  • Secondary Abdominal Compartment Syndrome Following Severe Extremity Injury: Unavoidable Or Unnecessary?
    Session IV Poster # 1 SECONDARY ABDOMINAL COMPARTMENT SYNDROME FOLLOWING SEVERE EXTREMITY INJURY: UNAVOIDABLE OR UNNECESSARY? Bryan A Cotton MD, Michael C Madigan BS, Clinton D Kemp MD, J Chad Johnson MD PhD, John A Morris Jr MD*, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN Introduction: Secondary abdominal compartment syndrome (2ACS) is the development of ACS in the absence of abdominal injury. 2ACS is often viewed as an unavoidable sequela of the large volume crystalloid resuscitation “required” to treat severe shock. We hypothesized that early, aggressive resuscitation techniques place patients with severe extremity injuries at risk for developing 2ACS. Methods: The TRACS database was queried for all patients with extremity AIS of 3 or greater and abdominal AIS of 0 treated at our institution between 01/01/2001-12/31/2005. The study group included those patients who developed 2ACS, while the comparison cohort included those who did not develop 2ACS. Results: 48 patients developed 2 ACS and were compared to 48 randomly sampled patients who had extremity AIS of ? 3 and abdomen AIS of 0. There were no differences between the groups with respect to age, sex, race, or individual AIS scores. However, the 2ACS group had a higher ISS (25.6 vs 21.4, p=0.02), higher OR crystalloid administration (9.9 L vs 2.7 L, p<0.001), and more frequent use of a rapid infuser (12.5% vs 0.0%, p=0.01). 65% of those who developed 2ACS did so within 12 hours of admission. Multiple logistic regression identified pre-hospital and ED crystalloid volume as predictors of 2ACS.

    How I Clawed My Way to the Middle JOHN WOOD Viking | RRP $34.99 | Trade Paperback | 4 August 2020 | Available as an audiobook via Audible A delightful peek behind the curtains at the life of John Wood, one of Australia’s most beloved actors. From working class beginnings in Melbourne through to rubbing shoulders with some of the best and brightest in Australia’s acting scene, John takes the reader on an enchanting jaunt through his childhood to his time on the silver screen. Tales of running money to the head office of Victorian Railways—with gun in tow—or working in the cold bowels of an abattoir provides glimpses into John’s humble origins. Whilst stories of participating in seances and seeing The Beatles live at Festival Hall reveal snippets of his life in Melbourne in a bygone era. John treads the boards of Australia’s most prominent theatres in the plays of our most acclaimed playwrights and directors, Williamson, Bell and Sumner to name but a few, until finally his time on television as familiar faces Michael Rafferty of Rafferty’s Rules and Tom Croydon from Blue Heelers. All of which is threaded with the uncertainty of an actor’s life; surviving on a six dollar a week scholarship at NIDA, being parted from his young family for months at a time due to filming to each lull in work that causes John’s sense of self worth to plummet. ‘On stage is where I feel most alive, Like the man himself, How I Clawed my Way to the Middle is engaged and sure of unpretentious, funny and charming.
