Did you miss this year’s Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma meeting? Don’t sweat it! Behind the Knife has got you covered. In this episode we discuss “Scientific Papers that Should Change Your Practice” with EAST manuscript and literature committee members Drs. Laura Brown (@laurarbrownMD), Brittany Bankhead (@bbankheadMD), and Julia Coleman (@juliacolemanMD). Universal blunt cerebrovascular screening? Early renal replacement therapy? Artificial intelligence in emergency general surgery? This episode is PACKED with high-yield material. To learn more about all the good things happening at EAST visit www.east.org. Papers discussed: 1. Do not forget the platelets: The independent impact of red blood cell to platelet ratio on mortality in massively transfused trauma patients (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35313325/) 2. The 35-mm rule to guide pneumothorax management: Increases appropriate observation and decreases unnecessary chest tubes (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35125448/) 3. Timing of thromboprophylaxis in patients with blunt abdominal solid organ injuries undergoing nonoperative management (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33048907/) 4.
