Awaiting insurance coverage: Medicaid enrollment and post-acute care use after traumatic injury.
J Trauma Acute Care Surg
January 2025
From the Section of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, Department of Surgery (D.N.H., J.S.H.), University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois; Perelman School of Medicine (E.C.E., A.T.C., O.I.R., A.U.M., M.K.D., N.D.M., M.J.S., E.J.K.), Division of Trauma, Surgical Critical Care and Emergency Surgery (K.M.C., N.D.M., M.J.S., E.J.K.), University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Department of Surgery (L.M.K.), Stanford University, Stanford, California.
Background: Lack of insurance after traumatic injury is associated with decreased use of postacute care and poor outcomes. Insurance linkage programs enroll eligible patients in Medicaid at the time of an unplanned admission. We hypothesized that Medicaid enrollment would be associated with increased use of postacute care, but also with prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS) while awaiting insurance authorization.

A 37-year-old woman with a history of facelift surgery presented with a painless temporal mass after surfboard trauma. Physical examination revealed a 1 cm pulsatile mass, and ultrasound confirmed a superficial temporal artery pseudoaneurysm. Surgical excision was complicated by adhesions from previous facial surgery and steroid injections.

Screening for pulmonary nodules (PN) using low-dose CT has proven effective in reducing lung cancer (LC) mortality. However, current treatments relying on follow-up and surgical excision fail to fully address clinical needs. Pathological angiogenesis plays a pivotal role in supplying oxygen necessary for the progression of PN to LC.

General Surgery, Croydon University Hospital, London, GBR.
Background Laparoscopic appendicectomy is a commonly used approach for the surgical management of acute appendicitis. If complications arise, a blood transfusion may be necessary for patients undergoing emergency appendicectomy. The need for routine group and save (G&S) sampling prior to emergency laparoscopic appendicectomy remains a subject of ongoing discussion.

Significance: Protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) delayed fluorescence (DF) is inversely related to the oxygen present in tissues and has potential as a novel biomarker for surgical guidance and real-time tissue metabolism assessment. Despite the unique promise of this technique, its successful clinical translation is limited by the low intensity emitted.
Aim: We developed a systematic study of ways to increase the PpIX DF signal through acquisition sampling changes, allowing optimized imaging at video rates.
