemorrhaging civilian trauma patients.

Outcomes among trauma patients with duodenal leak following primary versus complex repair of duodenal injuries: An Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma multicenter trial. The journal of trauma and acute care surgery, 95(1), 151-159.More infoDuodenal leak is a feared complication of repair, and innovative complex repairs with adjunctive measures (CRAM) were developed to decrease both leak occurrence and severity when leaks occur. Data on the association of CRAM and duodenal leak are sparse, and its impact on duodenal leak outcomes is nonexistent. We hypothesized that primary repair alone (PRA) would be associated with decreased duodenal leak rates; however, CRAM would be associated with improved recovery and outcomes when leaks do occur.

The journal of trauma and acute care surgery.More infoThe United States-Mexico border is the busiest land crossing in the world and faces continuously increasing numbers of undocumented border crossers. Significant barriers to crossing are present in many regions of the border, including walls, bridges, rivers, canals, and the desert, each with unique features that can cause traumatic injury. The number of patients injured attempting to cross the border is also increasing, but significant knowledge gaps regarding these injuries and their impacts remain. The purpose of this scoping literature review is to describe the current state of trauma related to the US-Mexico border to draw attention to the problem, identify knowledge gaps in the existing literature, and introduce the creation of a consortium made up of representatives from border trauma centers in the Southwestern United States, the Border Region Doing Research on Trauma (BRDR-T) Consortium. Consortium members will collaborate to produce multicenter, up-to-date data on the medical impact of the US-Mexico border, helping to elucidate the true magnitude of the problem and shed light on the impact cross-border trauma has on migrants, their families, and the United States healthcare system. Only once the problem is fully described can meaningful solutions be provided.
