Use of whole blood deployment programs for mass casualty incidents: South Texas experience in regional response and preparedness
CONCLUSION Multiple studies have shown the association of early blood product resuscitation and improved mortality, with WB being the ideal resuscitative product for many. The ongoing efforts in South Texas serve as a model for development of similar programs throughout the country to reduce preventable deaths. This event represents the first ever successful deployment of WB to the site of an MCI related to a school shooting in the modern era. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic/Care Management; Level V.

Noninvasive assessment of intracranial pressure using subharmonic-aided pressure estimation: An experimental study in canines
CONCLUSION SHCEUS parameters are correlated with ICP. The SHAPE technique can assist in evaluating ICP changes in canines, which provides a new idea and method for evaluating ICP. (Source: The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care)

Acute kidney injury development in polytrauma and the safety of early repeated contrast studies: A retrospective cohort study
BACKGROUND The role of repeat intravenous contrast doses beyond initial contrast imaging in the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) for multiple injury patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) is not fully understood. We hypothesized that additional contrast doses are potentially modifiable risk factors for worse outcomes. METHODS An 8-year retrospective study of our institutional prospective postinjury multiple organ failure database was performed. Adult ICU admissions that survived>72 hours with Injury Severity Score (ISS) of>15 were included. Patients were grouped based on number of repeat cont...

Identifying vulnerable populations with symptomatic cholelithiasis at risk for increased health care utilization
CONCLUSION Non-Hispanic Black patients experienced higher utilization of health care resources for SC after adjusting for other patient, geographic and hospital variables. Strategies to mitigate these disparities may include the development of standardized protocols regarding the follow-up and education for SC. Implementation of such strategies can ensure equitable treatment for all patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic and Epidemiological; Level III.

Assessment of left ventricle myocardial deformation in a hemorrhagic shock swine model by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography
BACKGROUND Trauma-induced secondary cardiac injury has been associated with significant adverse cardiovascular events. Speckle tracking echocardiography is a novel technology that allows an accurate and reproducible cardiac structure and function assessment. We evaluated the left ventricle (LV) myocardial deformation by speckle tracking echocardiography in a hemorrhagic shock (HS) swine model. METHODS Seven healthy male Landrace pigs were included in this study. Severe HS was reached through three sequentially blood withdraws of 20% of estimated blood volume, and it was maintained for 60 minutes. Volume resuscit...

Epidemiology and outcomes of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome following pediatric trauma
CONCLUSION Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome occurs more frequently following pediatric trauma than previously reported and is associated with high risk of morbidity and mortality. Based on existing literature using identical methodology, both the prevalence and mortality associated with MODS are higher among trauma patients than the general PICU population. Consideration of early organ dysfunction in addition to injury severity may aid prognostication following pediatric trauma. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic and Epidemiological; Level III.

Using a real-time ABCDEF compliance tool to understand the role of bundle elements in mortality and delirium
CONCLUSION Maximum daily ABC-123 score is associated with reduced mortality and delirium in critically injured patients, while mobility is associated with dramatic reduction in mortality. B and D subscores have the strongest positive effects on both mortality and delirium. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic/Care Management; Level III.

Diagnosis and management of bile leaks after severe liver injury: A Trauma Association of Canada multicenter study
BACKGROUND Optimal management of bile leaks (BLs) after severe liver injury is unknown. Study objectives were to define current practices in diagnosis and management of BL to determine which patients may benefit from endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). METHODS American Association for the Surgery of Trauma grade ≥III liver injuries from 10 North American trauma centers were included in this retrospective study (February 2011 to January 2021). Groups were defined as patients who developed BL versus those who did not. Subgroup analysis of BL patients was performed by management strategy. Bivar...
