Brain TV (Tissue Velocimetry) for Emergency Assessment of Acquired Brain Injury
Acquired Brain InjuryTraumatic Brain Injury1 moreThis study uses a Doppler ultrasound technique being developed at the University of Leicester called 'Brain Tissue Velocimetry" (Brain TV), to investigate brain tissue motion over the cardiac cycle.
Acute Kidney Injury and Renal Outcomes for COVID-19 Patients in Intensive Care Units
on Occurrence of Acurate Kidney Injury During Intensive Care UnitAbnormalities of Urinary AnalysisThe actual COVID-19 epidemy is an unprecedented healthcare problem. Although acute respiratory distress syndrome is the main organ failure, acute kidney injury (AKI) has appeared to be more frequent and more severe than expected. Some data suggested a potential direct renal tropism of the virus, or undirect injury by "cytokine storm". The aims of this study are: To describe incidence, severity and mortality associated with AKI during covid-19 infection in ICU To identify specific risk factors for AKI To explore pathophysiologic mechanism of AKI during COVID-19 infection
Evaluation of Patient Analgesia After Bloc Serratus
Thorax TraumasThorax traumas are very common in severe traumatology, including road accidents, representing the second most frequent site (after head injury, according to the FIRST study). These thoracic lesions are the cause of many complications (pneumothorax, hemothorax, lung infections, atelectasis). The national recommendations recommend the use of multi-modal analgesia with the use of regional loco anaesthesia for pain management and prevention of respiratory complications, including infectious complications. The loco-regional anaesthesia of choice is thoracic epidural or paravertebral block, but these techniques are not without risks, and are contraindicated in many situations (severe head trauma, patient under curative anticoagulation, pelvic trauma...). The anterior Serratus block appears to be a quality localoregional anaesthesia in thoracic surgery, and a few cases in the literature have shown an interest in severe traumatology. The investigators perform this anterior Serratus block almost systematically in patients with thoracic trauma in the Hautepierre surgical intensive care unit.
Are Alterations in Shoulder Rotations and Core Stability Effective for Water Polo Shoulder Problems?...
Shoulder InjuriesSport Injury1 moreHypothesis of the clinical study: There are differences between the Water Polo Group and the Non-Water Polo Group in terms of shoulder parameters and core (lumbopelvic) parameters and there are differences between the throwing and non-throwing sides in terms of shoulder parameters in Water Polo Group.
Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Trauma-related Coagulopathy
Trauma Induced CoagulopathyBleeding control often poses a great challenge for clinicians due to trauma-induced blood clotting disorder (TIC), a condition that is present in one-third of bleeding trauma patients. As platelets are considered as central mediators in TIC, the understanding of mitochondria-mediated processes in thrombocytes may disclose new therapeutic targets in the management of severely injured patients. The investigators hypothesize that mitochondrial dysfunction occurs in the platelets of trauma patients with TIC. The investigators intend to quantitatively characterize the derangements of mitochondrial functions in TIC; and assess the relation between mitochondrial respiration and clinical markers of platelet function
Evaluation of Professional Practices in the Management of Blunt Abdominal Trauma in Children in...
Blunt Abdominal Trauma in ChildrenIdentifying Intra Abdominal InjuriesThe aim of our study is primarily to evaluate the professional practices over the last years in the pediatric emergencies of the Nancy's Hospital for the BATiC. This, in order to identify the traumatic mechanisms and the initial clinical elements which would make it possible to detect the patients at low risk of developing visceral lesions. Then, a management could be proposed which would rationalize the use of additional examinations and would favor the monitoring and the clinical reassessment after the initial management of a minor trauma. The study of the data will then aim to establish a composite score (anamnestic and clinical) of initial evaluation, from which could result a uniform management protocol (clinical, biological and imaging) of the minor BATiC, of the intermediate BATiC and the major BATiC, applicable to pediatric emergencies at the Nancy's Hospital.
Urological Injuries During Obstetric and Gynecological Operations
Urologic InjuriesIatrogenic urinary tract injuries are more common during obstetric and gynaecological procedures averaging 2.6 per 1000 surgeries . The objective of the study is to estimate the incidence of iatrogenic urinary tract injuries and risk factors during obstetric and gynaecological operations. Embryologically, the urinary system and genital system have a common origin, so anatomically they are so close that predisposes to iatrogenic trauma to it during obstetric and gynaecological operations. The bladder and distal ureters are the most commonly involved organs. The bladder is a retroperitoneal structure, its trigone rests over the anterior vaginal fornix and the base rests on lower uterine segment and cervix.
Chest Trauma :Prediction of Thoracic Injuries Clinically and Radiologically
Chest TraumaFluid Balance; Disorder• Trauma is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite the advent of specialized trauma centers the outcome of patients who sustain major trauma remains disappointing. Plain radiography and more advanced imaging techniques such as ultrasound, computerised tomography (CT) and angiography, have a major role to play in the early decision making and subsequent management of patients who sustain polytrauma. This article discusses the choice of emergency imaging techniques available in chest trauma for clinicians and radiologists; their evaluation and some of the common pitfalls that may lead to errors of interpretation.
Pilot Study of Targeted Normoxia in Critically Ill Trauma Patients
TraumaCritical Illness1 moreThe objective of this study is to conduct an observational pre/post study to evaluate the clinical impact oxygen guideline implementation on oxygen utilization and oxygenation in critically ill trauma patients.
Cronic Pressure Wounds and Relation With Gender
WoundThere is no exact scientfic data about gender relationship with cronic pressure wounds (CPW). This research is aimed first to reveal gender relationship with CPW and aimed secondarily to reveal the gender related couse(es).
