As the casualty progresses rearward along the medical evacuation chain, medical personnel must be ever vigilant in the early recognition of these complications. The U.S. Air Force, with its aeromedical evacuation responsibility, has a special interest and great experience in the recognition and treatment of these complications. During the Vietnam conflict, one of every six casualties with abdominal wounds removed from the air evacuation system at Clark Air Force Base required reoperation. Because of the severity of their abdominal wounds and the high frequency of associated injuries, these patients frequently present confusing findings The indications for reoperation are often not well defined. To make matters even more difficult, these complica tions may not develop until the postoperative patient arrives at a higher echelon hospital and comes under the care of surgeons who were not involved in the primary operation. On occasion, the medical records accompanying these patients may lack sufficient detail regarding the injury and the details of the first operative procedure to be helpful in subsequent evaluation. Given these circumstances, the surgeon must rely heavily on past experience for guidelines in reoperation of abdominal war wounds. The inherent problems of making a preoperative diagnosis in the most difficult group of patients should not deter an aggressive approach. This philosophy will prove much more rewarding than procrastination. Practical points gained from such experience follow.","PeriodicalId":135277,"journal":{"name":"The Surgical clinics of North America","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126258761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Starvation or malnutrition need no longer be accepted as a necessary component of prolonged illness. Though current TPN techniques can be both safe and effective, the prevention of potential complications must always have a high priority. Changes in technique are to be anticipated as further knowledge and improved materials allow the pursuit of more basic clinical problems. The recent experience with the use of high caloric TPN solutions for prolonged gastrointestinal failure in 73 patients at the Loyola University Medical Center has been summarized. The need for the involvement of an experienced TPN team in the care of these patients cannot be overemphasized if the numerous and diverse potential complications of the TPN system are to be minimized.","PeriodicalId":135277,"journal":{"name":"The Surgical clinics of North America","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130539576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When in doubt, access to a Trauma Registry (computerized) can be exceedingly valuable to assist in selecting the most effective treatment for a given clinical problem. The evaluation of the patient centers about general metabolic considerations, including acid-base disequilibrium, respiratory insufficiency, fluid volume monitoring, tissue perfusion (urine output), and osmolality. Diagnostic efforts to identify organ injury include infusion pyelography, paracentesis, radionuclide scanning, and angiography. The most critical diagnostic evaluation, however, remains frequent, careful examination of the injured patient, meticulously noting and interpreting all changes in physical findings.","PeriodicalId":135277,"journal":{"name":"The Surgical clinics of North America","volume":"211 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1975-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116146052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
