Resuscitative thoracotomy [PDF]
BJA Education, 2020 A trauma patient with cardiac tamponade may not survive transfer to the operating theatre for pericardial decompression. This article describes an approach to a resuscitative thoracotomy in the ED, which may be life-saving in these patients when a cardiothoracic surgeon is not immediately available.

Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2021 Thoracotomy is considered one of the most painful operative procedures. Due to anatomical complexity, post-thoracotomy pain requires multimodal perioperative treatment to adequately manage to ensure proper postoperative recovery.

International Journal of Surgery, 2016 Resuscitative thoracotomy is often performed on trauma patients with thoracoabdominal penetrating or blunt injuries arriving in cardiac arrest. The goal of this procedure is to immediately restore cardiac output and to control major hemorrhage within the thorax and abdominal cavity.

Apical axillary thoracotomy [PDF]
Operative Techniques in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2003 1 Because of the limited exposure provided by apical axillary thoracotomy, double lumen intubation is strongly recommended when working through this incision. The patient is positioned in a lateral decubitus with the ipsilateral axilla exposed. This position can be accomplished by abducting the shoulder at or just above 90 degrees and flexing the elbow

Estimation of causal effects of multiple treatments in healthcare database studies with rare outcomes [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The preponderance of large-scale healthcare databases provide abundant opportunities for comparative effectiveness research. Evidence necessary to making informed treatment decisions often relies on comparing effectiveness of multiple treatment options on outcomes of interest observed in a small number of individuals.

Needle Thoracotomy in Trauma [PDF]
Military Medicine, 2015 Tension pneumothorax is one of the leading causes of preventable death in trauma patients. Needle thoracotomy (NT) is the currently accepted first-line intervention but has not been well validated. In this review, we have critically discussed the evidence for NT procedure, re-examined the recommendations by the Advanced Trauma Life Support organization

The Estimation of Causal Effects of Multiple Treatments in Observational Studies Using Bayesian Additive Regression Trees [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 There is currently a dearth of appropriate methods to estimate the causal effects of multiple treatments when the outcome is binary. For such settings, we propose the use of nonparametric Bayesian modeling, Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART). We conduct an extensive simulation study to compare BART to several existing, propensity score-based ...

Esophagectomy without thoracotomy
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1978 Blunt esophagectomy without thoracotomy has been performed in 26 patients: four with benign disease and 22 with carcinomas involving various levels of the esophagus (10 cervicothoracic, one upper third, five middle third, and six distal third). Continuity of the alimentary tract was restored by anastomosing the pharynx or cervical esophagus either to ...
