1. Entrapped victims in motor vehicle collisions: characteristics and prehospital care in the city of São Paulo, Brazil
OBJECTIVE: To examine the severity of trauma in entrapped victims and to identify risk factors for mortality and morbidity. INTRODUCTION: Triage and rapid assessment of trauma severity is essential to provide the needed resources during prehospital and hospital phases and for outcome prediction. It is expected that entrapped victims will have greater severit

3. Mild head trauma. Late evaluation of quality of life and neuropsychological changes / Trauma craniencefálico leve: avaliação tardia da qualidade de vida e alterações neuropsicológicas
Mild head trauma (MHT) is defined as a transitory neurological deficit that happens after the trauma and includes a history of nausea, vomiting, headache or dizziness and loss or alteration of consciousness (less than 15 minutes), post-trauma amnesia, and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) at admission between 13 and 15. Despite the high survival rates, some morbidity

5. Ten-year trend in survival and resource utilization at a level I trauma center.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of increasing trauma center experience over time on survival and resource utilization. METHODS: The authors studied a retrospective cohort at a single level I trauma center over a 10-year period, from 1986 to 1995. Patients included all hospital admissions and emergency department deaths. The main outcome measures were the

6. Nonoperative management of blunt hepatic trauma is the treatment of choice for hemodynamically stable patients. Results of a prospective trial.
BACKGROUND: A number of retrospective studies recently have been published concerning nonoperative management of minor liver injuries, with cumulative success rates greater than 95%. However, no prospective analysis that involves a large number of higher grade injuries has been reported. The current study was conducted to evaluate the safety of nonoperative

7. The estimated survival probability index of trauma severity.
An index of survival rates associated with ICDA injury codes was constructed with data from the 1973 Hospital Discharge Survey (HDS). Discharge records from three regions covered by the HDS allowed estimation of survival rates among patients suffering single injuries coded under 92 ICDA integers. These estimated rates were then applied to records from the fo

8. A statewide, population-based time-series analysis of the increasing frequency of nonoperative management of abdominal solid organ injury.
Emergency operative intervention has been one of the cornerstones of the care of the injured patient. Over the past several years, nonoperative management has increasing been recommended for the care of selected blunt abdominal solid organ injuries. The purpose of this study was to utilize a large statewide, population-based data set to perform a time-series

9. Enteral versus parenteral feeding. Effects on septic morbidity after blunt and penetrating abdominal trauma.
To investigate the importance of route of nutrient administration on septic complications after blunt and penetrating trauma, 98 patients with an abdominal trauma index of at least 15 were randomized to either enteral or parenteral feeding within 24 hours of injury. Septic morbidity was defined as pneumonia, intra-abdominal abscess, empyema, line sepsis, or
