Critical Care Self-Study Resources-Critical Care Year in Review - II

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, three topics in surgical critical care are discussed. The first topic is the use of the adjusted sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score for prognostication in emergency general surgery (EGS) patients. The study showed that an increased quad SOFA score was associated with an increased risk of mortality in these patients. The second topic is the metric trial, which compared aspirin to low molecular weight heparin as thromboprophylaxis in patients with fractures. The study showed no difference in mortality between the two groups. The third topic is the use of propranolol and clonidine in the treatment of severe traumatic brain injury. The study showed no difference in ventilator-free days between the treatment and control groups. An additional topic that was discussed is the issue of sexual harassment and assault in the surgical workforce, with a survey showing that a majority of respondents, particularly women, reported being targets of sexual harassment or assault.
