Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Serious injury refers to physical trauma caused to a body by an external force that requires immediate medical attention or hospitalization. Falls, burns, acts of violence, road accidents, natural disasters, faulty products, and extreme sports may result in severe injuries. Serious injuries may, but not necessarily lead to permanent disability, impairment or disfigurement. Severe injuries not only involve the physical impact on the body of a patient, but it also affects emotional and mental health. These mental health issues can further have a negative impact on the rate of recovery. The mental health issues which can be caused due to a severe injury include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that is triggered by a shocking event. This condition develops when the symptoms of trauma persist for weeks and months after the stressful event. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a treatment therapy, which is used for a variety of mental health conditions such as anxiety disorders, depression, and PTSD. It helps people change their thought patterns in order to influence their behaviors and emotions. This book presents researches on various new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for the care of severely injured patients. From theories to research to practical applications, clinical studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to this area of medicine have been included herein.
Book Synopsis Emergency and Critical Care of Severely Injured Patients by : Frank Hildebrand
Download or read book Emergency and Critical Care of Severely Injured Patients written by Frank Hildebrand and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-07-25 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Severe trauma is among the leading causes of death and morbidity in many age groups worldwide. The chain of survival in critically ill injured patients starts on the scene, continues in the emergency department, and carries on in the first surgical phase and the intensive care unit. The optimal care of such patients depends on both the medical treatment as well as the organizational management. Many medical problems in the care of severely injured patients might be similar in most parts of the world, while the organizational challenges on the trauma systems are quite diverse. Therefore, it appears essential to consider both the medical treatment and the organizational management to optimize the care of critically ill trauma patients in different world regions.

Book Synopsis Reducing the Burden of Injury by : Committee on Injury Prevention and Control
Download or read book Reducing the Burden of Injury written by Committee on Injury Prevention and Control and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-01-04 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Injuries are the leading cause of death and disability among people under age 35 in the United States. Despite great strides in injury prevention over the decades, injuries result in 150,000 deaths, 2.6 million hospitalizations, and 36 million visits to the emergency room each year. Reducing the Burden of Injury describes the cost and magnitude of the injury problem in America and looks critically at the current response by the public and private sectors, including: Data and surveillance needs. Research priorities. Trauma care systems development. Infrastructure support, including training for injury professionals. Firearm safety. Coordination among federal agencies. The authors define the field of injury and establish boundaries for the field regarding intentional injuries. This book highlights the crosscutting nature of the injury field, identifies opportunities to leverage resources and expertise of the numerous parties involved, and discusses issues regarding leadership at the federal level.
Book Synopsis New Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches for the Care of the Severely Injured Patient by : Frank Hildebrand
Download or read book New Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches for the Care of the Severely Injured Patient written by Frank Hildebrand and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trauma represents a leading cause of death, particularly in the younger population. Traumatic brain injury and hemorrhage are the most common causes of early death, whereas complications such as infections, (multi-)organ failure and “persistent inflammation, immunosuppression, and catabolism syndrome” (PICS) represent relevant factors for late adverse outcomes. Pre- and intra-hospital diagnostic and therapeutic standard operating procedures have been shown to beneficially influence posttraumatic outcome. However, development of patient-specific diagnostic and therapeutic strategies remains challenging due to uncertainties regarding the assessment of the individual risk profile. Furthermore, the relevance of prevention and rehabilitation measures to avoid unfavorable long-term consequences of trauma is not fully elucidated. With this Special Issue, we wanted to reflect the current knowledge about the pathomechanisms associated with the impact of severe injury and its consequences for the further clinical course on the one hand, and to point out new insights in regard to diagnostic and therapeutic approaches on the other hand. Furthermore, interesting aspects for future directions for the care of severely injured patients are illustrated.
Book Synopsis Major trauma care in England by : Great Britain: National Audit Office
Download or read book Major trauma care in England written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-02-05 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Care for patients who have suffered major trauma, for example following a road accident or a fall, has not significantly improved in the last 20 years despite numerous reports identifying poor practice, and services are not being delivered efficiently or effectively. Survival rates vary significantly, with a range from five unexpected survivors to eight unexpected deaths per 100 trauma patients, reflecting the variable quality of care. 450 to 600 lives could be saved each year in England if major trauma care was managed more effectively. For best outcomes care should be led by consultants experienced in major trauma; but major trauma is most likely to occur at night and at weekends, when consultants are not normally in the emergency department. Major trauma care is not coordinated and there are no formal arrangements for taking patients directly for specialist treatment or transferring them between hospitals. A significant number of patients that need a scan CT do not receive one. Not enough patients who need a critical care bed are given one. Access to rehabilitation services varies and patients are not always receiving the care that they need. The estimated annual lost economic output from deaths and serious injuries from major trauma is between £3.3 billion and £3.7 billion. Only 60 per cent of hospitals delivering major trauma care contribute to the Trauma Audit and Research Network (TARN). The performance of the 40 per cent of hospitals that do not submit data to TARN cannot be measured.

