Choreographing trauma resuscitation in the OR.

Survival rates are enhanced if severely injured trauma patients are admitted directly to the OR for resuscitation and surgical intervention. To increase the survivability and decrease the morbidity of trauma patients with penetrating trauma to the chest or abdomen, a hospital in La Jolla, Calif, developed a "direct to the OR" resuscitation program. This program substantially increased the survival rate of these trauma patients. Perioperative nurses respond to all major trauma situations and assist with surgical procedures completed in a trauma resuscitation room or in the OR.

Patient selection: indications and contraindications.

Patient selection is critical to the success of PLDD. In general, the herniation must have continuity with the parent disc; rupture of the annulus is not a contraindication. Several other orthopedic conditions constitute absolute or relative contraindications. All patients must be individualized. Our criteria for inclusion is undergoing continuing change. What is unacceptable now may, with modifications, become acceptable in the future. It is important not to adopt a fixed position at this early stage of PLDD.
