Abstract

Vasoconstriction, an inherent property of Hemoglobin Based Oxygen Carriers (HBOC) potentially due to nitric oxide (NO) scavenging, may increase cardiovascular complications in HBOC resuscitated trauma patients. The purpose of this study was to determine if co-administration of a weak NO donor. intravenous nitroglycerin (NTG), with HBOC-201 during resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock could safely attenuate HBOC-201 vasoconstriction., Published in Resuscitation, v81 p481-487, 2010.

22. Infrared Imaging for Battle Injuries

Author

NORTH CAROLINA UNIV AT CHAPEL HILL, Katz, Laurence M., NORTH CAROLINA UNIV AT CHAPEL HILL, and Katz, Laurence M.

Abstract

The proposal is based on a hypothesis that certain traumatic injuries produce unique skin temperature signatures that can be identified and quantified. The specific aims are to determine the efficacy of passive JR imaging in diagnosis of life-threatening pneumothoraces and related pulmonary injuries, and of limb-threatening traumatic injuries such as compartment syndrome. Following successful demonstration of effectiveness, specifications will be developed for field deployable JR imaging devices.

23. Teaching Procedural Skills to Medical Students: A Pilot Procedural Skills Lab.

Author

Katz, Laurence M., Finch, Alexander, McKinnish, Tyler, Gilliland, Kurt, Tolleson-Rinehart, Sue, and Marks, Bonita L.

Abstract

Background: Medical students have limited confidence in performing procedural skills. A pilot study was conducted to evaluate the effect of a multifaceted Procedural Skills Lab (PSL) on the confidence of medical students to perform procedural skills. Methods: Twelve 2nd year medical students were randomly selected to participate in a pilot PSL. The PSL students met with an instructor for 2 h once a week for 4 weeks. Students participated in a flipped classroom and spaced education program before laboratory sessions that included a cadaver laboratory. Procedural skills included a focused assessment with sonography in trauma (FAST) scan, cardiac echocardiogram, lumbar puncture, arthrocentesis, and insertion of intraosseous and intravenous catheters. Students in the PSL were asked to rank their confidence in performing procedural skills before and after completion of the laboratory sessions (Wilcoxon ranked‑sum test). A web‑based questionnaire was also emailed to all 2nd year medical students to establish a baseline frequency for observing, performing, and confidence performing procedural skills (Mann–Whitney U‑test). Results: Fifty‑nine percent (n = 106) of 180 2nd year medical students (n = 12 PSL students [treatment group], n = 94 [control group]) completed the survey. Frequency of observation, performance, and confidence in performing procedural skills was similar between the control and treatment groups at baseline. There was an increased confidence level (p < 0.001) for performing all procedural skills for the treatment group after completion of the PSL. Discussion: An innovative PSL may increase students’ confidence to perform procedural skills. Future studies will examine competency after a PSL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

46. The Utility of a Falls Risk Self-Assessment Tool.

Abstract

Most falls risk assessments are designed for use by trained health care providers, even though many of the tests are relatively simple to administer and interpret. Thus, older adults pay for a service they might be able to perform for themselves. In these difficult economic times, it would be beneficial for older adults to assess their own falls risk without the need for a costly health care visit. Using existing falls risk assessment tools, a bilingual (English:Spanish) falls self-assessment booklet was designed for use by the older adult that evaluates both medical and environmental risks. This report details the benefits and pitfalls of the self-assessment, highlighting the assessments that were both valid and easy to self-administer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

50. BOVINE HEMOGLOBINBASED OXYGEN CARRIER HBOC201 FOR RESUSCITATION OF UNCONTROLLED, EXSANGUINATING LIVER INJURY IN SWINE

Author

Manning, James E., Katz, Laurence M., Brownstein, Michelle R., Pearce, Bruce L., Gawryl, Maria S., and Baker, Christopher C.

Abstract

In the setting of rapidly exsanguinating hemorrhage, resuscitation with intravenous i.v. crystalloid solution may not sustain survival before availability of allogenic blood transfusion and surgery. This study tested the hypothesis that bovine hemoglobinbased oxygen carrier, HBOC201, would improve resuscitation and extend early survival from exsanguinating hemorrhage. This study simulated the prehospital scenario of rapidly exsanguinating hemorrhage with prolonged prehospital time and lack of blood availability. Severe hemorrhagic shock was induced in swine by using multiple liver lacerations. At 9 min after the onset of bleeding, swine were randomized to receive approximately 10 mLkgmin of i.v. lactated Ringer's solution n 10 or HBOC201 n 7 to achieve a mean aortic pressure MAP of 60 mmHg. Thereafter, infusion rate was adjusted to maintain MAP at 60 mmHg for up to 2 h. All animals were initially successfully resuscitated. The results showed 2h survival was 1 of 10 with lactated Ringer's and 7 of 7 with HBOC201 P0.0004. Nine lactated Ringer's swine had cardiovascular collapse at 36 ± 10 min. Lactate at 30 min was 18 ± 3 mmolL with lactated Ringer's and 12 ± 2 mmolL with HBOC201 P< 0.05. Hematocrit was <1 in 9 of 10 lactated Ringer's and 6 of 7 HBOC201 animals. These data indicate that HBOC201 improved early survival and stabilized hemodynamic and metabolic parameters vs. lactated Ringer's in this swine model of liver injury with uncontrolled, lethal hemorrhage that simulates the prehospital care environment where allogenic blood is unavailable.
