VTE prophylaxis is more than just some squeezy leg socks and a one-size fits all dose of enoxaparin! Ever wonder how VTE prophylaxis is similar to constipation? Have you or a loved one been hurt by a hospital administrator telling you that VTE is a never event? Come with us, and our special guest Dr. Bryan Cotton, on this journey to the frontier of research attempting to debunk this myth and improve patient care by reducing VTE rates in trauma patients. Hosts: - Michael Cobler-Lichter, MD, PGY4/R2: University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center @mdcobler (X/twitter) - Eva Urrechaga, MD, PGY-8, Vascular Surgery Fellow University of Pennsylvania Recent graduate of University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center General Surgery Residency @urrechisme (X/twitter) - Eugenia Kwon, MD, Trauma/Surgical Critical Care Attending: Loma Linda University Recent graduate of University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center Trauma/CC Fellowship - Brandon Parker, DO, Assistant Professor of Surgery, 5 years in practice University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center @BrandonParkerDO (X/twitter) - Bryan Cotton, MD, MPH, FACS, Professor of Surgery, 20 years in practice University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston/Red Duke Trauma Institute at Memorial Herman Hospital @bryanacotton1 (X/twitter) Learning Objectives: - Describe the rationale for the addition of aspirin to chemoprophylactic regimens for VTE - Identify appropriate screening systems for trauma patients at high risk for VTE - Describe the rationale for monitoring anti factor Xa levels in the trauma population receiving VTE chemoprophylaxis - List the major conclusions of the two studies discussed regarding the addition of aspirin to VTE chemoprophylaxis regimens in trauma patients, and the change in antithrombin activity levels over time in relation to enoxaparin responsiveness in polytrauma patients Quick Hits: 1. On adjusted analysis, the standard VTE PPX plus aspirin group had a lower OR of developing VTE, though limitations of this study highlight need for future prospective work 2. Trauma patients often suffer from decreased activity of antithrombin 3, which may mediate the relatively higher rates of VTE in this population. 3. Trauma patients who went on to develop VTE were more likely to not achieve satisfactory anti Xa levels, with a VTE rate of 30% in the never-responder group, the group for which Xa levels were never higher than 0.2 4. Ex vivo supplementation of antithrombin seems to improve enoxaparin responsiveness. Remember, enoxaparin and heparin are HELPING AT3, not the other way around References 1.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was introduced approximately 30 years ago and quickly became the gold standard due to multiple benefits over open cholecystectomy. It ushered in the laparoscopic revolution but also increased the number of bile duct injuries. Through the dedicated efforts of many the rate of bile duct injury has been reduced, now mirroring open cholecystectomy. The robotic surgery revolution is well underway and unsurprisingly this technology has been applied to cholecystectomy. Given the devastating nature of bile duct injury and the history of increased injury with the last major shift in operative approach, we examine the current literature on the comparative safety of robotic-assisted cholecystectomy vs. laparoscopic cholecystectomy. 1.

Paul Herman, UW General Surgery Resident PGY-3, @paul_herm 5. Ben Vierra, UW General Surgery Resident PGY-2 @benvierra95 Learning objectives: 1. Examine the history of the laparoscopic cholecystectomy and review the efforts to reduce bile duct injury (SAGES Safe Cholecystectomy Task Force and Multi-Society Practice Guideline) 2. Review literature on causes and prevention of bile duct injury 3. Review a recent article on robotic cholecystectomy vs laparoscopic cholecystectomy outcomes 4.

With the increasing popularity of artificial intelligence, its uses are quickly becoming not only a part of everyday life, but also training in surgery. Those of us without much understanding of the technology might be intimidated by this nebulous topic, or worry that we won't be able to comprehend the advancements to come to the field. Luckily, we're joined by a leading expert in the use of AI in surgery, Dr. Dan Hashimoto. He breaks down some examples of how AI is being used in surgical education, the role surgeons should play in these advancements, and some tips for how we can critically appraise work in the field of AI if we don't understand the technology ourselves. Join hosts Nicole Brooks, MD, Judith French, PhD and Jeremy Lipman, MD, MHPE for this exciting conversation. Learning Objectives 1. Listeners will describe how AI is being applied to surgical education. 2. Listeners will identify the roles surgeons without training in AI can play in developing the use of AI in surgery. 3. Listeners will explain the regulatory and ethical considerations that must be addressed with the implementation of AI in surgical education. 4. Listeners will consider principles for critically evaluating research or technology in AI for application or use in their own educational or surgical practice.

