Most patients receiving a PEG return to oral intake at discharge, and many are done for hospital disposition. With a high complication rate requiring re-intervention, delaying placement may reduce morbidity.

Is interfacility transfer a hidden risk factor? 🚑
New study from @MCWtraumaacs @MCWSurgResearch shows high-risk EGS transfers face higher odds of major complications & Failure-to-Rescue. We need targeted QI for these patients. @pbatesmurphy

Huge lift by many acute care surgeons around the country and superstar resident Dr. Danielle Wilson - hopefully generates discussion to move the needle with thoughtful systems of care and workforce planning in Acute Care Surgery
18 Nov 2025
How many patients on the trauma service is too many?
How many patients can a single surgeon see?
What about when they have resident/APP support?
ICU patients?
See what the current national opinion is from an EAST multicenter survey by Wilson et al:

A study of 40 US trauma centers suggests 78% are understaffed based on a 204 shifts/year standard per cFTE. Hospitals need to hire additional Acute Care Surgeons but face barriers to expansion.

So...how does your hospital decide how many surgeons are required to provide adequate coverage?
This sounds like a simple question - but @pbatesmurphy has shown how complex the answer can be.
In this conversation, we discuss the crazy but predictable results of his recent paper - the almost 80% US hospitals are understaffed from an acute care perspective
open.spotify.com/episode/0Mf…
The results open up a whole conversation about surgical culture, compensation, and how we provide adequate care for our patients.

Damage Control Thoracotomy is increasingly being utilized across the globe, yet survivability is not increasing from its employment. The current study demonstrates there is no superior technique to temporizing the chest. Complications of DCT reflect the acuity of the injured.
