MRI [n = 160 (93.6%)] and spinal surgery [n = 158 (92.4%)] should be performed after intracranial, hemodynamic, and respiratory stabilization by most respondents. Corticosteroids [n = 103 (60.2%)], ISP/SCPP monitoring [n = 148 (86.5%)], and therapeutic hypothermia [n = 137 (80%)] were not utilized by most respondents. Conclusions: Our survey has shown a great worldwide variability in clinical practices for acute phase management of tSCI patients with polytrauma.

An international cross-sectional survey among WSES members https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53232 WSES COVID-19 emergency surgery survey, a strong negative impact on emergency surgery (ES) had been described already early in the pandemic situation. However, the knowledge is limited about current effects of the pandemic on patient flow through emergency rooms, daily routine and decision making in ES as well as their changes over time during the last two pandemic years. This second WSES COVID-19 emergency surgery survey investigates the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on ES during the course of the pandemic. Methods: A web survey had been distributed to medical specialists in ES during a four-week period from January 2022, investigating the impact of the pandemic on patients and septic diseases both requiring ES, structural problems due to the pandemic and time-to-intervention in ES routine. Results: 367 collaborators from 59 countries responded to the survey. The majority indicated that the pandemic still significantly impacts on treatment and outcome of surgical emergency patients (83.1% and 78.5%, respectively). As reasons, the collaborators reported decreased case load in ES (44.7%), but patients presenting with more prolonged and severe diseases, especially concerning perforated appendicitis (62.1%) and diverticulitis (57.5%). Otherwise, approximately 50% of the participants still observe a delay in time-to-intervention in ES compared with the situation before the pandemic. Relevant causes leading to enlarged time-to-intervention in ES during the pandemic are persistent problems with in-hospital logistics, lacks in medical staff as well as operating room and intensive care capacities during the pandemic. This leads not only to the need for triage or transferring of ES patients to other hospitals, reported by 64.0% and 48.8% of the collaborators, respectively, but also to paradigm shifts in treatment modalities to non-operative approaches reported by 67.3% of the participants, especially in uncomplicated appendicitis, cholecystitis and multiple-recurrent diverticulitis. Conclusions: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic still significantly impacts on care and outcome of patients in ES. Well-known problems with in-hospital logistics are not sufficiently resolved by now; however, medical staff shortages and reduced capacities have been dramatically aggravated over last two pandemic years.]]> Tue 28 Nov 2023 10:23:18 AEDT ]]> Complicated intra-abdominal infections in a worldwide context: an observational prospective study (CIAOW Study) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20162 Tue 24 Aug 2021 14:24:33 AEST ]]> Enhanced perioperative care in emergency general surgery: the WSES position paper https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53960 Tue 23 Jan 2024 12:38:46 AEDT ]]> Minimally invasive surgery in emergency surgery: a WSES survey https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53010 15 years and 69.4% of responders worked in tertiary level center or academic hospital. In primary emergencies, only 28,7% of participants declared the use of laparoscopy in more than 50% of times. Personal confidence with minimally invasive techniques was the highest for appendectomy and cholecystectomy. At multivariate ordinal regression, a longer professional experience, the use of laparoscopy in major elective surgery and bariatric surgery expertise were related to a higher use of laparoscopy in emergency surgery. Conclusions: The survey shows that minimally invasive techniques in emergency surgery are still underutilized. Greater focus should be placed on the development of dedicated training in laparoscopy among emergency surgeons.]]> Tue 07 Nov 2023 15:20:38 AEDT ]]> Acute mesenteric ischemia: guidelines of the World Society of Emergency Surgery https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33960 Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:23:27 AEST ]]> Follow-up strategies for patients with splenic trauma managed non-operatively: the 2022 World Society of Emergency Surgery consensus document https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52069 Thu 28 Sep 2023 08:52:42 AEST ]]> Early Management of Isolated Severe Traumatic Brain Injury Patients in a Hospital Without Neurosurgical Capabilities: a Consensus and Clinical Recommendations of the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50490 Thu 27 Jul 2023 09:04:33 AEST ]]> Cesena guidelines: WSES consensus statement on laparoscopic-first approach to general surgery emergencies and abdominal trauma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53987 Thu 25 Jan 2024 13:05:36 AEDT ]]> Management of complicated diaphragmatic hernia in the acute setting: a WSES position paper https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52642 Thu 19 Oct 2023 15:19:52 AEDT ]]> Surgeons’ perspectives on artificial intelligence to support clinical decision-making in trauma and emergency contexts: results from an international survey https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53750 Thu 11 Jan 2024 12:14:38 AEDT ]]> Source control in emergency general surgery: WSES, GAIS, SIS-E, SIS-A guidelines https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52816 Mon 30 Oct 2023 08:44:26 AEDT ]]> ECLAPTE: Effective Closure of LAParoTomy in Emergency-2023 World Society of Emergency Surgery guidelines for the closure of laparotomy in emergency settings https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53425 Mon 27 Nov 2023 11:39:33 AEDT ]]> Diagnosis and treatment of acute appendicitis: 2020 update of the WSES Jerusalem guidelines https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39172 Mon 23 May 2022 14:24:28 AEST ]]> Antimicrobials: a global alliance for optimizing their rational use in intra-abdominal infections (AGORA) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23168 Mon 11 Mar 2019 12:10:12 AEDT ]]> 2016 WSES guidelines on acute calculous cholecystitis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30269 Mon 11 Mar 2019 12:09:34 AEDT ]]> Assessing and managing frailty in emergency laparotomy: a WSES position paper https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52278 Mon 09 Oct 2023 10:02:36 AEDT ]]> WSES guidelines on blunt and penetrating bowel injury: diagnosis, investigations, and treatment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48214 Mon 08 May 2023 15:01:32 AEST ]]> 2023 WSES guidelines for the prevention, detection, and management of iatrogenic urinary tract injuries (IUTIs) during emergency digestive surgery https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53008 Mon 06 Nov 2023 11:06:42 AEDT ]]> WSES consensus conference guidelines: monitoring and management of severe adult traumatic brain injury patients with polytrauma in the first 24 hours https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45160 Fri 28 Oct 2022 11:23:16 AEDT ]]> Early management of adult traumatic spinal cord injury in patients with polytrauma: a consensus and clinical recommendations jointly developed by the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) & the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54924 Fri 22 Mar 2024 09:32:42 AEDT ]]> Time for a paradigm shift in shared decision-making in trauma and emergency surgery?
