TL;DR: In this article, the effectiveness and safety of transfusing patients with severe trauma and major bleeding using plasma, platelets, and red blood cells in a 1:1:1 ratio compared with a 1 :1:2 ratio was evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lactate Clearance and Survival Following Injury
David Abramson,Thomas M. Scalea,Robyn Hitchcock,Stanley Z. Trooskin,Sharon Henry,Joshua Greenspan +5 more
TL;DR: Evaluating 76 consecutive patients with multiple trauma admitted directly to the ICU from the operating room or emergency department found the time needed to normalize serum lactate levels is an important prognostic factor for survival in severely injured patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST): results from an international consensus conference.
Thomas M. Scalea,Aurelio Rodriguez,William C. Chiu,Brenneman Fd,Fallon Wf,Kato K,McKenney Mg,Nerlich Ml,Ochsner Mg,Yoshii H +9 more
TL;DR: An international panel of experts was assembled to develop consensus recommendations on selected important issues on the use of ultrasonography (US) in trauma care and fostered an international sharing of ideas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood transfusion, independent of shock severity, is associated with worse outcome in trauma.
Debra L. Malone,James R. Dunne,J. Kathleen Tracy,A. Tyler Putnam,Thomas M. Scalea,Lena M. Napolitano +5 more
TL;DR: Blood transfusion is confirmed as an independent predictor of mortality, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, ICU LOS, and hospital LOS in trauma after controlling for severity of shock by admission base deficit, lactate, shock index, and anemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
