Tourniquet use in the prehospital setting: Are they being used appropriately?

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate tourniquet use in the Hartford prehospital setting during a 34-month period after the Hartford Consensus was published, which encouraged increasing tourniquet use in light of military research.

Readmissions in Patients with Anticoagulated Intracranial Hemorrhage: A Retrospective Review.

Objective: To determine the effect of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) compared with warfarin on the 30-day readmission rates in patients with traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (ICH).

Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of patients from our hospital's trauma database admitted between June 2011 and October 2015 to our level II trauma center after sustaining a traumatic ICH while receiving anticoagulant therapy. Patients were stratified based on the anticoagulation drug (DOAC or warfarin) prescribed on admission.

Gamified Twitter Microblogging to Support Resident Preparation for the American Board of Surgery In-Service Training Examination.
