Clinical Implications of Over- and Under-Triage Using Need for Trauma Intervention and Cribari Indices

The American surgeon
Background Need for Trauma Intervention (NFTI) score was proposed to help identify injured trauma patients while minimizing under (UT) and over triage (OT). Using a national database, we aimed to describe UT and OT of NFTI vs standard Cribari method (CM)

Psychological consequences of blunt head trauma and relation to other indices of severity of injury

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1989
To investigate the relationship between APACHE II, Injury Severity Score (ISS), Glasgow Coma Score (GCS), and behavioral outcome, a group of 39 patients who had been admitted on an emergency basis with a traumatic head injury were selected from the Neuropsychology Registry for study.

PROPHYLACTIC VENA CAVA FILTER INSERTION IN SEVERELY INJURED TRAUMA PATIENTS

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1993
Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a significant problem in trauma patients. A 5-year review at this institution revealed 25 PEs (seven fatal) in 2525 admitted trauma patients (1% incidence). Three groups of high-risk patients were identified: (1) those with severe head injury and coma; (2) those with spinal cord injuries with neurologic deficit; and (3 ...

Principles of treatment and indications for surgery in severe multiple trauma.

Acta chirurgica Belgica, 1985
Despite major advances, pitfalls in diagnosis and emergency treatment influence the survival chances of multitraumatized patients considerably. Diagnosis of traumatic shock cannot be made by blood pressure, pulse rate and shock index. Immediate shock therapy is indicated in all cases with severe trauma of two body regions, combined injury of one body ...
