24 hours stay after hip replacement.

Background and purpose - The length of stay after total hip arthroplasty has been reduced to 2-4 days after implementing fast-track surgery. We investigated whether a new time-based patient-centered primary direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) treatment protocol in a specialized clinic, with a planned length of stay of about 24 hours, could be achieved in all patients or only in a selected group of patients. Patients and methods - We analyzed prospectively collected data in a cohort of 378 consecutive patients who underwent a primary direct anterior THA as a patient-centered time-based procedure between March 1, 2012 and December 31, 2015.

The resuscitation great. Charles Hederer and his pulmoventilateur.

Various methods of artificial respiration using manual chest compressions with or without movement of the arms were first proposed by Leroy d'Etiolles in 1827 and introduced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. External manual methods generating a forced expiration were preferred until Safar reintroduced mouth-to-mouth ventilation in 1958 [Baskett PJF. Resuscitation Great.

Hollow visceral injury after blunt lower thoracic and abdominal trauma.

The early diagnosis of hollow viscous injury after blunt abdominal trauma remains a challenge for physicians in the Emergency Department, although the early diagnosis of hollow viscous injury decreases morbidity and mortality. After a description of two cases of hollow viscous injury after blunt abdominal trauma, a literature review is performed concerning the indications and limitations of diagnostic imaging modalities. Focused abdominal sonography for trauma, computed tomography scan and diagnostic peritoneal lavage are described.