Andrew Gabrielson, MD (@urogabe) is currently a resident at the Brady Urological Institute and Department of Urology at Johns Hopkins. He is a budding pediatric urologist and developed an interest in surgical ergonomics and physical well-being before he started residency. He is an integral member of the Society of Surgical Ergonomics and well-published in the field despite his young age! He gives us lots of practical knowledge for the operating room (how to stand, how to set up your room, gel pads and shoes!) and a framework for incorporating ergonomics as a thought process to enhance our physical well-being as surgeons. In addition, he talks about his experience and how following an interest piqued during undergraduate and medical school turned into a passion for the remainder of his professional life! Enjoy!

In this episode, Dr. Elliot Richards, a true physician-scientist and Director of Research in the Department of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the Cleveland Clinic, shares about his experience and studies regarding uterine transplant. --- EARN CME Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn free AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs: https://earnc.me/jcX2MH --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Richards describes uterine transplant in the modern era as truly “patient-driven” and due to “patient-demand.” He begins the episode by detailing the history of uterine transplant, which was initially attempted in the 1930s, even before the first successful renal transplant 20 years later. More recently, successful uterine transplants were first conducted in Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Turkey, and now in a few United States institutions (e.g. Cleveland Clinic, University of Alabama at Birmingham, University of Pennsylvania, and Baylor). He then addresses arguments or concerns against uterine transplant. Ultimately, Dr. Richards encourages listeners to identify infertility as a disease and one that warrants treatment, prompting the use of uterine transplant. The physicians then discuss the process of uterine transplant. In current trials, the majority of patients are people with a diagnosis of mullein agenesis. Dr. Richards highlights that this population does not reflect the actual population that suffers from absolute uterine factor infertility (AUFI) and that he hopes that access to the procedure will expand for a more diverse patient population. He then describes the types of uterine donors (e.g., directed donor, non-director donor, deceased donor model, etc.) that are utilized by different institutions; the surgical process of the transplant itself; immunosuppression and pregnancy; as well as fertilization via IVF. The episode ends with Dr. Richards discussing success rates by citing his prior studies, which includes a 74% 1-year graft survival and 83% live birth rate among those with a viable graft at 1 year. Specifically within the Cleveland Clinic study population, one patient delivered the first second baby last September. Future directions regarding uterine transplant include better understanding the costs of the procedure, shortage of available donors, identifying the true demand, leveraging minimally invasive surgical techniques, and fallopian tube preservation. --- RESOURCES “The Danish Girl” 2015 film directed by Tim Hooper “Uterus Transplant Animation Recipient” by Cleveland Clinic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13DwQ0HbuXc “Cleveland Clinic Delivers Second Baby from Uterus Transplant” by Cleveland Clinic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJuedpL14AQ Lefkowitz A, Edwards M, Balayla J.

Die WHO warnt seit mehr als 20 Jahren vor einem weltweiten Problem. Allein in Deutschland gelten zwei Drittel der Männer und die Hälfte der Frauen als übergewichtig oder sogar adipös. Je mehr Kilos, desto größer ist das Risiko für gravierende Folgeerkrankungen: Fettleber, Diabetes Typ 2, Krebs. Was kann die Medizin tun, wenn Abnehmen mit Ernährungsumstellung nicht gelingt? Wissenschaftsjournalistin Nele Rößler hat zu neuen Forschungsansätzen recherchiert und mit einer Betroffenen gesprochen.

Die WHO warnt seit mehr als 20 Jahren vor einem weltweiten Problem. Allein in Deutschland gelten zwei Drittel der Männer und die Hälfte der Frauen als übergewichtig oder sogar adipös. Je mehr Kilos, desto größer ist das Risiko für gravierende Folgeerkrankungen: Fettleber, Diabetes Typ 2, Krebs. Was kann die Medizin tun, wenn Abnehmen mit Ernährungsumstellung nicht gelingt? Wissenschaftsjournalistin Nele Rößler hat zu neuen Forschungsansätzen recherchiert und mit einer Betroffenen gesprochen. Im Gespräch mit Host Maja Bahtijarević erklärt sie, inwiefern Hormone der Schlüssel zu sein scheinen, welche Rolle der Grundumsatz des Körpers spielt und warum manche Adipositas-Forscher geradezu euphorisch über neue Medikamente sprechen.

