Background: The management of patients with subclavian artery injury is rapidly evolving from an open to an endovascular approach. We aim to present an analysis of management and a comparison of outcomes according to the type of approach used to treat these challenging injuries.
Methods: Adult patients with subclavian arterial injuries were abstracted from the National Inpatient Sample database from 2012 to 2014 and 2016 to 2021.
Background: Evidence for the appropriate type of tracheostomy in patients with liver cirrhosis is lacking. A retrospective analysis of the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) was performed.
Methods: Adult patients with liver cirrhosis undergoing tracheostomy while on mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure were abstracted from the NIS database between 2016 and 2018 and analyzed.
