Article Synopsis
- Cell salvage (CS) is an underused resource in trauma care, and this study evaluates its utilization and outcomes in adult trauma patients to formulate evidence-based recommendations.
- A systematic review of 9 studies involving 1,119 patients compared CS use with allogeneic transfusions, finding no significant differences in mortality rates, complication rates, or ICU length of stay between the two groups.
- Despite similar patient outcomes, CS was identified as a potentially more cost-effective option, and further research is recommended to explore its long-term effects in trauma care.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates injuries and fatalities linked to electric vehicle (EV) collisions in the US, using data from 2014 to 2020, and finds that while the fatality rate per capita remained stable, overall EV fatalities increased significantly during this period.
- - Most EV fatalities occurred on local roads, with notable factors including speeding (46%), fire (14%), and intoxication (38%), and specific models like Tesla Model S, Kia Niro, and Hyundai IONIQ had higher fatality rates per capita.
- - Comparisons show that the Hyundai IONIQ had a significantly lower fatality per capita than its gasoline counterpart, the Hyundai Elantra, suggesting differences in safety outcomes between EVs and traditional vehicles.