In this episode, Drs. Amy Park and Mark Hoffman welcome Dr. Angela Chaudhari, Chief of Gynecology and Gynecologic Surgery at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, to share her experience promoting a culture of physician wellness as the Director of the P2P Network for Physician Peer Support. --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Chaudhari discusses how her inspiration to advocate for physician wellness began when she herself was experiencing feelings of burnout. Initially an open ear for colleagues on an individual level, Dr. Chaudhari was later trained on the topic of wellness through the Scholars of Wellness Program and received her Organization Leadership and Coaching Certificate at Northwestern University. Dr. Chaudhari then explains that, through the program, volunteers from both medical and non-medical backgrounds are trained to provide support for those experiencing adverse events, “compassion fatigue,” and discriminatory patient experiences. In addition, peers are also available to provide feedback or education. Specific metrics for the program include retention, wellbeing scores, and culture surveys to identify “pain points'' within the Institution. Next, the doctors discuss the topic of “work-life integration,” rather than work-life balance, and how to promote this in your own practice. While acknowledging that it may be difficult to advocate for yourself and set boundaries early on in your career, the group emphasizes the role of mentorship and how this can empower trainees/learners to take action sooner rather than later. The episode ends with a discussion on creating culture in your workplace. The doctors express sentiments that maintaining an intentional, positive outlook and treating all colleagues with respect is a key aspect in promoting wellness. In addition, they encourage listeners to acknowledge difficult situations and to share personal experiences to further promote an environment of support and growth. --- RESOURCES Define Measure Analyze Improve Control (DMAIC) Process: https://asq.org/quality-resources/dmaic Stolarski A, Moseley JM, O'Neal P, Whang E, Kristo G.

Join this discussion of some of the recent literature surrounding EMS care of traumatic brain injury with Dr. Al Lulla. This is the perfect confluence of advancing evidence, relatively straightforward interventions, and a patient population where we can definitely improve prehospital outcomes. See where the literature, education, and protocol implementation can meet to improve TBI outcomes in your EMS service. REFERENCES 1. Spaite DW, Hu C, Bobrow BJ, et al.

On this episode of BackTable OBGYN, we introduce our co-host Dr. Amy Park, the Section Head of Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. She and Dr. Mark Hoffman raise awareness about the importance of surgeon ergonomics in preventing work-related musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries and optimizing career longevity. --- EARN CME Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs: https://earnc.me/vpfOUm --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Park, a co-founder of the Society of Surgical Ergonomics, begins the episode by sharing her personal experience with a work-related shoulder injury and how it inspired her to prioritize surgeon ergonomics in her daily practice. She and Dr. Hoffman then encourage listeners to acknowledge the role of optimizing factors such as table height, body posture, and more in order to maximize the longevity of a surgeon's career and thus patient care. The co-hosts then cover pitfalls commonly identified in normal, open surgery (e.g. excessive neck flexion, truncal deviation, arm abduction) and laparoscopic surgery (e.g. body posture, monitor height). They transition to highlight possible resolutions to these pitfalls, including anti-fatigue mats, appropriate footwear, and proper posturing; ultimately addressing a need for further research in this aspect of medicine. Lastly, they cover the role of robotic surgery and the potential to either mitigate or worsen the risk for work-related MSK injuries. The episode wraps up with a call to bring awareness to the value of surgeon ergonomics and to proactively impart this knowledge onto trainees, as the overall goal for surgeons is likely to continue operating and impacting patient care. --- RESOURCES Epstein S, Sparer EH, Tran BN, et al.

In a continuing series focused on vascular surgery, host Rick Greene, MD, FACS, talks to vascular surgeon Marie L. Crandall MD, MPH, FACS, about venous thromboembolism. Dr. Crandall is Professor and Associate Chair, Research; Chief, Division of Acute Care Surgery; Program Director, General Surgery Residency, Department of Surgery, University of Florida Jacksonville. *Addendum from Dr. Crandall: “The timing of VTE prophylaxis after neurosurgical intervention for TBI can be challenging. However, this JAMA Surg retrospective cohort study demonstrated that prophylaxis before 72hrs was associated with greater risk of reintervention and mortality and after 72 hours was associated with greater risk of VTE but not mortality. This suggests that perhaps 3 days would be safest balance for most patients after neurosurgical intervention for TBI.” Learn more about Selected Readings in General Surgery, an American College of Surgeons publication that highlights highly relevant and practice-changing information from the world's most prominent medical journals. #SurgicalReadings

The mortality rate for unstable pelvic hemorrhage due to blunt trauma remains around 30 percent. However, technological advances promise to finally make a dent. But on the cutting edge, it's not clear which treatments should be used when to maximize lives saved. With life-threatening pelvic exsanguination, time is critical. Do you know when to rush to pack the pelvis? Do you know when to deploy a REBOA instead? Are there scenarios where you should do both? Join Drs. Urréchaga, Neeman, and Rattan from Ryder Trauma Center in Miami as they try to tease out answers using two studies hot off the presses with seemingly contradictory results. Learning Objectives: Blunt Pelvic Hemorrhage · Expanding knowledge of management strategies for blunt pelvic hemorrhage · Describe propensity score matching and its use in non-randomized studies · Compare outcomes of REBOA and preperitoneal pelvic packing (PPP) · Critically appraise study design and methods of studies References 1.

