Another portion of our work addresses hemorrhage detection in pelvic CT images using advanced image processing techniques.
Laboratory monitoring of traumatic coagulopathy is important in order to address occult hemorrhage in patients whose bleeding has been surgically controlled.
PATH identified 38 technologies for evaluation, with emphasis on those that address postpartum hemorrhage and preeclampsia and eclampsia, the leading causes of maternal death.
Although maternal mortality has declined substantially in recent years, efforts to address postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and preeclampsia/eclampsia (PE/E) must be systematically scaled up in order for further reduction to take place.
The bulk of the text deals with acute ischemic stroke with short chapters addressing intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, organization of stroke care, and rehabilitation.
The follow-up CT scan – primarily intended to address tPA-related hemorrhage – was performed as a 5 mm slice axial scan (kV: 120, mAs: 370, CTDIvol: 62, 76 mGy) without contrast medium on a 64-slice CT scanner (Brilliance 64; Philips, Amsterdam, The Netherlands).
This review does not address methods of stopping hemorrhage, but rather deals with the physiologic and pathologic derangements produced by severe hemorrhage and how best to treat them.
Pape and colleagues add evidence for the ongoing quest for optimal fluid replacement strategies during acute hemorrhage and address the unresolved controversy of crystalloid versus colloid fluid replacement strategies with the help of an established porcine hemorrhage model [ 1].
Our understanding of the pathophysiology as well as management of subarachnoid hemorrhage was addressed in several papers.
While the evolution of surgical techniques forms a major chapter in the book, many ancillary problems are addressed including the control of hemorrhage and infection, the approach to pain relief, the development of suitable instruments and equipment, and the invention of prostheses, all suitably illuminated with case histories and relevant illustrations.
