Trauma: Multisystem Injury

In this chapter the essential aspects of anesthesia for multisystemic trauma injury are explored. The patient in the case requires open reduction internal fixation of a closed right humerus fracture sustained in a motor vehicle accident. Subtopics discussed include the Focused Assessment by Sonography in Trauma (FAST) survey, Glasgow Coma Scale, massive blood transfusion protocol, and shock. The chapter is divided into preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative sections with important subtopics related to the main topic in each section. Topics related to preoperative evaluation include assessment using the FAST survey and Glasgow Coma Scale. Intraoperative topics include anesthetic management and dealing with shock and other complications. Postoperative management is also discussed.

Abstract:Bayesian inferencing as a machine learning technique was evaluated for identifying pre-crash activity and crash type from accident narratives describing 3,686 motor vehicle crashes. It was hypothesized that a Bayesian model could learn from a computer search for 63 keywords related to accident categories. Learning was described in terms of the ability to accurately classify previously unclassifiable narratives not containing the original keywords. When narratives contained keywords, the results obtained using both the Bayesian model and keyword search corresponded closely to expert ratings (P(detection)≥0.9, and P(false positive)≤0.05). For narratives not containing keywords, when the threshold used by the Bayesian model was varied between p>0.5 and p>0.9, the overall probability of detecting a category assigned by the expert varied between 67% and 12%. False positives correspondingly varied between 32% and 3%. These latter results demonstrated that the Bayesian system learned from the results of the keyword searches.