Writing Group for the CODA Collaborative. Patient factors associated with appendectomy within 30 days of initiating antibiotic treatment for appendicitis. JAMA Surg 2022 Jan 12; [e-pub]. Now, investigators have explored in a secondary analysis of The CODA Collaborative. A randomized trial comparing antibiotics with appendectomy for appendicitis. N Engl J Med 2020 Oct 5; [e-pub]. (data from a previous randomized antibiotics-versus-surgery trial (NEJM JW Gen Med Dec 1 2020 and N Engl J Med 2020; 383:1907). Have looke at the data to see could we predict factors that make you more likely to appendectomy and fail antibiotic therapy. They identified 735 patients who had been randomized to antibiotic treatment; 154 (21%) of these patients underwent appendectomy within 30 days. Overall, 29% of patients in the antibiotics group underwent appendectomy within 90 days (41% of those with appendicolith vs. 25% without). The authors suggest hey maybe this appendicolith is the magic answer of who will fail therapy—maybe!! BUT remember this is secondary analysis so this is only hypothesis generating even a secondary analysis of a rct is just hypothesis. You need a new RCT to actually show causation. Also as stated in the editorialists note that in subsequent analyses of this same data set, nearly 50% of patients underwent appendectomy within 2 years, regardless of the presence of an appendicolith, so an initial nonsurgical approach might only delay surgery. Some say 50% still going to surgery is terrible but I say even if 50% prevented from having surgery that is still 50% of people are being prevented from a surgery Acetazolamide to Prevent Adverse Altitude Effects in COPD and Healthy Adults | NEJM Evidence Trial 1 was a randomized, double-blind, parallel-design trial in which 176 patients with COPD were treated with acetazolamide capsules (375 mg/day) or placebo- COPD patients had oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry of 92% or greater primary outcome in trial 1 was the incidence of the composite end point of altitude-related adverse health effects (ARAHE)== Criteria for ARAHE included acute mountain sickness (AMS) and symptoms or findings relevant to well-being and safety, such as severe hypoxemia, requiring intervention. In trial 1 of patients with COPD, 68 of 90 (76%) receiving placebo and 42 of 86 (49%) receiving acetazolamide experienced ARAHEThe number needed to treat (NNT) to prevent one case of ARAHE was 4EVEN at NNT of 4 you have to realize that still 50% of those with COPD required intervention to go back down to lower level. Trial 2 comprised 345 healthy lowlanders.The primary outcome in trial 2 was the incidence of acute mountain sickness AMS assessed at 3100 m by the Lake Louise questionnaire score (the scale of self-assessed symptoms ranges from 0 to 15 points, indicating absent to severe, with 3 or more points including headache, indicating acute mountain sickness AMS).In trial 2 of healthy individuals, 54 of 170 (32%) receiving placebo and 38 of 175 (22%) receiving acetazolamide experienced acute mountain sickness AMS The NNT to prevent one case of acute mountain sickness AMS was 10 (95% CI, 5 to 141).So use the acetazolamide still 1 in 5 individuals experience acute mountain sickness Annals for Hospitalists Inpatient Notes - Clinical Pearls—Stopping, Starting, and Optimizing Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy in Patients Hospitalized for Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction | Annals of Internal Medicine (acpjournals.org) Treat with??Foundational medical therapy for HFrEF consists of comprehensive disease-modifying quadruple medical therapy, including angiotensin receptor–neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs), β-blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (1). Quadruple medical therapy is estimated to cumulatively reduce the relative risk for death by 73% over 2 years, with a number needed to treat of 3.9 to save 1 life compared with traditional therapy using an ACEI and a β-blocker, treating a 55-year-old patient with comprehensive disease-modifying quadruple therapy projects to increase life expectancy by more than 6 years Approximately 1 in 4 patients hospitalized for worsening HFrEF die or are rehospitalized within 30 days of discharge --- Deferring in-hospital initiation is consistently associated with medications never being initiated in the outpatient setting, or initiated after substantial delaySTART THEM IN THE HOSPITAL-- There is no evidence to suggest that “go slow,” “one medication change at a time,” or “defer to outpatient” approaches improve medication tolerance or accomplish anything beneficial If you mix a bunch of moon pies in a trash can you get what sounds like a great time but if you mix a bunch of cow pies in a trash can you just get poop Clearly seen in this next article Vitamin D supplementation for the treatment of migraine: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies - ClinicalKey meta-analysis aims to explore the efficacy of vitamin D for migraine patients. Six RCTs and 301 patients were included in the meta-analysis. On average these people were having around 7 migraines per months and compared to control the vit d group decrease headache days by about 1.5 per month compared to placebo or UC So you say vit d works for something!!Not so fast Remember I would like a 25 yr old cut my hair by not 5 five year olds…. Sadly these studies were 5 yr olds UC could be nothing. Well vit d beating nothing isn't hard, we know placebo is real Even beating placebo isn't hard when it