Journal ArticleDOI
Geriatric blunt multiple trauma: improved survival with early invasive monitoring
Thomas M. Scalea,Howard M. Simon,Albert O. Duncan,Nabil Atweh,Salvatore J. A. Sclafani,Thomas F. Phillips,Gerald W. Shaftan +6 more
TL;DR: In 1986, invasive monitoring was began in all patients with any of these risk factors and modified this in 1987 to emergent monitoring, postponing all but the most critical diagnostic studies and reducing time to monitoring to 2.2 hours by limiting diagnostic tests.
Journal Article
Percutaneous transcatheter embolization for massive bleeding from pelvic fractures.
Thomas F. Panetta,Salvatore J. A. Sclafani,Alan S. Goldstein,Thomas F. Phillips,Gerald W. Shaftan +4 more
TL;DR: The effectiveness of transcatheter embolization was studied prospectively from January 1977 through July 1984 in 31 patients with extensive pelvic fractures, hypotension, and large retroperitoneal hematomas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early open reduction and internal fixation of the disrupted pelvic ring.
Alan S. Goldstein,Thomas F. Phillips,Salvatore J. A. Sclafani,Thomas M. Scalea,Albert O. Duncan,J Goldstein,Thomas F. Panetta,Gerald W. Shaftan +7 more
TL;DR: Modification of the technique has avoided this complication in the latter part of this series and early open reduction and internal fixation of extremity fractures in patients with multiple injuries has be safe, improve survival, and decrease the incidence of respiratory failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcome of massive transfusion exceeding two blood volumes in trauma and emergency surgery.
TL;DR: The 77% mortality among patients who developed coagulopathy, and the inability to predict in advance which patients will develop serious clinical bleeding, argue strongly in favor of an aggressive approach toward prophylaxis in these patients in spite of the theoretical risk of disease transmission from the additional units of platelets and frozen plasma required.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vertebral artery injury--diagnosis and management.
Peter J. Golueke,Salvatore J. A. Sclafani,Thomas F. Phillips,Alan S. Goldstein,Thomas M. Scalea,Albert O. Duncan +5 more
TL;DR: The experience of 23 patients with vertebral artery injuries caused by 19 gunshot wounds, two stab wounds, one shotgun wound, and one blunt injury is reviewed, concluding that angiography is necessary in penetrating neck trauma to identify occult vascular injuries.
