Hypothermic coagulopathy in trauma: effect of varying levels of hypothermia on enzyme speed, platelet function, and fibrinolytic activity

TL;DR: Analysis by multivariate analysis of variance of the relationship between coagulation and temperature demonstrated that in hypothermic trauma patients, 34 degrees C was the critical point at which enzyme activity slowed significantly, and at which significant alteration in platelet activity was seen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advanced trauma life support, 8th edition, the evidence for change.

TL;DR: The 8th edition of ATLS has been revised following broad input by the International ATLS subcommittee and grades levels of evidence were used to evaluate and approve changes to the course content.
Journal ArticleDOI

Usefulness of Thrombelastography in Assessment of Trauma Patient Coagulation

TL;DR: Logistic regression of ISS, Revised Trauma Score, prothrombin time/partial thromboplastin time, and TEG on use/nonuse of blood products within the first 24 hours demonstrates that only ISS and T EG are predictive of early transfusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differences in mortality between elderly and younger adult trauma patients: geriatric status increases risk of delayed death.

TL;DR: Predictive models of survival can be developed, taking into account preexisting disease and complications as well as admission parameters such as age, ISS, and RTS, and specific risk of mortality quantitated.
Journal ArticleDOI

A survey of surgical simulation: applications, technology, and education

TL;DR: A survey of current surgical simulator systems is conducted, the components of a simulator are described, current research directions are discussed, and key research questions are identified.
