TL;DR: Preventable or potentially preventable deaths are rare but do occur at an academic Level I trauma center and delay in treatment and error in judgment are the leading causes of preventable and potentially Preventable deaths.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: SG is associated with significantly lower mortality and fewer blood transfusions, but there is a considerable risk of serious device-related complications, and a major and urgent need for improvement of the available endovascular devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of trauma center designation and trauma volume on outcome in specific severe injuries
TL;DR: Level I trauma centers have better outcomes than lower-level centers in patients with specific injuries associated with high mortality and poor functional outcomes, and the volume of major trauma admissions does not influence outcome in either level I or II centers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pelvic fractures: epidemiology and predictors of associated abdominal injuries and outcomes.
Demetrios Demetriades,Marios Karaiskakis,Konstantinos Toutouzas,Kathleen Alo,George C. Velmahos,Linda Chan +5 more
TL;DR: Some epidemiological variables are important risk factors of severity of pelvic fractures, presence of associated abdominal injuries, blood loss, and need of angiography that can help in selecting the most appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole body imaging in blunt multisystem trauma patients without obvious signs of injury: Results of a prospective study
Ali Salim,Burapat Sangthong,Matthew J. Martin,Carlos V.R. Brown,David Plurad,Demetrios Demetriades,James G. Tyburski,Tyler G. Hughes,J. Stephen Marshall,Karen J. Brasel,Richard L. Jamison,Baiba J. Grube +11 more
TL;DR: The use of pan scan based on mechanism in awake, evaluable patients is warranted, and Clinically significant abnormalities are not uncommon, resulting in a change in treatment in nearly 19% of patients.
