Is preinjury statin use associated with improved in-hospital survival in elderly trauma patients?
Preinjury statin use in elderly patients is associated with a significant survival benefit after major trauma, but only in patients without preexisting cardiovascular disease.
Capnography performed during short periods of HFJV discontinuation reliably and noninvasively reflects PaCO2 during prolonged endoscopic procedures. Capnography during HFJV for RBS may reduce the frequency of arterial blood gas sampling, the duration of unmonitored intervals and costs.
