Journal ArticleDOI
The immunomodulatory effects of hypertonic saline resuscitation in patients sustaining traumatic hemorrhagic shock : A randomized, controlled, double-blinded trial
Sandro Rizoli,Shawn G. Rhind,Pang N. Shek,Kenji Inaba,Dennis Filips,Homer Tien,Fred Brenneman,Ori D. Rotstein +7 more
TL;DR: This first human trial evaluating the immunologic/anti-inflammatory effects of hypertonic resuscitation in trauma patients demonstrates that HSD promotes a more balanced inflammatory response to hemorrhagic shock, raising the possibility that similar to experimental models, HSD might also attenuate post-trauma MOD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normal range values for thromboelastography in healthy adult volunteers
Sandro Scarpelini,Shawn G. Rhind,Bartolomeu Nascimento,Homer Tien,Pang Shek,Henry T. Peng,H. Huang,Ruxandra Pinto,V. Speers,Marciano Reis,Sandro Rizoli +10 more
TL;DR: This study supports the manufacturer's recommendation that each institution should determine its own normal values before adopting TEG, a procedure which may be impractical and should be given to a multi-institutional study to establish wide standard values for TEG.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormal Coagulation Tests Are Associated With Progression of Traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage
Christopher B. Allard,Sandro Scarpelini,Shawn G. Rhind,Andrew J. Baker,Pang N. Shek,Homer Tien,Michael Fernando,Lorraine N. Tremblay,Laurie J. Morrison,Ruxandra Pinto,Sandro Rizoli +10 more
TL;DR: An association between coagulopathy, diagnosed by routine laboratorial tests in the first 24 hours, with ICH progression; and I CH progression with mortality in patients with severe TBI is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of a fixed-ratio (1:1:1) transfusion protocol versus laboratory-results–guided transfusion in patients with severe trauma: a randomized feasibility trial
Bartolomeu Nascimento,Jeannie Callum,Homer Tien,Gordon D. Rubenfeld,Ruxandra Pinto,Yulia Lin,Sandro Rizoli +6 more
TL;DR: The fixed-ratio transfusion protocol was feasible in this study, but it was associated with increased plasma wastage and larger randomized trials are needed to evaluate the efficacy of such a protocol in trauma care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Traumatic Abdominal Wall Hernia: Epidemiology and Clinical Implications
Fernando A. C. Spencer Netto,Paul Hamilton,Sandro Rizoli,Bartolomeu Nascimento,Frederick D. Brenneman,Homer Tien,Lorraine N. Tremblay +6 more
TL;DR: First, the mechanism of injury should be considered when deciding if a patient with a TAWH needs an urgent laparotomy, and second, Clinically apparent anterior T AWHs appear to have a high rate of associated injuries requiring urgent Laparotomy.
