Article Synopsis
- Penetrating neck injuries present serious challenges in managing bleeding and repairs, leading to high mortality and potential neurological damage.
- A case of a penetrating injury to the internal jugular vein from an angle grinder disc was treated successfully with emergency surgery, resulting in full recovery.
- Angle grinders can cause severe injuries; ligation can help control venous wounds, but protective measures are essential due to the risk of nerve damage.
Objective: We sought to better define surgical etiquette and elucidate operating room (OR) personnel expectations of medical students to determine areas for medical education improvement.
Design: A questionnaire probing medical student performance regarding elements of OR etiquette was developed. Questions were designed to obtain structured feedback through Likert scales and open-ended responses.
Traumatic thoracic aortic injuries (TTAI) are associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. They are classified according to the extent of damage and computed tomography angiography has the highest sensitivity and specificity for identifying the degree of injury and potential associated lesions. Treatment strategies for TTAI are based on the type and extent of injury and associated lesions.
