Journal ArticleDOI
A multicenter, prospective, controlled clinical trial of surgical stabilization of rib fractures in patients with severe, nonflail fracture patterns (Chest Wall Injury Society NONFLAIL)
Fredric M. Pieracci,Kiara Leasia,Zach Bauman,Evert A. Eriksson,Lawrence Lottenberg,Sarah Majercik,Ledford Powell,Babak Sarani,Gregory Semon,Bradley W Thomas,Frank Zhao,Cornelius Dyke,Andrew R. Doben +12 more
TL;DR: In this clinical trial, SSRF performed within 72 hours improved the primary outcome of NPS at two week follow up among patients with ≥ 3 displaced fractures in the absence of flail chest, and these data support a role for SSRF in patients without flailchest.
Journal ArticleDOI
A double-blind, randomized controlled trial of gabapentin vs. placebo for acute pain management in critically ill patients with rib fractures.
Eliza E. Moskowitz,Lucin Garabedian,Kimberly A. Hardin,Emily Perkins-Pride,Menilik Asfaw,Candice Preslaski,Kiara Leasia,Ryan A. Lawless,Clay Cothren Burlew,Fredric M. Pieracci +9 more
TL;DR: In this group of critically ill patients with rib fractures, gabapentin did not improve acute outcomes for up to one month of treatment, and no benefit was observed when adding gabAPentin to a multi-modal analgesic regimen for rib fractures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcome after surgical stabilization of rib fractures versus nonoperative treatment in patients with multiple rib fractures and moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (CWIS-TBI).
Jonne T.H. Prins,Esther M.M. Van Lieshout,Francis Ali-Osman,Zachary M. Bauman,Eva Corina Caragounis,Jeff Choi,D. Benjamin Christie,Peter A. Cole,William B. DeVoe,Andrew R Doben,Evert A.

Wijffels +32 more
TL;DR: In patients with multiple rib fractures and TBI, the mechanical ventilation-free days did not differ between the two treatment groups, and a potential role for SSRF was suggested in select patients with TBI.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Sequential Clinical Assessment of Respiratory Function (SCARF) score: A dynamic pulmonary physiologic score that predicts adverse outcomes in critically ill rib fracture patients.
Kimberly S Hardin,Kiara Leasia,James B. Haenel,Ernest E. Moore,Clay Cothren Burlew,Fredric M. Pieracci +5 more
TL;DR: The SCARF score may be used to guide therapies for critically ill rib fracture patients, with a proposed threshold of > 2, and was associated with utilization of pain control therapies and development of adverse outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Metabolopathy of Tissue Injury, Hemorrhagic Shock, and Resuscitation in a Rat Model.
Anne L. Slaughter,Geoffrey R. Nunns,Angelo D'Alessandro,Anirban Banerjee,Kirk C. Hansen,Ernest E. Moore,Ernest E. Moore,Christopher C. Silliman,Christopher C. Silliman,Travis Nemkov,Hunter B. Moore,Miguel Fragoso,Miguel Fragoso,Kiara Leasia,Erik D. Peltz +14 more
TL;DR: The differential metabolic changes resulting from TI alone and TI/HS provide foundation for future investigations severe injury in humans, where TI and HS are often concurrent.
