Elevated IAP can reduce visceral perfusion, lead to intraabdominal hypertension, and result in life-threatening abdominal compartment syndrome. While ingestible capsular devices have been used for various abdominal diagnoses, their application in continuous IAP monitoring remains unproven. We conducted a prospective clinical trial to evaluate the feasibility of IAP measurement using a digital capsule PressureDOT, an ingestible capsule equipped with wireless transmission capability and a pressure sensor, then compared its reliability with conventional intravesical method. Patients undergoing laparoscopic or robotic surgeries were recruited. During surgery, we created pneumoperitoneum by inflating CO2 into the peritoneal cavity and IAP was simultaneously monitored using both the ingestible capsules and intravesical measurements from Foley catheter. We assessed the feasibility of signal transmission and the accuracy of pressure measurements. Six patients were enrolled in this pilot study. No adverse events were reported, and the average first-intake time was within 24 h. All capsules were successfully expelled, with an average excretion time of 81 h. In the summarized data, the mean IAPdot is 0.6 mmHg lower than the IAPivp, with a standard deviation of 1.68 mmHg. However, capsule measurements showed excellent correlation with intravesical IAP measurements, with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.916 (95% CI: 0.8821–0.9320). Our study demonstrates the feasibility and safety of using digital capsules for continuous IAP monitoring, providing the agreement between IAP measurements from digital capsules and conventional intravesical measurement within a near-normal pressure.","PeriodicalId":48867,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Emergency Surgery","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143044100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to study the role of uterine artery embolization (UAE) in controlling PPH and its impact on the need for hysterectomy. We studied patients who were diagnosed with primary PPH between February 2012 and March 2020 at Al Ain Hospital, United Arab Emirates. We studied the characteristics and outcomes of those undergoing interventional radiology via UAE. Logistic regression analysis was done to define the factors that predict the need for emergency UAE. Out of 79 patients who had elective (n = 53) or emergency (n = 26) embolization, the placenta previa accreta (69.8% vs. 23.1%) and placenta previa (24.4% vs. 3.8%) were the common indications for elective versus emergency UAE (p < 0.001). The indication for UAE was the most significant factor for predicting an emergency procedure (p = 0.002) with placenta previa being significantly different from other indications (p < 0.001). Bleeding stopped in 78/79 patients (success rate of 98.7%) following UAE. Those who failed stopping of the bleeding were similar between the elective and emergency IR, (1/53 (1.9%) compared with 0/26 (0%), p = 0.99 Fisher’s Exact test). Overall, eight patients (10%) had hysterectomy, one of them was needed as the final solution to stop bleeding. There were no maternal deaths. Interventional radiological UAE is very efficient in controlling postpartum hemorrhage. It should be recommended as the first line of treatment for significant bleeding when expertise and facilities are available. It increases survival, reduces hysterectomy rate, without a difference if done as an emergency or elective procedure.","PeriodicalId":48867,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Emergency Surgery","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143020690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the 2023 mortality report from Statistics Korea, external factors such as intentional self-harm and transportation incidents are leading causes of death among individuals aged 10 to 30, accounting for 7.9% of overall mortality. Despite advances in the field, specialization has hindered comprehensive trauma care. In South Korea, regional trauma centers have been established to meet critical trauma management needs; however, challenges remain, including a shortage of trauma surgeons and inefficient resource utilization. The reluctance of surgical residents to pursue trauma training exacerbates the scarcity of qualified specialists. Trauma surgeons often bear extensive responsibilities, which limits their ability to perform prompt interventions. Acute Care Surgery (ACS) offers a model to integrate trauma and non-trauma surgical care, enabling hospitals to implement effective protocols for urgent cases and improving patient outcomes. Research indicates that ACS enhances emergency surgical management, increases training opportunities for residents, and improves job satisfaction among participating surgeons. Integrating ACS into South Korea’s healthcare system is essential to optimize resource allocation and improve emergency care, ultimately leading to enhanced public health outcomes.","PeriodicalId":48867,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Emergency Surgery","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142990061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, several studies have suggested adding hypocalcemia to the lethal triad to form the lethal diamond, but the evidence supporting this change is limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the lethal triad and lethal diamond for their respective associations with 24-h mortality in severe trauma patients receiving transfusion. We performed a multicenter retrospective analysis of patients in TraumaBase®, a French database (2011–2023). The patients included in this study were all trauma patients who had received transfusions of at least 1 unit of red blood cells (RBCs) within the first 6 h of hospital admission and for whom ionized calcium measurements were available. Hypocalcemia was defined as an ionized calcium level < 1.1 mmol/L. A total of 2141 severe trauma patients were included (median age: 39, interquartile range [IQR]: 26–57; median injury severity score: 27, IQR: 17–41). Patients primarily presented with blunt trauma (81.7%), and a 24-h mortality rate of 16.1% was observed. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed no significant difference in the association with 24-h mortality between the lethal diamond (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.71) and the lethal triad (AUC: 0.72) (p = 0.26). The strength of the association with 24-h mortality was similar between the lethal triad and the lethal diamond, with Cramer’s V values of 0.29 and 0.28, respectively. This study revealed no significant difference between the lethal triad and the lethal diamond in terms of their respective associations with 24-h mortality in severe trauma patients requiring transfusion.

The variability in AAP symptoms and causes, combined with the challenge of identifying appendicitis, complicate timely intervention. To estimate the risk of appendicitis, scoring systems such as the Alvarado score have been developed. However, diagnostic errors and delays remain common. Although various machine learning (ML) models have been proposed to enhance appendicitis detection, none have been seamlessly integrated into the ED workflows for AAP or are specifically designed to diagnose appendicitis as early as possible within the clinical decision-making process. To mimic daily clinical practice, this proof-of-concept study aims to develop ML models that support decision-making using comprehensive clinical data up to key decision points in the ED workflow to detect appendicitis in patients presenting with AAP. Data from the Dutch triage system at the ED, vital signs, complete medical history and physical examination findings and routine laboratory test results were retrospectively extracted from 350 AAP patients presenting to the ED of a Dutch teaching hospital from 2016 to 2023. Two eXtreme Gradient Boosting ML models were developed to differentiate cases with appendicitis from other AAP causes: one model used all data up to and including physical examination, and the other was extended with routine laboratory test results. The performance of both models was evaluated on a validation set (n = 68) and compared to the Alvarado scoring system as well as three ED physicians in a reader study. The ML models achieved AUROCs of 0.919 without laboratory test results and 0.923 with the addition of laboratory test results. The Alvarado scoring system attained an AUROC of 0.824. ED physicians achieved AUROCs of 0.894, 0.826, and 0.791 without laboratory test results, increasing to AUROCs of 0.923, 0.892, and 0.859 with laboratory test results. Both ML models demonstrated comparable high accuracy in predicting appendicitis in patients with AAP, outperforming the Alvarado scoring system. The ML models matched or surpassed ED physician performance in detecting appendicitis, with the largest potential performance gain observed in absence of laboratory test results. Integration could assist ED physicians in early and accurate diagnosis of appendicitis.
