How can we ensure the best outcomes for the trauma victim? The two most common causes of traumatic deaths and major sequelae are blood loss and neurological injuries, which account for two-thirds of trauma-related deaths. Hemorrhagic shock is an important cause of organ failure and late mortality, and 50% of early deaths (within the first 24 hours) due to trauma are due to bleeding. Regarding trauma resuscitation, significant changes have been achieved in the last three decades, resulting in substantial improvement in survival. However, blood loss is still the leading cause of death in the first 24 hours in hospital. Nowadays, optimal goals in resuscitation with fluids and blood products represent a hot debate. Permissive hypotension is increasingly recommended because high-volume fluid resuscitation may increase trauma-related bleeding, organ failure, and mortality. New agents such as tranexamic acid also offer life-saving opportunities. This book explores new advances in the struggle to save lives in trauma resuscitation.

Recognition and Management of Supraventricular Arrhythmias and Atrial Fibrillation in the Acute Setting

By Özgür Karcıoğlu

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a type of tachyarrhythmia with a narrow QRS complex and regular rhythm. These patients are often symptomatic and present to the emergency department (ED) due to acute attacks called paroxysmal SVT. Attacks of SVT start suddenly with the reentry mechanism in most patients. Anginal chest pain and dyspnea occur in patients due to tachycardia. Vagal manoeuvers and adenosine is the treatments of choice for termination of SVT. In multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT), at least three different P wave morphologies are observed in the ECG, along with variable PP, PR and RR intervals. Treatment is to correct the underlying disease. Patients with atrial flutter (AFl) tend to come to the ED with unstable findings. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the term used to define the inactive ‘worm bag-like’ oscillations of the atria, with an absence of true atrium contraction. Ruling out atrial or ventricular thrombi with echocardiography is important to avoid embolization. Priority should be given to hemodynamic stability and the determination of factors triggering the underlying disease. IV beta-blocker and diltiazem can be used for rate control in AF with rapid ventricular response.