is open label or you are not blinded to the active arm. If I say, yes you are getting this drug vit d that will help your headaches you are going to believe it much more than if I just give you a pamphlet. The authors in the discussion state “Higher vitamin D levels is associated with lower risk of migraine “ Well ya that is true but having a higher vitamin d level is also associated with going outside more. And going outside more is associated with no having a migraine. High vit d level is amazing!! I love it but replacing it still seems to do nothing however if you want a high level and want to go outside and get a high level then I think that is a great idea and speaking of great ideas— Here is a sad but enlightening article— Home pregnancy test use and timing of pregnancy confirmation among people seeking health care - ClinicalKey The researchers found that 74% of survey respondents took a home pregnancy test as the first step in confirming a suspected pregnancy; Respondents who took home pregnancy tests confirmed pregnancy 10 days earlier than those who first tested at a clinic. (duh statements- if you test at home you find out sooner, this is so obvious an a no brainer--- BUT Confirmation of pregnancy at greater than 7 weeks' gestational age was higher among adolescents, Latina versus white women, food-insecure versus -secure women, and people with unplanned pregnancies. Those that did not test at home cited concerns about test accuracy (42%) and difficulties accessing one (26%). While overall 1/5 21% confirmed pregnancy at ≥7 weeks gestation, confirmation at ≥7 weeks was higher among adolescents versus young adults (47%!! vs 13%, p = 0.001), Latina versus white women (28% vs 11%, p = 0.02), food insecure versus secure women (28% vs 17%, p = 0.06), and people with unplanned versus planned/mistimed pregnancies (25% vs 13%, p = 0.07). Latina and food insecure women discover their pregnancy at the same time or rate as individuals with unplanned pregnancy!!! one in 5 confirm pregnancy at 7 weeks gestation or later and in those Latina, poor, or unplanned It is ¼ at >7weeks this obviously effects prenatal care and Gestational bans in the first trimester will disproportionately prevent young people, people of color, and those living with food insecurity from being able to access abortion.This is tough but it is this data that reminds me and should remind us that life is not equal and healthcare is not equal and certain populations and groups do need our help more than others.
During this episode of the Pursuit of Health Podcast we pick up on our topic of Infertility as a Health Concern with a remarkably accomplished guest physician, Dr. Chrissy Guidry. After years of medical and surgical training in Louisiana, Ohio and California, she is now the Medical Director of the Emergency General Surgery & Advanced Trauma Life Support Service at Tulane Medical Center and the Associate Program Director of General Surgery at Tulane University. As an Assistant Professor of Surgery at Tulane School of Medicine she serves as a mentor and advocate for many young student physicians. Amongst her many accomplishments and innumerable services on professional committees, she has recently added a focus on addressing Female Infertility Amongst Physicians. She explains that she has been carrying out this effort in collaboration with the American Medical Women's Association (AMWA) who has recently made a concerted effort to bring this issue out to the public and the medical profession. This began with an AMWA-sponsored Physician Fertility Summit at which Dr. Guidry was amongst the many guest physician leaders and speakers shedding light on this little discussed topic. During our visit with Dr. Guidry, she bravely shared with our audience her own personal issues regarding infertility so that others may know that they are not alone. She explains that Female Infertility amongst physicians is 3-4 times higher than the general population and that much research is needed to understand both the causes of this medical condition and how to best prevent and treat it. Dr. Guidry reveals many of the obstacles, biases and misconceptions regarding infertility and family planning amongst physicians. She stressed that this is an issue that can seriously affect women physicians and their families. She advocates for early awareness of this issue amongst those she mentors and her colleagues. Together, Dr. Fethke and Dr, Guidry agree that physicians wishing to have children are more well-rounded and healthy people when they are able to do so, thus improving their professional and personal lives. Through organizations like AMWA and RESOLVE, Dr Guidry is optimistic that the issue of Physician Infertility is now out in the open. She strongly believes that physicians have a unique platform to address this issue for themselves and the public at large in order to improve awareness and access to infertility-related medical care. She looks forward to a day when physicians can study and practice in environments that are supportive and proactive for all physicians who are in need of evaluating their fertility as a significant component of their physical and psychosocial health. Dr. Guidry poinantly finishes our fascinating and emotional discussion by emphasizing, “ It is time for this discussion to be out in the open so people know they are not alone.” Finally, Dr. Guidry wants everyone to be aware of the upcoming AMWA and RESOLVE sponsored three seminars occurring in February through April 2022 entitled Moving the Fertility Conversation Forward.

