Introduction: Platelets are critical for hemostasis, and a low platelet count predicts mortality in trauma. The role of platelet dysfunction in severe traumatic hemorrhage and coagulopathy needs to be further defined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the platelet function in a new model of experimental traumatic hemorrhage.
Material And Methods: New Zealand white rabbits (n = 10) were subjected to tracheostomy and trauma laparotomy, and then bilateral femur fractures with 40% hemorrhage of their estimated blood volume. Arterial blood gases, standard coagulation tests, mean platelet volume, platelet aggregation using impedance aggregometry with agonist collagen, arachidonic acid (ASPI), and adenosine diphosphate (ADP), rotational thromboelastometry, and fibrinogen binding of platelets were analyzed using flow cytometry.
Results: After traumatic hemorrhage, there was a significant physiological response with a rise in lactate ( < .001) and a decrease in base excess ( < .001) and temperature ( < .001). Platelet count decreased from a mean of 244x10/L to 94 x10/L ( = .004) and the mean platelet volume increased from 5.1fL to 6.1fL ( = .002). Impedance aggregometry with the agonist collagen, ASPI, and ADP was all significantly decreased after hemorrhage ( = .007). However, there was an increased fibrinogen binding of ADP-activated platelets after traumatic hemorrhage analyzed by flow cytometry ( < .05).
Conclusions: This traumatic hemorrhage model presents two parallel pathophysiological responses of platelets; platelet consumption as evidenced by a significant decrease in platelet count and aggregation, and platelet hyperreactivity as shown by a higher mean platelet volume and enhanced platelet fibrinogen binding. Further studies are needed to characterize these different aspects of platelet function in severe traumatic hemorrhage.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide and a major global health concern. In the United States (US), individuals of Black or African American racial identity experience disproportionately higher rates of TBI and suffer from worse post-injury outcomes. Contemporary research agendas have largely overlooked or excluded Black populations, resulting in the continued marginalization of Black patient populations in TBI studies, thereby limiting the generalizability of ongoing research to patients in the US and around the world.

Globally, traumatic injuries and severe hemorrhagic wounds resulting from natural disasters, wars, traffic accidents, and operation rooms, especially during birth, are among the most difficult humanitarian and economic problems. Thus, the priority in emergency medical treatment is reducing unexpected blood loss, which can significantly influence a patient's rescue and recovery speed. For the immediate cessation of bleeding in severe hemorrhagic wounds and to speed up their healing, environmentally friendly γ-ionizing irradiation technology was used to develop innovative natural-based hydrogels impregnated with traditional medicinal plant extracts (MPE) with proven hemostatic and bactericidal potential as potential dressings for hemostasis, infection control, and wound healing.

Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) carries a high economic cost and clinical morbidity in the United States. Beyond prolonged admissions and poor post-injury functional status, there is an additional cost of chronic shunt-dependent hydrocephalus for many aSAH patients. Adjuvant lumbar drain (LD) placement has been hypothesized to promote clearance of subarachnoid blood from the cisternal space, with an ultimate effect of decreasing shunt placement rates.

The subspecialty of neurocritical care has grown significantly over the past 40 years along with advancements in the medical and surgical management of neurological emergencies. The modern neuroscience intensive care unit (neuro-ICU) is grounded in close collaboration between neurointensivists and neurosurgeons in the management of patients with such conditions as ischemic stroke, aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracerebral hemorrhage, subdural hematomas, and traumatic brain injury. Neuro-ICUs are also capable of specialized monitoring such as serial neurological examinations by trained neuro-ICU nurses; invasive monitoring of intracranial pressure, cerebral oxygenation, and cerebral hemodynamics; cerebral microdialysis; and noninvasive monitoring, including the use of pupillometry, ultrasound monitoring of optic nerve sheath diameters, transcranial Doppler ultrasonography, near-infrared spectroscopy, and continuous electroencephalography.

Neurocritical care as a field aims to treat patients who are neurologically critically ill due to a variety of pathologies. As a recently developed subspecialty, the field faces challenges, several of which are outlined in this review. The authors discuss aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, status epilepticus, and traumatic brain injury as specific disease processes with opportunities for growth in diagnosis, management, and treatment, as well as disorders of consciousness that can arise as a result of many neurological injuries.
