    Abstract Abstract: Blunt cardiac injury (BCI) encompasses a wide spectrum, from occult and inconsequential contusion to rapidly fatal cardiac rupture. A small percentage of patients present with abnormal electrocardiogram or shock, but most are initially asymptomatic. The potential for sudden dysrhythmia or cardiac pump failure mandates consideration of the presence of BCI, including appropriate monitoring and management. In this review, we will present what you need to know to diagnose and manage BCI.

    Abstract Over the past few years, there is increasing evidence implicating a novel role for Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase (IAP) in mitigating inflammatory mediated disorders. IAP is an endogenous protein expressed by the intestinal epithelium that is believed to play a vital role in maintaining gut homeostasis. Loss of IAP expression or function is associated with increased intestinal inflammation, dysbiosis, bacterial translocation and subsequently systemic inflammation. As these events are a cornerstone of the pathophysiology of many diseases relevant to surgeons, we sought to review recent research in both animal and humans on IAP's physiologic function, mechanisms of action and current research in specific surgical diseases.

    Abstract Background: Recently, perioperative transfusions were demonstrated to be associated with higher rate of surgical site infections (SSIs) in neonates. We sought to examine whether a similar relationship exists between perioperative blood transfusions and SSI among non-neonatal pediatric general surgical patients.
    Methods: We conducted an IRB-approved retrospective study reviewing non-neonatal patients (age greater than 28days and less than 18years) who underwent a general or thoracic surgical procedure in 2012, 2013, 2014, in the American College of Surgeons National Safety and Quality Improvement Project-Pediatric (ACS-NSQIP-P) Participant User Files. We used Chi-square analyses to perform a bivariate analysis comparing proportions of SSI's between patients who received blood transfusion to those who did not. Multiple logistic regression analyses compared the odds of SSIs in transfused versus nontransfused patients controlling for organ failure, steroid use, nutritional status, current infection, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Physical Status classification, and wound classification.
    Results: There were 55,133 patients with 1779 patients who received blood transfusion (≥25ml/kg body weight) during or within 72h of surgery. Bivariate analysis showed at least twice the rate of infection in transfused patients compared to nontransfused patients (p<0.01): superficial SSI 3.5% vs 1.5%; deep SSI 0.8% vs 0.2%, organ space SSI 3.8% vs 1.6%; deep dehiscence 2% vs 0.3%. Total wound infections and dehiscence for transfused patients were 10.5% vs 3.8% in nontransfused patients (p<0.01). Multiple regression analysis showed that nutritional issue, current infection, and wounds not classified as "clean" have statistically significant correlation with SSI. Although there was significant interaction between ASA and transfusion (p<0.0001), we found statistically significant associations between transfusions and SSI for ASA class 1-2 (OR=5.51, 95% CI 3.47-7.52), ASA class 3 (OR=2.06, 95% CI 1.63-2.61), and ASA class 4-5 (OR=1.67, 95% CI 1.15-2.42).
    Conclusion: In non-newborn pediatric general and thoracic surgery patients, transfusions were associated with higher risk of SSI or wound dehiscence. Although there was a significant interaction between ASA and transfusion, OR for SSI was stronger for lower ASA classes.
    Type of study: Retrospective Review.
    Level of evidence: II.

    Abstract Purpose: Enteral nutrition is associated with improved outcomes in acute pancreatitis (AP), but previous studies have not focused on critically-ill patients. Our purpose was to determine the association between nutritional support and infectious complications in ICU-admitted patients with AP.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients with AP admitted in ICUs of 127 US hospitals from the eICU Collaborative were included. Patients were classified by type (initial and any use) of nutritional support they received: none (NN); oral (ON); enteral (EN); and parenteral nutrition (PN).
    Results: 925 patients were identified. Length of stay was longer in the initial PN group (PN 21.3 ± 15.4 d, EN 19.1 ± 20.1 d, ON 8 ± 7.1 d, NN 6.6 ± 6.3 d, p < 0.001) and mortality was more common in the initial EN group (EN 16.7%, PN 8.9%, ON 2.7%, NN 10.9%, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis found any EN use to be associated with infections (OR 2.12, 95% CI: 1.13-3.98, p = 0.019) and pneumonias (OR 2.04, 95% CI: 1.04-4.03, p = 0.039).
    Conclusion: EN was associated with an increased risk for pneumonias and overall infections in critically-ill patients with AP. More studies are needed to assess optimal nutritional approaches in critically-ill AP patients and patients who do not tolerate EN.