5 years of General Surgery residency? Check. Case numbers? Check. Ready for independent practice? Hmmm. Join Drs. John D. Mellinger, Jeremy Lipman, Judith French, and Amy Han as we discuss the past, present and future of operative assessment. Learning objectives: In this episode, we discuss the current practices of operative assessment in surgical training and the opportunities for improvement. We delve into evidence-based framework for operative performance assessment outlined in “A Proposed Blueprint for Operative Performance Training, Assessment, and Certification.” We explore the distinction between high versus low frequency operations, standards setting, training of assessors, and the role of technology in improving reliability, generalizability, and frequency of operative assessments.

Join Drs. Ashlie Nadler, Jordan Nantais and Graham Skelhorne-Gross as they tackle Cancer Emergencies. Case 1 - Learning Points: These are complex patients and multidisciplinary care should be provided with input from oncology. A step-up approach should be used, starting with medical management prior to considering surgery in appropriate patients. Highly selected patients may benefit from surgery, namely those with a high performance status, a prognosis of months if the bowel obstruction was resolved, minimal carcinomatosis, and a single transition point. Diversion, bypass, or resection are all options, but a patient's capacity to heal related to recent systemic therapy needs to be taken into account. Consent for surgery should focus on goals of care, quality of life, and achievable outcomes, and highlight the inherent risk in patients with advanced disease and a limited lifespan. Case 2 - Learning Points: Colorectal malignancy is an exceedingly common cause of general surgical emergency and requires a thoughtful, systematic approach The role of stenting as a bridge to surgery in obstructing distal colon malignancy is somewhat controversial but can help to avoid permanent stomas; however there is some potential risk of perforation and possibly disease recurrence Treatment decisions should take place in the context of an informed discussion with the patient and consideration of both quantity and quality of life whenever possible Consistent involvement of a multidisciplinary team, including radiology, enterostomal therapy, and surgical oncology can be extremely useful in guiding complex decisions References: Shariff F, Bogach J, Guidolin K, Nadler A.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBhEjYhVoZk Goggin K et al. Reductions in parent interest in receiving antibiotics following a 90-second video intervention in outpatient pediatric clinics. J Pediatr 2020 Jun 15; [e-pub]. (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpeds.2020.06.027) acute respiratory tract illnesses (ARTIs; cough, congestion, sore throat, and earache) is a PROBLEM with a capital P. or maybe I should say its a pain in the A with a capital A and that A of course is referring to antibiotics-- parents want antibiotics, sometimes demand antibiotics and no matter what you say, its hard to say no time and time and time again and eventually EVERYONE and yes I mean everyone will eventually give an antibiotic when they in their heart of heart knows it is likely not indicated. BUT what if we could educate our pts before we walked in the room. In this study they surveyed 1051 parents about their knowledge of and interest in receiving antibiotics for their children. Surveys were conducted before and after parents watched a professionally created 90-second cartoon-- I dont have access to the cartoon but I didnt find a two minute cartoon on youtube and it is the in the show notes-- just go to details of this podcast! how do you get to the details?? if you are listening to this podcast on apple you click the little dots in the lower right hand corner, click go to show, then it goes to this show and click on details and BAM its magic all the information about this show. and ths me there is a listener named paul and I wont give the last name but you emailed me about an article and for the life of me I can’t find that article back so please re email me andrewbuelt@gmail.com back to the study in this survey Parents rated their interest in receiving an antibiotic using a visual analogue scale ranging from 0-100, with 0 being “I definitely do not want an antibiotic,” 50 “Neutral,” and 100 “I absolutely want an antibiotic.” at baseline average score was 57 and it reduced down to 47 BUT if you were one of the parents that scored much higher say a mean around 83 which is geting close to the 100 “I absolutely want an antibiotic.” your score dropped down to 63 which is much closer to neutral!! This gives you a chance to not write antibiotics if not needed- i dont take care of kids 1-5 but if I did EVERY parent would be watching this video or it would be on repeat for the education videos. last episode I talked about breast cancer screening and the age old saying is when it rains it pours which is clearly seen in this paper Le Blanc JM et al. Association of Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act with breast cancer stage at diagnosis. JAMA Surg 2020 Jul 1; [e-pub]. (https://doi.org/10.1001/jamasurg.2020.1495) Affordable Care Act (ACA) went into full effect in early 2014. luckily for us as of 2018, 37 states, including the District of Columbia had adopted Medicaid expansion and 14 had not. this is prime time to look to see what happens when all of a sudden these women have insurance and can get mammograms! Ideally we should see a burst of new early cancers that then prevent all these really aggressive late cancers!! riiiiiight?? in this retrospective cohort analysis they looked at Stage at diagnosis was compared between patients who were uninsured, had Medicaid or Medicare, or were privately covered during the preexpansion years (2012-2013) and postexpansion years (2015-2016) Stage at diagnosis (early [stage 0 or 1] vs. late [stage 3 or 4]) was assessed by state and insurance status for pre-expansion years (2012–2013) compared with postexpansion years (2015–2016). “Between 2007 and 2012, the percentage of late-stage cancer was around 12% for those that were insurance or had medicaid”- this makes sense if you have insurance all things being equal all states should have pretty equal rates of breast cancer BUT Patients with late-stage cancer who were uninsured in nonexpansion states exhibited a 1 percentage–point non significant decline from 24.2% to 23.5% (P = .14), whereas patients with late-stage cancer who were uninsured or had Medicaid in the expansion states saw a significant decrease from 21.8% to 19.3% (P 10 and roughly 1 in 10 were started on thyroid therapy with TSH in normal range. Sometimes I really get worried how do you know that hip pain is osteoarthritis and not a strangulated inguinal hernia Does this patient have hip osteoarthritis?: The rational clinical examination systematic review Metcalfe D, Perry DC, Claireaux HA, et al. JAMA. 2019;322(23):2323-2333. doi: 10.1001/jama.2019.19413. Let’s say your patient has hip or groin pain. How do you know if it’s osteoarthritis (OA)? results in the end Six studies with 1,110 patients; 509 (38%) had radiographic hip OA. The following features were found to be useful: Squat causing posterior pain (likelihood ratio [LR] +6.1) Groin pain on passive adduction or abduction (LR +5.7) to rule out OA is normal passive hip adduction (LR –0.25) while these are not high LR ratios over 10 that we would hope for, if you combine a couple of them together they can work synergistically to give you a higher likelihood ratio and more secure diagnosis.

