SCCM Resource Library-Surgery Year in Review: Trauma and Burns

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This summary highlights key points from the video transcript of a presentation on trauma and burns at the 51st Critical Care Congress. The first study discussed the impact of COVID-19 on injury outcomes, finding that COVID-positive patients had increased hospital death, complications, and pulmonary issues. Another study showed changes in injury mechanisms during the pandemic, with a higher incidence of penetrating and violence-related injuries. The American College of Surgeons formed a group to address violence and recommended adopting trauma-informed care, integrating social care, investing in at-risk communities, and advocacy. The survey of American College of Surgeons members revealed broad support for policies to decrease firearm injuries and deaths. The presentation also explored studies on blood resuscitation, including the potential benefits of low titer O whole blood and TXA (tranexamic acid) in trauma resuscitation. Other topics covered included the use of Roboa (resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta), the accuracy of FAST exams in pelvic fractures, the impact of a dedicated trauma hybrid OR, mass casualty event preparedness, and burn resuscitation practices.
