Demographic and geographical characteristics of pediatric trauma in Scotland.
(2013-07)BACKGROUND: Trauma systems reduce mortality and improve functional outcomes. The aim of this study was to analyse the demographic and geospatial characteristics of pediatric trauma patients in Scotland, and determine the ... -
Fibrinolysis and antifibrinolytic treatment in the trauma patient.
(2018-04)PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The role of antifibrinolytics in trauma haemorrhage and early coagulopathy remains controversial with respect to patient selection, dosage, timing of treatment, and risk of thrombotic complications. This ... -
iTACTIC - implementing Treatment Algorithms for the Correction of Trauma-Induced Coagulopathy: study protocol for a multicentre, randomised controlled trial.
(2017-10-18)BACKGROUND: Traumatic injury is the fourth leading cause of death globally. Half of all trauma deaths are due to bleeding and most of these will occur within 6 h of injury. Haemorrhagic shock following injury has been shown ... -
Modeling Acute Traumatic Hemorrhagic Shock Injury: Challenges and Guidelines for Preclinical Studies.
(2017-12)Trauma is responsible for a large proportion of the world's burden of disease, and is by far the biggest killer of young adults. Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death and its effects are directly correlated ... -
Outcomes following trauma laparotomy for hypotensive trauma patients: A UK military and civilian perspective.
(2018-09)BACKGROUND: The management of trauma patients has changed radically in the last decade, and studies have shown overall improvements in survival. However, reduction in mortality for the many may obscure a lack of progress ... -
Transfusion strategies for major haemorrhage in trauma.
(2019-02)Trauma is a leading cause of death worldwide in persons under 44 years of age, and uncontrolled haemorrhage is the most common preventable cause of death in this patient group. The transfusion management of trauma haemorrhage ... -
Traumatic coagulopathy in the older patient: analysis of coagulation profiles from the Activation of Coagulation and Inflammation in Trauma-2 (ACIT-2) observational, multicenter study.
(2023-02)BACKGROUND: Most studies describing traumatic coagulopathy have used data from patient cohorts with an average age of between 35 and 45 years. The last 10 years has seen a steep increase in the number of patients admitted ... -
Trends in admission timing and mechanism of injury can be used to improve general surgical trauma training.
(Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2020-01-01)INTRODUCTION: The temporal patterns and unit-based distributions of trauma patients requiring surgical intervention are poorly described in the UK. We describe the distribution of trauma patients in the UK and assess whether ... -
What's new for trauma haemorrhage management?
(2019-05-02)Uncontrolled haemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death from injury and is a major contributor to the global burden of disease. The majority of deaths resulting from bleeding occur within the first 3 hours of ...