For our first episode of 2020, we investigate claims related to the application of cricoid pressure. Claim 1. Cricoid pressure reduces the risk of pulmonary aspiration. Claim 2. Landmark technique is able to accurately identify the cricoid cartilage. Claim 3. Cricoid pressure should be routinely applied in all rapid-sequence intubations. Our guest today is Dr. Jerome Crowley, an adult cardiothoracic anesthesiologist and intensivist at the Massachusetts General Hospital.

Contributor: Jared Scott, MD Educational Pearls In a 4 yr period at 2 hospital systems, unprofessional behavior of surgeons was monitored via a complaint system. Number of complaints was compared with surgical complications. In 13000 patients over this period, the number of surgical complications was found to vary with the number of complaints. Surgeons with with zero complaints had a 10% complication rate, 1-3 complaints had a 14% rate, and those with >4 and an 11.9% rate. There was statistical significance that persisted after adjustment for a variety of patient factors It never hurts to be professional! References Cooper WO, Spain DA, Guillamondegui O, et al.

So as promised, and following on from our previous shock episode, this time we've covered the topic of shock in Trauma. It's a massive topic and one that we all, yet again, can make a huge difference for our patients' outcomes. There is some crossover as you'd expect from the concepts and assessment that we covered in our Shock episode, so we'd recommend taking a listen to that one first. Make sure you have a comfy seat and plenty of refreshments to keep you going for this one as we cover the following; Definition Aetiology Hypovolaemic shock Neurogenic shock Obstructive shock Cardiogenic shock Physiology; Traumatic coagulopathy Other diagnostics Controlling external haemorrhage Pelvic binders REBOA Avoiding coagulopathy BP targets & permissive hypotension Fluid choices & supporting evidence TEG/ROTEM Calcium TXA Vasopressors Preventing hypothermia Relieving obstruction Interventional radiology Damage control surgery As always we’d love to hear any thoughts or comments you have on the website and via twitter, and make sure you take a look at the references and guidelines linked below to draw your own conclusions.

Nacio en una familia de pocos recursos en la ciudad de Boston y tuvo poca educación formal. Sin embargo, se hizo rico con un exitoso negocio de impresión en Filadelfia. Fue un participante muy activo en los asuntos públicos en Filadelfia, donde ayudó a lanzar una biblioteca, un hospital y una universidad (la Universidad de Pensilvania), y fue aclamado, entre otros proyectos, por sus experimentos con electricidad. Durante la Revolución Americana, sirvió en el Segundo Congreso Continental y ayudó a redactar la Declaración de Independencia en 1776. También negoció el Tratado de París de 1783 que puso fin a la Guerra de la Independencia (1775-83). En 1787, en su último acto significativo de servicio público, fue delegado a la convención que produjo la Constitución de los Estados Unidos. Como inventor ideo el pararayos, los lentes bifocales, y el catéter urinario flexible.

We've heard a lot about advanced airway management recently, with some really significant publications over the last few months and in the last few weeks in JAMA we've had another! Cricoid pressure during emergency anaesthesia and for those at high risk of aspiration has been common place for more than half a century. But it's a topic that has caused quite some debate. On one hand it has the potential to reduce aspiration, a very real and potentially very serious complication of RSI. But on the other it has the potential to hinder the view on laryngoscopy and decrease first pass success. The founding evidence for cricoid pressure has always been a little soft. In this podcast we look at the background of cricoid pressure and then run through this key paper, discussing the implications it holds for both pre and in-hospital advanced airway management. As always we'd love to hear any thoughts or comments you have on the website and via twitter, we look forward to hearing from you. Enjoy!

