Objective: Globally, trauma is one of the leading cause of mortality and morbidity. Kidney is an organ that is often affected in trauma cases in urology. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of cases of kidney trauma treated in Hasan Sadikin Bandung Hospital, and used as part of the database of urogenital trauma in Indonesia. Material & Methods: The secondary data was derived from the medical records of patients with kidney trauma treated at Department of Urology in Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung for 5 years period (January 2013 to August 2017), as many as 130 cases. Information used was patients’ gender, mechanism of trauma, grading of kidney trauma, associated injury, management, shock, and outcome after treatment. The data obtained was subsequently recapitulated and processed using a spreadsheet. Results: A total 20489 trauma cases admission in Hasan Sadikin Hospital, 477 cases (2.33%) were urogenital trauma, and 130 of which are cases of kidney trauma (0.63%). The majority of patients with kidney trauma are male (87.7%). Based on the mechanism of trauma, 80% of them were related to traffic accidents, especially in motorcycle traffic accidents, as well as the trauma mechanism of falling from a height (13%). There were 69 patients (53.1%) who had major kidney trauma, and 61 patients (46.9%) had minor kidney trauma; specifically, 42.3% grade I and 21.5% grade V kidney trauma. In general, kidney trauma patients experienced multiple trauma, only 19 cases (14.6%) had not associated injury. Most of patients (63%) did not experience shock, and 87.75% of patients survived after treatment. In the timespan of 5 years, 44 patients underwent McAnninch procedure. Conclusion: In Hasan Sadikin Hospital, most cases of kidney trauma were experienced by men, and were caused by blunt trauma in traffic accidents, especially on motorcyclists.

Background: The emergency department (ED) is a complex environment presenting unique challenges for high-risk populations such as critically ill patients who often require the use of high-risk medications. One study suggests that clinical pharmacists (CPs) may improve the fulfillment of safety goals for the ED patient as per the Joint International Commission. Some published reports have asserted that ED-based CPs would have the potential to increase patient safety. In our hospital, the number of CPs covering the ED increased from 2 to 9 starting from November 2019. Methods: This is a retrospective audit covering the period from January 1st 2019 till October 25th 2020 at Hamad General Hospital (HGH) in Doha, Qatar, to determine the impact of increasing the number of CPs covering the ED on the number of identified, solved, and documented drug related problems (DRPs) on the electronic medical records of ED patients. The interventions retrieved from pharmacy reports were analyzed and evaluated in terms of numbers by classification and percentages by the investigators. Results: A total number of 8,946 interventions covering 6,284 patients were carried out in 2020 compared with 1,515 interventions covering 1,001 patients in 2019 which represents a 6-fold increment by increasing the CPs from 2 to 9. Even the detection of adverse drug reactions increased by 1.5 times with only 38 documented in 2019 compared to 64 in 2020. Classifications and quantities of interventions were also analyzed in detail. Conclusion: This audit demonstrates that pharmaceutical intervention can positively contribute to the identification and resolution of DRPs. The benefit of CP involvement in patient care was observed based on the number of interventions that occurred. Studies are needed to assess the impact of those interventions on patients’ outcomes and cost effectiveness.

ABSTRACT Objectives To describe the results of a systematic, rapid, and effective method of communication for the definitive treatment of patients with severe traumatic bleeding. Materials and methods The Red Wave was developed to improve communication between the emergency department and other strategical processes and to reduce the time from the arrival of severe traumatic hemorrhagic patient to a definitive treatment in the operating room. On admission, the traumatized patient is seen by the nursing staff in the Red Room, who trigger a general bell indicating the arrival of a severe trauma patient. The surgeon activates the red bell, which triggers an audible and visual alarm at strategic sectors of the hospital: operating center, transfusional agency, and laboratory, each one with its established sub-protocol. We defined as goals that the patient must arrive at the operating room in a maximum of 15 minutes after the Red Wave activation, with availability of blood and plasma in 20 minutes and blood tests collected at the same time. A light panel located in the surgical center turns off at each completed step, recording their time-responses. Results From June through December 2015, we admitted 831 trauma patients in the Red Room of Hospital do Suburbio, predominantly young (67.9% younger than 40 years old) and male (77.5%). Blunt trauma was the predominant mechanism (79.2%), and the majority of patients had an revised trauma score (RTS) calculated at admission greater than 7 (86.5%). We also evaluated, from September through December 2015, the attendance of 96 patients admitted with a diagnosis of hemorrhagic traumatic shock. The Red Wave was triggered in 39.6% of these cases. Gunshot wounds were the most frequent mechanism of trauma (86.5%), with a survival rate of 56.8%. The goals for time-responses were met in most of the cases, with correctness of 81.6% for the patient arrival at the operating room, 81.6% for laboratory sampling, and 86.8% for blood and plasma availability by the transfusion agency. Conclusion The Red Wave proved to be an effective protocol to systematize the initial treatment of patients with severe traumatic bleeding, improving communication between the strategic sectors involved, reducing the time-response of each service and making the definitive treatment of these patients faster and suitable.

Substitution is still a threat to the failure of ARV therapy so that no matter how small it must be noted and monitored in ARV therapy. The aims  was analysis risk factor substitution ARV first line in therapy ARV. This study was an analytic longitudinal study with retrospective secondary data analysis in a cohort of patients receiving ARV therapy at the District General Hospital of Buleleng District for the period of 2006-2015 and secondary data from medical records of PLHA patients receiving ART.  Result in this study that the percentage of first-line ARV substitution events is 9.88% (119/1204) who received ARV therapy for the past 11 years. Risk factors that increase the risk of substitution in ARV therapy patients are zidovudine (aOR 4.29 CI 1.31 -2.65 p 0.01), nevirapine (aOR1.86 CI 2.15 - 8.59 p 0.01) and functional working status (aOR 1.46 CI 1.13 - 1.98 p 0.01).

The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors of serious fall-related injuries by analyzing the differences between two fall groups: one with serious fall-related injuries and one without such injuries. Applying a retrospective, descriptive investigation study design, we analyzed the degree of fall-related injury and the risk factors related to serious falls by conducting a complete survey of the medical records of fall patients reported throughout one full year, 2017, at a tertiary hospital in Seoul, Korea. Among the patients with reported falls, 188 sustained no injury (63.1%), 72 sustained minor injury (24.2%), and 38 patients sustained serious injury (12.8%). The serious fall-related injuries included eight lacerations requiring suture (2.7%), 23 fractures (7.7%), five brain injuries (1.7%), and two deaths (0.7%). Analysis results indicated that taking anticoagulants/antiplatelet drugs (p = 0.016) and having a fall history (p = 0.038) were statistically significant in the differences between the group with serious injury related to falls and the group without serious injury. Logistic regression revealed that taking anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs was the factor most significantly correlated with serious injuries related to falls (OR = 2.299, p = 0.022). Results show that it is necessary to develop a patient-tailored fall prevention activity program.
