The Trauma Survivors Network (TSN), a program of the American Trauma Society (ATS), has a unique history spanning decades with a vision to continue expanding and strengthening services to support survivors and families impacted by traumatic injury. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the ATS has adapted TSN services to provide both virtual and in-person services for trauma survivors, increasing equity and inclusion for many survivors to access TSN services for the first time. The recent policy changes in the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma New Standards for Care of the Injured Patient provide an impetus for the TSN to grow and expand services in support of a diverse group of trauma survivors and their loved ones. This paper highlights the collateral impact of traumatic injury, the history and ongoing growth of the TSN and its services to date, the challenges encountered in establishing and maintaining the TSN program, and the equity and inclusion that the TSN offers internationally to support a diverse range of survivors with various forms of trauma and polytrauma.

Background: Patients with cervical spinal cord injuries (CSCIs) have a high incidence of respiratory complications. The effectiveness of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) in preventing respiratory complications such as pneumonia in acute CSCIs remains unclear. We evaluated whether intermittent NPPV (iNPPV) could prevent pneumonia in patients with acute CSCIs.
Methods: This single-center, retrospective study evaluated patients diagnosed with CSCIs with American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale scores of A-C between January 2012 and December 2022. Patients were categorized based on receipt of iNPPV into the iNPPV and usual care groups. Prophylactic iNPPV was defined as the initiation of iNPPV within 72 hours of admission. The primary outcome was the development of pneumonia. The secondary outcomes were other respiratory complications (tracheal intubation and tracheostomy) and adverse events (delirium and vomiting). The groups were compared with regard to outcomes after adjustment for patient backgrounds using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) with propensity scores.
Results: Of the 213 patients during the study period, 94 were included. Of these, 61 (64.9%) received prophylactic iNPPV. The incidence of pneumonia was 27.9% in the iNPPV group and 48.5% in the usual care group in the unadjusted cohort. In the propensity score analysis using IPTW, the iNPPV group showed a lower incidence of pneumonia than the usual care group (29.0% vs 56.5%, p<0.001). Tracheal intubation and tracheostomy were less common in the iNPPV group than those in the usual care group (10.6% vs 29%; p=0.001 and 10.6% vs 27.1%; p=0.003, respectively). The incidences of delirium and vomiting did not increase in the iNPPV group.
Conclusions: Prophylactic iNPPV was associated with a lower incidence of pneumonia in patients with acute CSCIs.
Level of evidence: Ⅳ.

<p><strong>Introduction: </strong>Pelvic fractures often result in life-threatening bleeding and hemodynamic instability. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) has emerged as a promising strategy for patients with severe pelvic fractures, facilitating subsequent hemostatic interventions. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is a well-established procedure for managing pelvic fractures accompanied by hemorrhage.Ideally, an angiographic access point distinct from the initial REBOA placement is sought to maintain REBOA deflation without complete removal, thereby preventing hemodynamic instability during the procedure. However, in cases of extreme and severe pelvic trauma, gaining access for REBOA is already challenging, not to mention the additional difficulty posed by subsequent angiographic access.This study aims to assess the challenges associated with gaining access in cases where successful TAE was ultimately performed, particularly in the context of severe pelvic trauma. We investigate the complexities surrounding access management and its implications for patient outcomes.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who presented with pelvic fractures and underwent sequential REBOA and TAE procedures at our institution between 2017 and 2023. We excluded patients with Abbreviated Injury Scores (AIS) ≥3 in systems other than the pelvis, those who underwent TAE prior to REBOA, and cases of suboptimal REBOA insertion.We collected demographic data, injury characteristics, details of the REBOA and TAE procedures, information on complications, and data on patient survival. The primary endpoints of our analysis included overall survival and the success of TAE (defined as post TAE mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥65 mm Hg).

Background: Bedside thoracic ultrasound (US) offers numerous advantages over chest X-ray (CXR) for identification of recurrent pneumothoraces (PTX) after tube thoracostomy (TT) removal. Technologic advancements have led to the development of hand-held devices capable of producing high-quality images termed ultra-portable US (UPUS). We hypothesized that UPUS would be as successful as CXR in detecting post-TT removal PTX and would be preferred by patients.
Methods: We conducted a single-center prospective, feasibility, study at a level I trauma center investigating the use of UPUS in patients with trauma with TT placement. UPUS images were obtained daily while the TT was in place and post-TT removal (ranging from 1 through 6 hours). A clinically concerning PTX on UPUS was defined as the absence of lung sliding on two or more intercostal spaces. Poststudy Likert surveys were administered to assess patient preferences.
Results: Ninety-two patients were included in the analysis. The majority were men (87%), and the median age was 47 years. Thirty-five patients (36%) had discordant imaging findings. There were 11 clinically concerning PTX, of which 10 (91%) were detected on UPUS and 8 (73%) on CXR. Three patients required an intervention for post-pull PTX, all of whom were identified on UPUS. Eighty-four percent (N=70) of surveyed patients preferred UPUS over CXR with 92% reporting no discomfort with UPUS compared with 49% with CXR.
Conclusion: Bedside UPUS is preferred by patients and can successfully identify clinically concerning post-TT removal PTX. Implementation of UPUS as a post-TT removal diagnostic tool is a safe and effective alternative to CXR.
Level of evidence: Level II, diagnostic tests or criteria.

