Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To investigate the effects of intraoperative application of esketamine on post-operative anxiety and depression in burn patients undergoing escharectomy and skin grafting.Methods Seventy-three patients undergoing escharectomy and skin grafting were selected,46 males and 27 females,aged 18-64 years,BMI 18.5-27.9 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ.According to the random number table method,the patients were divided into two groups:esketamine group(group E,n=37)and control group(group C,n=36).Group E received a 0.2 mg/kg intravenous bolus of esketamine during anesthesia induction followed by a 0.1 mg·kg-1·h-1 continuous infusion until the end of surgery.Group C received an equal volume of normal saline.Patients in both groups received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)after surgery.The postoperative eye opening time,extubation time,PACU residence time,hospitalization and the number of effective compressions and total compressions of postoperative anal-gesia pumpand remediate analgesia after surgery were recorded.The self-rating anxiety scale(SAS),self-rating depression scale(SDS)and incidence of anxiety and depression were recorded 1 day before surgery,3 and 7 days after surgery.The occurrence of adverse reactions within 48 hours after surgery were also recor-ded.Results Compared with group C,the postoperative PACU residence time and hospitalization in group E were shortened(P＜0.05),the times of effective and total compressions and remediate analgesia after surgery in group E were decreased(P＜0.05),the scores of SAS and SDS and incidence of anxiety and depression at 3 and 7 days after surgery in group E were decreased(P＜0.05).There were no statistical differences in adverse reactions within 48 hours after surgery between the two groups.Conclusion Intraop-erative application of esketamine in burn patients undergoing escharectomy and skin grafting can improve postoperative anxiety and depression,reduce the usage of postoperative opioids and promote early recovery.

Objective To quantitatively compare the effect of preservation or removal of atlas posterior arch on cervical posterior decompression,so as to provide a basis for reasonable selection of upper cervical spine decompression range and determination of surgical indications for atlas posterior arch resection.Methods The data of 45 patients with posterior decompression of upper cervical spine were retrospectively analyzed.According to the decompression range,the patients were divided into C2-C7 group and C1-C7 group.There were 25 cases in the C2-C7 group,19 males and 6 females,with an average age of 56.3 years (40-71 years),4 cases of cervical spondylotic myelopathy and 21 cases of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of cervical spine.All of the 25 patients underwent open-door laminoplasty:20 cases with hinge side anchoring procedure and 5 cases with preservation of the unilateral posterior muscular-ligament complex procedure (titanium cable procedure).There were 20 cases in C1-C7 group,12 males and 8 females,with an average age of 58A years (44-75 years).All of the 20 cases underwent atlas posterior arch resection as well as C2-C7 open-door laminoplasty,including anchoring procedure in 1 case,titanium miniplate procedure in 4 cases,and titanium cable procedure in 15 cases.Standardized vertebral-cord distance (SVCD) at each level from atlas to level C~ was measured on T2-weighted images of MR on the mid-sagittal plane in the neutral position pedormed 3-12 months postoperatively at each individual level.As the main outcomes,the SVCD values obtained at the same level of the two groups were compared between the two groups.Shapiro-Wilk normality test was performed on the SVCD values at C1.2 and C2 levels of two groups.The area under the normal distribution curve of SVCDs was used to calculate the corresponding residual compression rate with different magnitude of compression mass to further discover the difference of the decompression effect between the two groups.Results The SVCD obtained at the level of the anterior arch of atlas (C1),the junction of odontoid process and axis (C1,2) and the middle part of axis body (C2) in the C2-C7 group was 9.91±1.34 mm,8.35±1.27 mm,and 8.22 ±1.43 mm,respectively.The SVCD at the same levels was 11.02±1.60 mm,9.72±1.24 mm,and 9.12±1.11 mm,respectively.SVCDs differed significantly in the above range between the two groups.However,from level C2,3 to C6,7,there was no significant difference in SVCDs between the two groups.The JOA score of group C2-C7 was 11.8±2.7 preoperatively and increased significantly to 14.7±1.8 at 12 months postoperatively(t=-7.006,P＜0.001) with a recovery rate of 57.0％±32.2％.The JOA score of group C1-C7 was 11.7±2.8 preoperatively and increased significantly to 14.2±2.3 at 12 months postoperatively(t=-6.177,P＜0.001) with a recovery rate of 51.9％±32.1％.Conclusion Atlas posterior arch resection can significantly increase the decompression effect of posterior cervical surgery from the anterior arch of atlas to the middle part of axis body,but it would not increase the decompression effect at level C2.3 or below.When the magnitude of the ventral compression factor exceeds the decompression limit (8.5 mm) available with C2-C7 decompression in the range from atlas to the middle of the axis body,extending the decompression range by atlas posterior arch resection is an effective means to achieve adequate decompression.

