Mortality From Rural Traumatic Brain Injury Are Underestimated Without Inclusion of Prehospital Deaths

open access: yesANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Rural residents are more likely to suffer moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and experience delay to definitive care than urban patients. Prior studies comparing these populations were based on hospitalised patients only. We examined TBI outcomes incorporating pre‐hospital mortality to determine the association between

Impact of Gentamicin‐Impregnated Collagen Sponge on the Incidence of Access Related Infections After Full‐Support Microaxial Flow Pump Therapy

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Local application of gentamicin for wound closure after full‐support microaxial flow pump therapy. ABSTRACT Background Surgically implanted microaxial flow pumps (mAFP) are increasingly used for cardiogenic shock treatment. Standard mAFP explantation is performed bedside with a shortening of the vascular prosthesis, which may represent a potential ...

Comparison of Intraoperative Doppler Flow Measurements and Algorithmic Flow Estimations in Patients Undergoing Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Direct intraoperative HeartMate 3 LVAD flow measurements using an ultrasonic probe revealed consistently higher values by approximately 0.5 L/min compared to device‐estimated flows. This discrepancy remained stable across pump speed settings, highlighting the importance of distinguishing measured from estimated flow in HeartMate 3 patients.

Anticoagulation Strategies in Adults Undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
In this meta‐analysis of 2 775 adult ECMO patients from non‐randomized studies, direct thrombin inhibitors and low‐molecular‐weight heparins demonstrated a favorable efficacy and safety profile over unfractionated heparin. These findings suggest them to be effective alternatives to unfractionated heparin, underscoring the urgent need for randomized ...

Cerebral Oxygen Saturation During Less‐Invasive Surfactant Administration Using a High‐Pressure CPAP Respiratory Support Delivery Room Protocol—A Cohort Study

open access: yesActa Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To describe changes in peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and regional cerebral oxygenation (rcSO2) during less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) in a high‐level continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) respiratory support delivery room protocol in very low birth weight infants (VLBW).