Background: Morning postoperative labs are often obtained for emergency general surgery (EGS) patients. Studies in other surgical fields indicate that routine postoperative day 1 (POD1) labs are sometimes being performed excessively and do not require intervention. The purpose of this study is to identify predictors indicating the need for POD1 labs in EGS patients based on likelihood of intervention.
Methods: This is a retrospective review of non-critically ill EGS patients from 2022 to 2023 who received POD1 morning labs. The odds of having an abnormal result and likelihood of intervention were measured through multivariate logistic regression accounting for patient characteristics and procedure. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was performed to determine significant predictors of an abnormal result and intervention.
Results: 502 EGS patients were included. LASSO revealed that procedure duration, fever, lysis of adhesions, preoperative systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg, older age, heart failure, operative blood loss, chronic kidney disease, and anticoagulation use were independent predictors for any abnormal result (area under the receiver operation curve (AUC)=0.785). Independent predictors of intervention were procedure duration, older age, higher estimated blood loss (EBL), anticoagulant use, and lysis of adhesions (AUC=0.704). Procedures >400 min carried an 84.3% chance of an abnormal lab requiring intervention. EBL >200 mL carried a 75.5% chance of an abnormal lab requiring intervention.
Conclusion: POD1 labs for non-critically ill EGS patient rarely require intervention and can be safely omitted. Labs should be considered for longer procedures, higher EBLs, older patients, those on anticoagulation, or after lysis of adhesions.

Background: This study aims to compare outcomes of robotic cholecystectomy (RC) versus laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in the setting of a level 1 trauma center.
Methods: We performed a retrospective study of our hospital data (2021-2024) on patients who underwent LC or RC. Using a previously validated intraoperative grading system, four grades of cholecystitis were defined as mild (A), moderate (B), severe (C), and extreme (D). Outcomes were operative times and rates of conversion to open surgery.
Results: In total, 260 patients (n=130 RC and n=130 LC) were included. Patients were primarily female (69.2%), with mean age of 47±18.3 years. The majority of cases had grade B cholecystitis (41.2%). Patients undergoing RC had lower operative times compared with LC in grade B (101.87±17.54 vs 114.96±29.44 min, p=0.003) and grade C (134.68±26.97 vs 152.06±31.3 min, p=0.038). Conversion rate to open cholecystectomy were similar in both groups (p=0.19).
Conclusion: RC had similar results as LC in terms of operative time and in fact has significantly lower operative time in patients with grade B and grade C cholecystitis.
Level of evidence: Level III-retrospective study.
背景:本研究旨在比较机器人胆囊切除术(RC)与腹腔镜胆囊切除术(LC)在一级创伤中心的效果。方法:我们对我院(2021-2024)接受LC或RC的患者进行了回顾性研究。使用先前验证的术中分级系统,将胆囊炎分为轻度(a)、中度(B)、重度(C)和重度(D)四个级别。结果是手术时间和转向开放手术的比率。结果:共纳入260例(n=130例RC和n=130例LC)。患者以女性为主(69.2%),平均年龄47±18.3岁。多数病例为B级胆囊炎(41.2%)。与LC相比,RC患者在B级(101.87±17.54 vs 114.96±29.44 min, p=0.003)和C级(134.68±26.97 vs 152.06±31.3 min, p=0.038)的手术时间更短。两组转开腹胆囊切除术的发生率相似(p=0.19)。结论:RC与LC在手术时间上有相似的结果,事实上,在B级和C级胆囊炎患者中,RC的手术时间明显更短。证据等级:iii级-回顾性研究。

Patients were primarily female (69.2%), with mean age of 47±18.3 years. The majority of cases had grade B cholecystitis (41.2%). Patients undergoing RC had lower operative times compared with LC in grade B (101.87±17.54 vs 114.96±29.44 min, p=0.003) and grade C (134.68±26.97 vs 152.06±31.3 min, p=0.038).