Three-Year Outcomes of Bariatric Surgery vs Lifestyle Intervention for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Treatment: A Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA Surg. 2015 Jul 1
Un estudio publicado el 20 de septiembre 2017 en la revista Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) sugiere que el transporte en ambulancia terrestre no está asociado a un aumento en sobrevivencia, y que el transporte en vehículo privado puede inclusive disminuir la mortalidad de pacientes de trauma penetrante. El dogma de mover a la víctima. Los cursos de primeros auxilios recomiendan a la ciudadanía a no mover a las víctimas hasta que no llegue la ayuda con el objetivo de que no se empeore su situación actual. Es importante recordar que la incidencia de fracturas inestables de la columna cervical luego de trauma penetrante es sumamente baja. En este estudio se demostró que solamente 0.4% de los pacientes con herida por arma de fuego al cuello tenían una lesión inestable de columna. Todos los pacientes que tenían lesión inestable tenían signos neurológicos. Esto es parte de la razón por la cual no se inmovilizan los pacientes con trauma penetrante que no tengan signos neurológicos. En este episodio anterior del ECCpodcast hablamos de cuándo NO es necesario inmovilizar al paciente de trauma. Objetivo: Controlar el sangrado El objetivo del manejo del paciente con una lesión penetrante es controlar el sangrado en primera instancia. En segunda instancia, sería no permitir que se forme un shock obstructivo o un compartimiento por el aumento en la presión (pleura, pericardio, o intracranial). El sangrado en una extremidad puede ser fácilmente tratado en la escena con un torniquete. Sin embargo, el sangrado interno posiblemente requiera una cirugía para poderlo controlar. El determinante de cuánta sangre se pierde en el paciente con trauma penetrante es qué tan rápido puede aplicarse el torniquete, o realizar la cirugía. Para realizar la cirugía hacen falta varias cosas: El paciente fue transportado lo antes posible desde la escena al hospital. El hospital seleccionado fue el apropiado. El equipo de cirugía estaba preparado para intervenir. El estudio demostró que transportar el paciente de trauma penetrante en un vehículo privado no aumenta la mortalidad pues se está contribuyendo al objetivo. Pero esto es cierto solo si el paciente es transportado al hospital apropiado. Hospital apropiado Una de las características de los centros de trauma es que tienen un equipo disponible 24/7 para recibir, e intervenir, al paciente de trauma. Si usted transporta a un paciente de trauma a un centro de trauma, es probable que el sistema esté listo para recibirlo y atenderlo apropiadamente. No obstante, un aviso previo no está mal. Alertar al equipo de trauma de que un paciente críticamente lesionado va de camino es una forma de mejorar el tiempo y la calidad de la respuesta si el equipo se prepara. Esto plantea un problema en el estudio. En un escenario urbano es posible que algunas ciudades cuenten con múltiples centros de trauma, pero muchas no. Si el paciente es transportado simplemente al hospital "más cercano", es posible que se esté retrasando el cuidado definitivo y esto es detrimental para el paciente de trauma. En este episodio del ECCpodcast hablamos sobre cómo seleccionar el hospital apropiado. Por lo tanto, las conclusiones de este estudio, si es que pudieran ser generalizables, solamente aplican en el contexto de un sistema urbano donde es más probable que el paciente sea transportado a un centro de trauma capaz. En teoría el sistema de emergencias médicas debe tener controles para evitar que este tipo de paciente vaya al "hospital más cercano", y vaya de inicio al lugar correcto: el centro de trauma nivel 1 (o nivel 2). Otra limitación del estudio El otro aspecto a considerar de este estudio es que solo se evaluaron los pacientes que fueron transportados inicialmente a un centro de trauma nivel 1 ó 2. En la escala del Colegio Americano de Cirujanos, el nivel 1 es el nivel más alto (con más capacidad de atención médica inmediata). Por lo tanto, si se incluyen también los pacientes que fueron transportados a otros hospitales (que no son centros de trauma), es posible que haya una diferencia. No cambie la práctica pero considere oportunidades Por el momento todo sigue igual. Las ambulancias van a ser despachadas para los pacientes con trauma penetrante, los paramédicos deben controlar los sangreados externos y transportar a los pacientes con sangrado interno al hospital mas cercano que pueda corregir el problema. Esto es lo que enseña el curso Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS). Pero considere cómo podemos proveer más oportunidades al educar a otros primeros respondedores, como los policías, quienes en muchas ocasiones recurren a transportar al paciente en su vehículo o patrulla debido a que la ambulancia no puede llegar de inmediato.
