Article Synopsis
- Head trauma significantly affects pediatric patients, and while guidelines recommend head CT scans (CTH), the need for dedicated facial CT scans (CTF) is less defined.
- A study involving 2117 pediatric trauma patients from 2016 to 2021 found that those receiving both CTH and CTF were typically older, experienced high-velocity injuries, and had longer hospital stays, with a notable percentage having no fractures detected.
- Although CTF can reveal additional fractures, most do not require treatment, leading researchers to recommend its use be limited to specific cases involving facial injuries.
Introduction: There appears to be an association between preoperative opioid use and postoperative complications. We sought to determine whether patients with a history of chronic opiate use (defined as 3 months or more of sustained use) prior to undergoing free flap surgery have higher rates of 30-day complications.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients undergoing free flaps from 2015 to 2020 was performed.
Background: The presence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) alone does not increase the risk of ischemic stroke. Several prospective studies with a small number of patients have shown that the risk of ischemic stroke is higher in patients with PFO and pulmonary embolism (PE). We studied the association of ischemic stroke in the patients who had PFO with PE (PFOwiPE) and compared with the patients who had PFO without PE (PFOwoPE).