Objective To investigate whether the hyperintensity on T2?weighted MRI affects the outcome of cervical ar?throplasty (CA) for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). Methods 69 patients with CSM who had undergone CA between June 2005 and December 2007 were retrospectively reviewed. They were divided into three groups according to the intensity of T2?weighted images:Group A, whose intensity of T2?weighted images in spinal cord compression spot was equisignal;Group B, hyper?intensity with obscure border; Group C, hyperintensity with clear border. There were 22 males and 19 females in group A aged from 27 to 63 years old, whose duration of disease was between 3 to 72 months, and there were 34 single?segment cases, 5 double?segment and 2 triple?segment cases. There were 9 males and 9 females in group B aged from 30 to 61 years old whose duration of disease was between 3 to 24 months, and there were 12 single?segment and 6 double?segment cases. There were 4 males and 6 fe?males in group C aged from 28 to 56 years old whose duration of disease was between 1 to 24 months, and there were 8 single?seg?ment and 2 double?segment cases. Two types of artificial cervical disc were used:Bryan Disc in 42 cases and Prodisc?C in 44 cas?es. The duration of Group A (24.7 ± 27.9 months) was significantly longer than that in Group B (6.6 ± 7.4 months) and Group C (11.1±9.5 months). The follow?up period was from 48 to 86 months with an average time of 61 months. The preoperative X?ray and MR as well as postoperative X?ray were collected. The history, compress ratio of MRI, the ROM of cervical segments pre and post?operatively were recorded and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) was used to evaluate the neurological function. Results Preoperative compress ratio of MRI were 43.3%± 15.2%, 42.4%± 10.7%and 41.9%± 14.8%respectively;preoperative segmental ROM were 9.6°±2.5°, 9.0°±1.7° and 9.1°±1.9° respectively. Preoperative JOA score were 13.6±1.2, 13.1±1.3 and 12.9±1.8, re?spectively. Postoperative JOA score at the latest follow?up were 16.2±1.0, 15.8±1.2 and 15.7±1.6 respectively. There was no statis?tic difference among these groups. Preoperative increased signal intensify on T2?weighted MRI in patients with cervical spondylot?ic myelopathy may not affect the outcome of cervical arthroplasty.

Objective To analysis the correlation between patient selection and heterotopic ossification (HO) after cervical artificial disc replacement.Methods Data of 48 patients with cervical spondylosis (34 cervical spondylotic myelopathy and 14 nerve-root type) who had undergone Bryan cervicadisc replacement from December 2003 to December 2008 were reviewed retrospectively,and all the patients had been followed up for more than 5 years.There were 21 males and 27 females with an average age of 42 years old (range,20-53 years).There were 38 single level replacement (C3-4 3 cases,C4-5 5 cases,C5-6 28 cases,C6-7 2 cases),9 double level replacement (C4-5,C5 6 4 cases;C5-6,C6-7 5 cases) and 1 three level replacement (C3-4,C4 5,C5-6) as a total of 59 surgical segments.The occurrence of HO was defined by McAfee classification on cervical lateral X-ray.Four factors were used in patient selection including gender,range of motion (ROM) of the target level,alignment of the functional spine unit (FSU) of the index level,and the disc height ratio between surgical level and the adjacent levels.The correlation between these four factors and HO was evaluated by logistic regression.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the ROC curve were used to evaluate the significant result of logistic regression and the optimal diagnostic value.Results 48 patients were all followed up for an average period of 70.3 months (range,60-120 months).The occurrence rate in this study was 33.9％ (20/59 segments).Only one factor,the disc height ratio of the target level and its adjacent levels,presented statistical correlation with HO.ROC analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve of disc height ratio was 0.813 and the optimal diagnostic threshold was 0.9.Conclusion The disc height ratio of the target level and adjacent levels was the only patient selective factor correlated with the occurrence of HO.For those with disc height loss exceeding 10％ comparing to adjacent levels,it is not indicated for cervical artificial disc replacement with Bryan prosthesis.

