Firework related injuries (FWRIs) have been rising throughout the country since 2012. Here, we describe injury trends and patterns in patients with FWRIs. The trauma registry at Desert Regional Medical Center's Level I Trauma Center was queried from July 2016 to August 2021. Injury patterns and procedures performed were reviewed. The data were reviewed, and a description of the most common injury types and the association between FWRIs and holiday celebrations, alcohol use, and toxicology results is presented. Ten patients were identified for inclusion during the study period. Fifty percent of the patients were found to be under the influence of alcohol, and 40% had other substances on board. The most common drug found was methamphetamine, accounting for 30% of patients. Ninety percent of patients suffered injuries to hands. Fifty percent of the injured patients presented around the time of either New Year's or Independence Day celebrations. Neither holiday and alcohol use nor toxicology results were associated with differences in Injury Severity Score. Patients with injuries related to fireworks are presenting to our nation's emergency rooms at an increasing rate. In this descriptive case series, we found that hand injuries are the most common, followed by face injuries. Most patients had either alcohol or drugs on board at the time of presentation. Findings from this paper will help trauma programs prepare for the presentation of these patients and design outreach programs and future research.</p>","PeriodicalId":15692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergencies, Trauma, and Shock","volume":"18 4","pages":"189-193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12788740/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145952126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initially developed for wartime trauma, DCS principles have been adapted to emergency colorectal surgery, emphasizing rapid contamination control, physiological stabilization, and staged surgical repair. This case series highlights the role of bailout laparotomy in managing life-threatening colorectal emergencies. This series presents seven patients aged 24-76 years, undergoing emergency colorectal surgery for varied conditions such as perforation (self-foreign body insertion and trauma), volvulus, malignant obstruction and inflammatory diseases. Surgical interventions included primary repair, Hartmann's procedure, diversion stomas, and tumor biopsy with decompression. Postoperative management focused on sepsis control and nutritional support, leading to favorable patient outcomes. Emergency colorectal surgery presents significant challenges due to the high risk of sepsis, hemodynamic instability, and complications associated with delayed treatment. DCS, particularly bailout laparotomy, prioritizes patient stabilization over immediate definitive repair, reducing intraoperative risks. This approach has demonstrated success in improving survival rates when minimizing postoperative morbidity care. Despite its advantages, DCS requires careful patient selection to avoid unnecessary staged interventions and prolonged hospitalizations. By allowing physiological stabilization before definitive repair, this approach enhances survival and reduces complications. The adaptation of wartime surgical principles to modern civilian practice underscores the evolving role of DCS in emergency gastrointestinal surgery.</p>","PeriodicalId":15692,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergencies, Trauma, and Shock","volume":"18 3","pages":"141-144"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12459929/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145149241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