This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) provides disability compensation to veterans with a service-connected injury, and to receive disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), a veteran must submit a claim or have a claim submitted on his or her behalf. Evaluation of the Disability Determination Process for Traumatic Brain Injury in Veterans reviews the process by which the VA assesses impairments resulting from traumatic brain injury for purposes of awarding disability compensation. This report also provides recommendations for legislative or administrative action for improving the adjudication of veterans' claims seeking entitlement to compensation for all impairments arising from a traumatic brain injury.
Book Synopsis Injury in America by : National Research Council
Download or read book Injury in America written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1985-01-01 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Injury is a public health problem whose toll is unacceptable," claims this book from the Committee on Trauma Research. Although injuries kill more Americans from 1 to 34 years old than all diseases combined, little is spent on prevention and treatment research. In addition, between $75 billion and $100 billion each year is spent on injury-related health costs. Not only does the book provide a comprehensive survey of what is known about injuries, it suggests there is a vast need to know more. Injury in America traces findings on the epidemiology of injuries, prevention of injuries, injury biomechanics and the prevention of impact injury, treatment, rehabilitation, and administration of injury research.

Download or read book A National Trauma Care System written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in trauma care have accelerated over the past decade, spurred by the significant burden of injury from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Between 2005 and 2013, the case fatality rate for United States service members injured in Afghanistan decreased by nearly 50 percent, despite an increase in the severity of injury among U.S. troops during the same period of time. But as the war in Afghanistan ends, knowledge and advances in trauma care developed by the Department of Defense (DoD) over the past decade from experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq may be lost. This would have implications for the quality of trauma care both within the DoD and in the civilian setting, where adoption of military advances in trauma care has become increasingly common and necessary to improve the response to multiple civilian casualty events. Intentional steps to codify and harvest the lessons learned within the military's trauma system are needed to ensure a ready military medical force for future combat and to prevent death from survivable injuries in both military and civilian systems. This will require partnership across military and civilian sectors and a sustained commitment from trauma system leaders at all levels to assure that the necessary knowledge and tools are not lost. A National Trauma Care System defines the components of a learning health system necessary to enable continued improvement in trauma care in both the civilian and the military sectors. This report provides recommendations to ensure that lessons learned over the past decade from the military's experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq are sustained and built upon for future combat operations and translated into the U.S. civilian system.

Book Synopsis Care for Trauma Patients by : Bernard Donwa
Download or read book Care for Trauma Patients written by Bernard Donwa and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trauma cuts across all national boundaries. Many developing and 3rd world countries have a greater proportion of road traffic accidents and industrial related trauma in a generally younger population. The management/care of severe multiple injured patients require clear recognition and understanding of treatment priorities and the goal here is to determine during the initial assessment those injuries that are life threatening the patient. Mortality associated with such trauma can be reduced by early and effective medical intervention. This manual intends to provide basic knowledge and skills set which is necessary to identify and treat those traumatized patients who require rapid evaluation, quick resuscitation and stabilization of their injuries. This Manual will particularly highlight the need for early warnings, recognition and timely intervention in life-threatening conditions before it's too late. It provides basic foundation on which doctors, nurses and allied health workers can build knowledge and skills for trauma management with minimal equipment and without advanced and sophisticated technological requirements. There are several other very successful and well organized trauma courses and manuals available, including the American College of Surgeons ATLS course and the EMST Australian course. These courses are directed to medical personnel in well-equipped hospitals with oxygen; life supports systems, high dependency units, communication and transport etc. and offers a comprehensive training package. The manual is not a substitute for these courses, but will uses similar basic principles and emphasizes basic trauma care with minimal resources."
Book Synopsis Clinical Management and Challenges in Polytrauma by : Roman Pfeifer
Download or read book Clinical Management and Challenges in Polytrauma written by Roman Pfeifer and published by Mdpi AG. This book was released on 2022-08-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trauma is still a leading cause of death in patients below 40 years of age. Clinical management of severely injured patients is challenging in all phases of treatment during the clinical course. Numerous factors, such as injury severity, injury pattern, patient characteristics and trauma system, affect the decision-making process in our patients. After the successful initial management of an unstable multiply injured patient, secondary definitive surgeries and reconstructions may have a risk for further systemic complications and the deterioration of the patient's physiology. A "Safe Definitive Surgery" (SDS) concept considers the dynamics of the clinical course (prehospital, operations, complications, etc.) and the patient's physiology. Due to the repeated re-evaluation and assessment of the patient's clinical course, dynamics and adaptation of the treatment strategy, the safe management of polytraumatized patients is possible. Many unanswered questions still exist and need to be addressed in future studies: Which patients profit by the damage control strategy and which do not? When is it best to start with the definitive fixation of fractures in multiply injured patients? How can one improve the quality of life in polytraumatized patients? What are the strategies in elderly severely injured patients? With this Special Issue, we would like to stimulate research in the field of polytrauma in order to shed light on the above-mentioned questions

Book Synopsis Trauma Induced Coagulopathy by : Hunter B. Moore
Download or read book Trauma Induced Coagulopathy written by Hunter B. Moore and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of this publication was aimed at defining the current concepts of trauma induced coagulopathy by critically analyzing the most up-to-date studies from a clinical and basic science perspective. It served as a reference source for any clinician interested in reviewing the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of the coagulopathic trauma patient, and the data that supports it. By meticulously describing the methodology of most traditional as well as state of the art coagulation assays the reader is provided with a full understanding of the tests that are used to study trauma induced coagulopathy. With the growing interest in understanding and managing coagulation in trauma, this second edition has been expanded to 46 chapters from its original 35 to incorporate the massive global efforts in understanding, diagnosing, and treating trauma induced coagulopathy. The evolving use of blood products as well as recently introduced hemostatic medications is reviewed in detail. The text provides therapeutic strategies to treat specific coagulation abnormalities following severe injury, which goes beyond the first edition that largely was based on describing the mechanisms causing coagulation abnormalities. Trauma Induced Coagulopathy 2nd Edition is a valuable reference to clinicians that are faced with specific clinical challenges when managing coagulopathy.
