SCCM Resource Library-2023 Literature: Acute Care Surgery

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation highlights various studies in surgical care, organized by topics such as acute appendicitis, biliary disease, coagulation, and hernia. Notable findings include non-operative management of appendicitis showing fewer short-term complications, and laparoscopic exploration for bile duct stones potentially reducing hospital stays. A wait-and-see approach for elder patients with bileduct stones showed low risk of future biliary events. A study found no difference in bleeding complications for patients on traditional anticoagulants versus DOACs during emergency surgeries. Moreover, an AI-based risk calculator improved surgical outcomes assessments. The value of BMI-adjusted Lovenox dosing for VTE prophylaxis in surgery patients was explored but proved inadequate. Additionally, non-operative hernia management led to increased emergent repairs. Studies prompted AI-driven perioperative planning and stressed the importance of early diagnosis in post-op complications. Finally, robotic acute care surgery implementation showed promising results, emphasizing the need for well-integrated, stakeholder-driven programs.
