Journal ArticleDOI

Blunt splenic injury in adults: Multi-institutional Study of the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma.

TL;DR: Successful nonoperative management was associated with higher blood pressure and hematocrit, and less severe injury based on ISS, Glasgow Coma Scale, grade of splenic injury, and quantity of hemoperitoneum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Management of traumatic lung injury: a Western Trauma Association Multicenter review.

Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI

Immune responses of splenectomized trauma patients to the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine at 1 versus 7 versus 14 days after splenectomy.

TL;DR: Better functional antibody responses against the serogroup and serotypes studied seemed to occur with delayed (14-day) vaccination, and postvaccination functional antibody activity was significantly lower.