OBJECTIVESTo investigate the effect of C(2-7) laminoplasty on postoperative anterior cord space (ACS) compared with C(3-7) laminoplasty, and to provide evidence for reasonable enlargement of decompression range cephalad.

METHODSFifty-seven Patients underwent cervical laminoplasty from February 2008 to October 2011 were studied retrospectively, which were divided into two groups by decompression range: Group C(3-7) and Group C(2-7). The pre-and post operative JOA scores,VAS scores of neek and shoulder pain, and cervical alignment were compared in each group. The postoperative ACS at each level from C(2-3) to C(7)-T(1) measured on MRI were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSThe postoperative JOA scores increased significantly in both groups. VAS scores and cervical alignment showed no significant difference. ACS at C(2-3) and C(3-4) was 6.13 mm (95%CI: 5.71-6.55) and 6.60 mm (95%CI: 6.10-7.11) respectively in Group C(3-7), which increased 2.5 mm and 2.1 mm respectively in Group C2-7 at the same segment, there was significant difference (P < 0.01). However, there was no significant difference of ACS at C(4-5) and any other caudal levels between the two groups.

CONCLUSIONSCompared with conventional C(3-7) laminoplasty, the extensive decompression cephalad to C(2) leads to larger ACS at C(2-3) and C(3-4). When the mid-sagittal diameter of anterior compression is more than 6.10 mm at C(3-4), C(3-7) laminoplasty may cause insufficient decompression, and enlargement of decompression range cephalad should be considered.

Objectives To investigate influencing factors and pattern of posterior shifting of the spinal cord after cervical laminoplasty.Methods Forty three patients with compressive cervical myelopathy,including 32 males and 11 females,aged from 33 to 78 years (average,57.9 years),treated with open-door laminoplasty from C3 to C7 between February 2008 and October 2010,were enrolled in this study.There were 30 cases of cervical spondylotic myelopathy with developmental cervical stenosis and 13 cases of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament.Twenty one cases underwent modified open-door laminoplasty using anchor method,and the other 22 cases underwent laminoplasty with preservation of the unilateral muscular ligament complex.According to midsagittal T2-weighted MRI in the neutral position,several parameters indicating shift distance of the spinal cord and dural sac were measured at each level before operation and at 3 months after operation:shift of anterior margin of the spinal cord (SAMSC),shift of posterior margin of the spinal cord (SPMSC),shift of anterior margin of the dural sac (SAMDS) and shift of posterior margin of the dural sac (SPMDS).The line connecting the top of dens and posterior inferior angle of T1 was defined as E line and the length was E.The length of perpendicular line from each base point to E line was Px (x =1-6).The parameter (100×Px/E) was used to represent local curvature at each level,and the curvature index (CI)was used to represent the global curvature of the cervical spine.Then correlation analyses of the parameters above were performed.Results There was no significant change in SAMDS at different level after surgery,however SAMSC,SPMSC and SPMDS changed significantly and synchronously.At the level of C5 and C6,SPMSC was maximum,but not correlated to CI.Actually,SPMSC was correlated to the local curvature and highly correlated to SPMDS at the same level.Conclusion After cervical laminoplasty,posterior shifting of the spinal cord was highly correlated to posterior shifting of the dural sac at the same level,weakly correlated to local curvature and not correlated to the global curvature of the cervical spine.
