Emanuele Lagazzi discussing #SSRF in those with #traumaticbraininjury at the #CWISummit2023 Great presentation! Definitely requirements for further research here with our polytrauma patients. CWIS

Like all kind of relationships, things are rarely linear. Is balanced transfusion in patients who are bleeding but not massively simply an overuse of precious blood products?

"Every physician & nurse knows well what it is: deeply connecting with the patient beyond learned compassion techniques and “owning” their care. For many, this connectedness is one of the few things that make the hardship of taking care of ill patients worth it." #Ptconnectedness

Our humanitarian work SurgiBox has been featured in Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) news news.mit.edu/2023/bringing-… for our trip to #Ukraine this March 2023 in aid mission with MedGlobal with Dr. Emanuele Lagazzi, MD and Dr. Michael Samotowka.

In a TQIP-based propensity-matched analysis, patients with TBI & multiple rib fractures undergoing rib fixation showed decreased mortality & longer hospital and ICU lengths of stay. These findings suggest a role for SSRF in TBI #SoMe4Trauma #SoMe4Surgery journals.lww.com/jtrauma/Fullte…

Interpretable machine learning methodologies are powerful tools to diagnose and remedy system-related bias in care, such as disparities in access to postinjury rehabilitation care. ja.ma/3P8Sdjc Haytham Kaafarani Dimitris Bertsimas Anthony Gebran @LMaurerMD

Can Artificial Intelligence diagnose & remedy, instead of consolidate, racial disparities in care? Check out our new publication in JAMA Surgery to learn about our new AI model addressing disparities in Trauma. Work led by Haytham Kaafarani & Dimitris Bertsimas and the phenomenal MGH/MIT crew.

In patients with multiple rib fractures and concomitant traumatic brain injury early SSRF is associated with a significant decrease in hospital LOS, ICU LOS, days of mechanical ventilation, and tracheostomy rates compared to late SSRF #SoMe4Trauma journals.lww.com/jtrauma/fullte…

Thank you Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery for giving us the honor of the best paper this month ! It’s a humbling to share it with Dias Argandykov, MD and my colleagues at Mass General Surgery . We believe this approach will give a far better alternative to per cutaneous chole tubes!

Enjoyed being back in my “home” #BeanTown #Boston as combined Mass General Surgery Mass General Cancer Center Visiting Professor. ❤️seeing old friends & mentors, as well as spending time with next generation of #surgical #leaders. Big 🙏 to Dr. Lillemoe for being as kind & gracious as always. 🎁
