Cheadle,Pamela A. Lipsett,Christopher A. Guidry,Kimberley A. Popovsky +25 more
TL;DR: In patients with intraabdominal infections who had undergone an adequate source-control procedure, the outcomes after fixed-duration antibiotic therapy were similar to those after a longer course of antibiotics that extended until after the resolution of physiological abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Penetrating colon injuries requiring resection: Diversion or primary anastomosis? An AAST prospective multicenter study
Demetrios Demetriades,James Murray,Linda Chan,Carlos A. Ordoñez,Douglas M. Bowley,Kimberly K. Nagy,Edward E. Cornwell,George C. Velmahos,Nestor Muñoz,Costas Hatzitheofilou,C. W. Schwab,Aurelio Rodriguez,Carol Cornejo,Kimberly A. Davis,Nicholas Namias,David H. Wisner,Rao R. Ivatury,Ernest E. Moore,Jose A. Acosta,Kimball I. Maull,Michael H. Thomason,David A. Spain +21 more
TL;DR: The surgical method of colon management after resection for penetrating trauma does not affect the incidence of abdominal complications, irrespective of associated risk factors, and primary anastomosis should be considered in all such patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mark G. McKenney,Larry Martin,Kimberley Lentz,Cristina Lopez,Danny Sleeman,George Aristide,Orlando C. Kirton,Diego Nunez,Rony Najjar,Nicholas Namias,J. L. Sosa +10 more
TL;DR: Emergency ultrasound may be used as the initial diagnostic modality for suspected blunt abdominal trauma, evaluated in the initial assessment of BAT in 1000 patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carl I. Schulman,Nicholas Namias,James C. Doherty,Ronald J. Manning,Pamela Li,Ahmed El-Haddad,David Lasko,Jose Amortegui,Christopher J. Dy,Lucie Dlugasch,Gio J. Baracco,Stephen M. Cohn +11 more
TL;DR: Aggressively treating fever in critically ill patients may lead to a higher mortality rate, and the study was stopped after the first interim analysis due to the mortality difference.
Journal ArticleDOI

James S. Davis,Shevonne S. Satahoo,Frank K. Butler,Harrison Dermer,Daniel Naranjo,Katherina Julien,Robert M. Van Haren,Nicholas Namias,Lorne H. Blackbourne,Carl I. Schulman +9 more
TL;DR: More than one of every five trauma deaths in this study population had potentially survivable injuries, and chest injuries and death via hemorrhage were predominant and suggest targets for future research and implementation of novel prehospital interventions.
