Background: Hip fracture is common and associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) influence platelet hemostasis and might result in abnormal bleeding. This study aims to determine whether the use of SSRIs in older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery is associated with the risk of perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion.

Background: Indications for Veno-venous (VV) or veno-arterial (VA) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) after trauma rely on poor evidence. The main aims were to describe the population of trauma patients requiring either VV or VA ECMO and report their clinical management and outcomes.
Methods: An observational multicentre retrospective study was conducted in 17 Level 1 trauma centres in France between January 2010 and December 2021.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the limitations of traditional time-frequency (T-F) analysis for examining cyclic neural activities in EEG due to high variability in trials.
- It introduces cycle-frequency (C-F) analysis as a more effective method for characterizing cycle-locked respiratory events, showing improved accuracy in frequency and time localization compared to T-F even with fewer trials.
- Preliminary results from real EEG data indicate that the C-F method may enhance the understanding of rhythmic neural activities by normalizing time to cyclic phases and improving baseline measurements.
Sensitivity and specificity of strategies to identify patients with hemostasis abnormalities leading to an increased risk of bleeding before scheduled intervention: the Hemorisk study.

Background: Preoperative identification of patients with hemostasis abnormalities leading to an increased bleeding risk is based on routine hemostasis tests: prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and platelet count. Because of their low predictive performance, guidelines recommend replacing them with structured bleeding risk questionnaires, but none is validated in this population.
Objectives: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of 3 strategies, performed at the preanesthesia visit before scheduled interventions, and to identify patients with hemostasis abnormalities leading to an increased bleeding risk METHODS: A multicenter study was performed in 7 French academic hospitals, involving patients scheduled for surgical intervention, without antiplatelet/anticoagulant treatment.
Aim Of The Study: Emergency resuscitative thoracotomy (ERT) has been described as a potentially life-saving procedure for trauma patients who have been admitted in refractory shock or with recent loss of sign of life (SOL). This nationwide registry analysis aimed to describe the French practice of ERT.
Patients And Methods: From 2015 to 2021, all severe trauma patients who underwent ERT were extracted from the TraumaBase→ registry.
