We’ve noted the same here, Karim Brohi . 1997 publications showed it at 65%, we showed in 2007 that MTPs dropped it to 50%, PROMMTT 2013 just under 30%, PROPPR 2016 in the low-mid 20% range. Now we are seeing it 18-20%. Strong work around the 🌎 on this! 👊🩸👊🩸UTHealthACS

Awesome panel session Pediatric Trauma Soc on pediatric major vascular injuries! When was the last time an adult vascular surgeon attended #PTS? It was great to have multiple perspectives on these challenging injuries!

This explores the effects of prehospital blood on expected mortality and survival in trauma patients. Prehospital blood improves the arrival hemodynamics of injured patients, which may cause higher expected survival rates, despite being more injured. journals.lww.com/jtrauma/abstra…

It is reported statins are associated with 82% decline in venous thromboembolism in trauma patients. Statins could be an adjunctive therapy for venous thromboembolism chemoprophylaxis after traumatic injury. Kelly Sanders Jessica Cardenas journals.lww.com/jtrauma/abstra…

Great talk by ⁦Bryan Cotton⁩ and closing by ⁦Mike Van Gent⁩ at Southern Surgical Association showing the impact and sustainability of door to cooler times for MTP activations for trauma of less than 8 minutes.

Nice presentation from UT Houston group on patients who refused randomization for their previous SSRF RCT in non-flail rib fxs No benefit to SSRF But - no pain or resp dysfunction component to pt selection. Don’t choose just on anatomy? #wta2025 WesternTrauma CWIS

My advice to graduating #pedsurgbestsurg fellows- join a practice where your partners support you no matter what! If you get breast cancer your first year, they won't only take your call, they'll shave their heads! Good luck finding that though, nobody is like UT Pediatric Surgery!
