Background: A 10-year review of temporary intravascular shunts (TIVS) at a regional trauma center.
Methods: Retrospective chart review of all patients treated with temporary intravascular shunts from January 1, 1997 to January 1, 2007.
Results: Seven hundred eighty-six patients were treated for vascular injuries. Sixty-seven (9%) had a total of 101 (72 arterial, 29 venous) TIVS placed to facilitate damage control or to allow for reconstruction of Gustilo IIIc fractures or limb replantation. Seven patients who, on trauma day 0, died or had an extremity which was deemed unsalvageable were excluded. Of 60 patients who met inclusion criteria, seven died from TBI (3%), MOF (3%), sepsis (2%), deceleration of care (2%), and loss of airway (2%), which was deemed preventable.
Conclusions: TIVS have a shunt thrombosis rate of 5%, amputation rate of 18%, overall survival of 88%, and combination limb/patient survival rate of 73%. TIVS have an established role primarily in patients requiring either "damage control" for exsanguination or temporary vascular conduits during stabilization of Gustilo IIIc fractures. Truncal injuries are associated with the highest mortality likely due to accompanying multisystem trauma.

Disposable intravenous infusion sets as a temporary intravascular shunt for major limb replantation: a retrospective study.

Objective: The key to increasing the success rate of limb preservation lies in timely restoration of the blood supply to the severed limb, This study examines the clinical effect of a disposable intravenous infusion device as a temporary vascular shunt device which can quickly restore blood circulation in the replantation of severed limbs.
Methods: A retrospective review of all amputated major limbs in our department from May 2005 to May 2022. Patients treated with intravenous infusion tubes as temporary vascular shunt devices were included in group A(shunt group ) and those who could not use temporary intravascular shunt devices were included in group B (no shunt group).

Blood donation is a life-saving process that involves the temporary loss of a specific blood volume. Although generally safe, it may lead to adverse reactions, particularly in first-time donors. Among these, severe outcomes like myocardial infarction (MI) are extremely rare.

: Patients in cardiogenic shock (CS) may be successfully bridged using intravascular micro-axial left ventricular assist devices (M-LVADs) for recovery or determination of definitive therapy. : One hundred and seven CS patients implanted with M-LVADs from January 2020 to May 2024 were divided into four groups; group-1: 34 patients (transplant); group-2: 25 patients (LVAD); group-3: 42 patients (postcardiotomy CS (PCCS)); group-4: 6 patients (decision/recovery but excluded from analysis). Multivariable logistic regression and Multivariable Coxregression models identified predictors of early -hospital and late mortality, and Odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios (HRs) with < 0.

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.

Purpose: Vascular injuries require immediate surgical treatment with standard vascular techniques. We aimed to identify pitfalls in vascular surgery for trauma team optimization and to suggest recommendations for trauma and vascular surgeons.
Methods: We reviewed 28 victims and analyzed the patterns of injuries, methods of repair, and outcomes.
