Extended Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (eFAST): A Comprehensive Strategy for Trauma Assessment
Abstract: Trauma is the principal cause of mortality in individuals under 45 years old, with 80% being due to blunt trauma and most deaths arising from hypovolemic shock. Intraperitoneal bleeding occurs in 12% of these cases, making swift identification of trauma critical. The ideal diagnostic test should be fast, accurate, and non-invasive. The adoption of point-of-care ultrasound has profoundly influenced the management and evaluation of trauma patients. This discussion outlines the …

Role of Application of SWCR Guidelines in Management of Right Trochanter Pressure Injury (PI)
Abstract: A pressure injury refers to the localized death of tissue resulting from sustained pressure on the skin and underlying tissues. This damage is often compounded by shear forces or direct trauma to the skin. While terms like “decubitus ulcer,” “bedsore,” and “pressure sore” are commonly used interchangeably, they fail to capture the complexity of the condition as accurately as the term “pressure injury” does. The term “decubitus” originates from Latin, …
