TL;DR: In this paper, a simple scoring system that allows an early and reliable estimation for the probability of mass transfusion (MT) as a surrogate for life threatening hemorrhage following multiple trauma was developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Therapeutic hypothermia revealed hints for tissue protective impact and might be a useful tool for intensive care after polytrauma, but the chosen length for therapeutichypothermia was too short.
Journal ArticleDOI
Management of pulmonary cement embolism after percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty: a systematic review of the literature
TL;DR: In cases of asymptomatic patients with peripheral PCE, it is recommended to proceed according to the guidelines regarding the treatment of thrombotic pulmonary embolisms, which includes initial heparinization and a following 6-month coumarin therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality in severely injured elderly trauma patients--when does age become a risk factor?
TL;DR: From age 56 years, mortality increased significantly in patients who sustained multiple trauma—an increase that was independent of trauma severity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Damage control orthopedics in patients with multiple injuries is effective, time saving, and safe.

TL;DR: DCO appears to provide a major reduction of operation time and blood loss in the primary treatment period in severely injured patients compared with h-ETC, and it is found that DCO is not associated with an increased rate of procedure-related complications.
