Our last 24hrs here at @UPennTrauma & have no doubt this is also happened at many trauma centers across the city & country. When I arrived at work this AM, no news trucks covering, no one asking for comments, no outrage. Astounding how we, as a society, can just look away

Not many surgery meetings where you can have lunch on a glacier and then explore the ice caves.
@WesternTrauma again for the win!

If TXA doesn't reduce brain bleed size, why does it improve TBI outcomes?
TXA reduces cytotoxic complement activation, D-dimer and plasmin activity
Tranexamic acid reduces systemic complement activation in traumatic brain injury patients

It’s been a while friends. Turns out starting up a #trauma program is a time-consuming endeavour. More to come on lessons learned…
For now, I’m excited to return to the #podcast. 1st up? TBI series - starting with basics.
Thoughts on objectives? #MedTwitter

Yes, this is why it is so rare….ineffective for this injury/physiology. The often discussed 2010 LAC series: 3/258 EDT organ donors….none of those 3 had cranial GSW #EAST2024
12 Jan 2024
Grateful to @PennTrauma for moving this discussion forward. We found greater survival & donation in isolated GSW to the brain with CPR in our @EAST_TRAUMA MIT, but couldn’t comment on EDT because use in our series was so rare. #EAST2024 tsaco.bmj.com/content/4/1/e0…

A massive day for UK trauma with the publication in @JAMA_current of two game-changing trauma trials: @CRYOSTAT_2 and @UKREBOATrial.
Both turning points in how we understand and treat trauma patients.
