A survey and analysis of peri-operative quality indicators promoted by National Societies of Anaesthesiologists in Europe Open
BACKGROUND To capture preventable peri-operative patient harm and guide improvement initiatives, many quality indicators (QIs) have been developed. Several National Anaesthesiologists Societies (NAS) in Europe have implemented quality indi…

Factor XIII Measurement and Substitution in Trauma Patients after Admission to an Intensive Care Unit Open
Trauma patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) may potentially experience a deficiency of coagulation factor thirteen (FXIII). In this retrospective cohort study conducted at a specialized trauma center, ICU patients were studied…

The impact of direct oral anticoagulants in traumatic brain injury patients greater than 60-years-old Open
In patients ≥60 years suffering from TBI, anticoagulation with DOACs appears to be safer than with VKA. Anti-thrombotic therapy with VKA resulted in a worse outcome compared to DOACs and PI. Further studies are warranted to confirm this fi…

Concentrated lyophilized plasma used for reconstitution of whole blood leads to higher coagulation factor activity but unchanged thrombin potential compared with fresh‐frozen plasma Open
BACKGROUND During massive hemorrhage, it is recommended to transfuse red blood cells, platelet concentrate, and fresh‐frozen plasma in a ratio close to 1:1:1. To avoid the thawing process of fresh frozen plasma, lyophilized plasma (LP) is …

Long-term outcome following upper extremity replantation after major traumatic amputation Open
We found that while the majority of the included patients exhibited good or very good function of the extremity, none of the replanted appendages regained normal levels of functionality. In addition, all participants were very satisfied wi…
