Travel Time as an Indicator of Poor Access to Care in Surgical Emergencies.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Surgery, University of Washington, Seattle.
Importance: Timely access to care is a key metric for health care systems and is particularly important in conditions that acutely worsen with delays in care, including surgical emergencies. However, the association between travel time to emergency care and risk for complex presentation is poorly understood.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of travel time on disease complexity at presentation among people with emergency general surgery conditions and to evaluate whether travel time was associated with clinical outcomes and measures of increased health resource utilization.
Fluid Management Bundle in Critically Ill Children With Respiratory Failure Is Associated With a Reduced Prevalence of Excess Fluid Accumulation.
Pediatr Crit Care Med
January 2025
Department of Pediatrics, UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA.
Objectives: To report the feasibility of a fluid management practice bundle and describe the pre- vs. post-implementation prevalence and odds of cumulative fluid balance greater than 10% in critically ill pediatric patients with respiratory failure.
Design: Retrospective cohort from May 2022 to December 2022.

Department of Plastic Surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas, USA.
Bell's palsy (BP) is reported as the most common cause of facial paralysis, yet literature lacks a standardized definition of BP. To identify and categorize how the term "Bell's palsy" is defined and applied in published medical literature. Randomized controlled trials, clinical trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and reviews containing "Bell's palsy" were identified in MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL databases from inception until April 2, 2024.

The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma initially published the organ injury scaling for the kidney in 1989, which was subsequently updated in 2018. This current American Association for the Surgery of Trauma kidney organ injury scaling update incorporates the latest evidence in diagnosis and management of renal trauma and is based upon a multidisciplinary consensus. These changes reflect the near universal use of computed tomography for renal trauma evaluation and the widespread adoption of conservative management across all grades of renal trauma.

J Trauma Acute Care Surg
January 2025
From the Department of Surgery, Westchester Medical Center, New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY.
Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has emerged as a critical intervention in the management of patients with trauma-induced cardiorespiratory failure. This study aims to compare outcomes in patients with severe thoracic injuries with and without venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO).
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study on Trauma Quality Improvement Program (2017-2021) and included all patients with isolated blunt thoracic injuries with Abbreviated Injury Scale score of ≥4 who required intubation.
