Journal ArticleDOI
Resuscitation with hydroxyethyl starch improves renal function and lactate clearance in penetrating trauma in a randomized controlled study: the FIRST trial (Fluids in Resuscitation of Severe Trauma)
Michael F. M. James,W. L. Michell,Ivan Joubert,Andrew J. Nicol,Pradeep H. Navsaria,Rencia Gillespie +5 more
TL;DR: In penetrating trauma, HES provided significantly better lactate clearance and less renal injury than saline, and no firm conclusions could be drawn for blunt trauma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporary closure of open abdominal wounds by the modified sandwich–vacuum pack technique
TL;DR: A 5‐year experience with the modified sandwich–vacuum pack technique, using an opened 3‐litre urological irrigation bag and continuous high‐pressure suction, for temporary abdominal wall closure is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Packing for Control of Hemorrhage in Major Liver Trauma
TL;DR: The total duration of liver packing does not result in an increase in septic complications or bile leaks, and an early re-look at 24 h is associated with re-bleeding and does not lead to early removal of liver packs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indications for Use of Damage Control Surgery in Civilian Trauma Patients: A Content Analysis and Expert Appropriateness Rating Study
Derek J. Roberts,Niklas Bobrovitz,David A. Zygun,Chad G. Ball,Andrew W. Kirkpatrick,Peter Faris,Karim Brohi,Scott D'Amours,Timothy C. Fabian,Kenji Inaba,Ari Leppäniemi,Ernest E. Moore,Pradeep H. Navsaria,Andrew J. Nicol,Neil Parry,Henry T. Stelfox +15 more
TL;DR: This study identified a comprehensive list of candidate indications for use of DC surgery that provide a practical foundation to guide surgical practice while studies are conducted to evaluate their impact on patient care and outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thoracoscopic evacuation of retained posttraumatic hemothorax
TL;DR: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is an accurate, safe, and reliable operative therapy for retained posttraumatic pleural collections, even in patients presenting later than the conventionally accepted 3- to 5-day window from the time of injury.
