Damage Control Hematology: The Impact of a Trauma Exsanguination Protocol on Survival and Blood Product Utilization
Bryan A. Cotton,Bryan A. Cotton,Oliver L. Gunter,James M. Isbell,Brigham K. Au,Amy M. Robertson,John A. Morris,Paul St. Jacques,Pampee P. Young,Pampee P. Young +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that an exsanguination protocol, delivered in an aggressive and predefined manner, significantly reduces the odds of mortality as well as overall blood product consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predefined massive transfusion protocols are associated with a reduction in organ failure and postinjury complications.
Bryan A. Cotton,Brigham K. Au,Timothy C. Nunez,Oliver L. Gunter,Amy M. Robertson,Pampee P. Young +5 more
TL;DR: Although MT has been associated with higher organ failure and complication rates, this risk appears to be reduced when blood products are delivered early in the resuscitation through a predefined protocol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimizing outcomes in damage control resuscitation: identifying blood product ratios associated with improved survival.
Oliver L. Gunter,Brigham K. Au,James M. Isbell,Nathan T. Mowery,Pampee P. Young,Pampee P. Young,Bryan A. Cotton,Bryan A. Cotton +7 more
TL;DR: Increased FFP:RBC and PLT:PRBC ratios during a period of massive transfusion improved survival after major trauma and should be designed to achieve these ratios to provide maximal benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Practice management guidelines for management of hemothorax and occult pneumothorax.
Nathan T. Mowery,Oliver L. Gunter,Bryan R. Collier,Joseʼ J. Diaz,Elliott R. Haut,Amy N. Hildreth,Michelle Holevar,John C. Mayberry,Erik W. Streib +8 more
TL;DR: Thoracic trauma is a notable cause of morbidity and mortality in American trauma centers, where 25% of traumatic deaths are related to injuries sustained within the thoracic cage.
Journal ArticleDOI
The management of the open abdomen in trauma and emergency general surgery: part 1-damage control.
Jose J. Diaz,Daniel C. Cullinane,William D. Dutton,Rebecca N Jerome,Richard Bagdonas,Jarolslaw O. Bilaniuk,Bryan R. Collier,John J. Como,John Cumming,Maggie Griffen,Oliver L. Gunter,John P. Kirby,Larry Lottenburg,Nathan T. Mowery,William P. Riordan,Niels D. Martin,Jon Platz,Nicole A. Stassen,Eleanor S. Winston +18 more
TL;DR: The open abdomen technique remains a heroic maneuver in the care of the critically ill trauma or surgical patient, but for the best outcomes, a protocol for the indications, temporary abdominal closure, staged abdominal reconstruction, and nutrition support should be in place.
