The next issue of Trauma MedEd will be sent out to subscribers at the end of the week, and will cover a whole bunch of what I call Potpourri. These are some tidbits that I find fascinating and sometimes odd.
Topics will include:
Trauma and the gut microbiome
“Single look trauma laparotomy” (as opposed to damage control laparotomy) and postop complications
Pneumothorax: how big is too big?
The best prehospital stretchers for rapid extraction in MCIs
and more!
I’ve pushed the solid organ injury update issue out to next month. There’s a lot of stuff to cover, and quite a few changes have occurred over the years.