    Abstract Central venous catheters are often necessary in the pediatric population. Access may be challenging, and each vessel presents its own unique set of risks and complications. Central venous catheterization is useful for hemodynamic monitoring, rapid fluid infusion, and administration of hyperosmolar medications, including vasopressors, antibiotics, chemotherapy, and parenteral nutrition. Recent advances have improved the catheters used as well as techniques for insertion. A serious complication of central access is infection, which is associated with morbidity, mortality, and significant financial costs. Reduction of catheter-related bloodstream infections is realized with use of ethanol locks, single lumens when appropriate, and prudent adherence to insertion and maintenance bundles. Ultrasound guidance used for central venous catheter placement improves accuracy of placement, reducing time and unsuccessful insertion and complication rates. Patients with central venous catheters are best served by multidisciplinary team involvement.

    Abstract Purpose: The initial approach to complicated appendicitis in children has become increasingly nonoperative, particularly when there is presumed perforation and a localized abscess. We extended the indications for nonoperative management to include most cases other than simple appendicitis, including those with diffuse peritoneal involvement. We evaluated outcomes and sought to identify factors at the time of hospital admission that predicted an extended length of stay (LOS) with this strategy.
    Methods: The records of 223 consecutive children who were managed nonoperatively for complicated appendicitis were reviewed. A conservative approach was typically pursued in those with an abscess, phlegmon, or free fluid on initial imaging studies, and diffuse tenderness, diarrhea, or significant leukocytosis after 2 days of symptoms. Interval appendectomies were performed selectively.
    Results: The average LOS was 5.6 days (1-38), but nine subjects had a LOS of greater than 14 days. Eleven (4.9 %) required appendectomy during the initial admission. Free fluid on admission imaging studies, present in 78 % of those with an extended LOS, [odds ratio (OR) 5.5], in addition to a requirement for early nasogastric drainage (OR 24.2) and a higher band count (19 vs 15 %), was significantly associated with an extended LOS.
    Conclusions: An expansion of the indications for nonoperative management of complicated appendicitis yielded an acceptable average LOS and a low incidence of early appendectomy. However, a small subset of subjects had an extended LOS, and most of those had free peritoneal fluid on admission.

    Abstract Background: Balanced blood component administration during massive transfusion is standard of care. Most literature focuses on the impact of red blood cell (RBC)/fresh frozen plasma (FFP) ratio, while the value of balanced RBC:platelet (PLT) administration is less established. The aim of this study was to evaluate and quantify the independent impact of RBC:PLT on 24-hour mortality in trauma patients receiving massive transfusion.
    Methods: Using the 2013 to 2018 American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program database, adult patients who received massive transfusion (≥10 U of RBC/24 hours) and ≥1 U of RBC, FFP, and PLT within 4 hours of arrival were retrospectively included. To mitigate survival bias, only patients with consistent RBC:PLT and RBC:FFP ratios between 4 and 24 hours were analyzed. Balanced FFP or PLT transfusions were defined as having RBC:PLT and RBC:FFP of ≤2, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression was used to compare the independent relationship between RBC:FFP, RBC:PLT, balanced transfusion, and 24-hour mortality.
    Results: A total of 9,215 massive transfusion patients were included. The number of patients who received transfusion with RBC:PLT >2 (1,942 [21.1%]) was significantly higher than those with RBC:FFP >2 (1,160 [12.6%]) (p < 0.001). Compared with an RBC:PLT ratio of 1:1, a gradual and consistent risk increase was observed for 24-hour mortality as the RBC:PLT ratio increased (p < 0.001). Patients with both FFP and PLT balanced transfusion had the lowest adjusted risk for 24-hour mortality. Mortality increased as resuscitation became more unbalanced, with higher odds of death for unbalanced PLT (odds ratio, 2.48 [2.18-2.83]) than unbalanced FFP (odds ratio, 1.66 [1.37-1.98]), while patients who received both FFP and PLT unbalanced transfusion had the highest risk of 24-hour mortality (odds ratio, 3.41 [2.74-4.24]).
    Conclusion: Trauma patients receiving massive transfusion significantly more often have unbalanced PLT rather than unbalanced FFP transfusion. The impact of unbalanced PLT transfusion on 24-hour mortality is independent and potentially more pronounced than unbalanced FFP transfusion, warranting serious system-level efforts for improvement.
