          Abstract

          Torso hemorrhage remains a leading cause of potentially preventable death within trauma, acute care, vascular, and obstetric practice. A proportion of patients exsanguinate before hemorrhage control. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is an adjunct designed to sustain the circulation until definitive hemostasis. A systematic review was conducted to characterize the current clinical use of REBOA and its effect on hemodynamic profile and mortality.

            Challenges in evaluating surgical innovation.

            Research on surgical interventions is associated with several methodological and practical challenges of which few, if any, apply only to surgery. However, surgical evaluation is especially demanding because many of these challenges coincide. In this report, the second of three on surgical innovation and evaluation, we discuss obstacles related to the study design of randomised controlled trials and non-randomised studies assessing surgical interventions. We also describe the issues related to the nature of surgical procedures-for example, their complexity, surgeon-related factors, and the range of outcomes. Although difficult, surgical evaluation is achievable and necessary. Solutions tailored to surgical research and a framework for generating evidence on which to base surgical practice are essential.

              Epidemiology of postpartum haemorrhage: a systematic review.

              Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is an important cause of maternal mortality. We conducted a systematic review of the prevalence of PPH with the objective of evaluating its magnitude both globally and in different regions and settings: global figures, as well as regional, country and provincial variations, are likely to exist but are currently unknown. We used prespecified criteria to select databases, recorded the database characteristics and assessed their methodological quality. After establishing PPH (>or=500 mL blood loss) and severe PPH (SSPH) (>or=1000 mL blood loss) as main outcomes, we found 120 datasets (involving a total of 3,815,034 women) that reported PPH and 70 datasets (505,379 women) that reported SPPH in the primary analysis. The prevalence of PPH and SPPH is approximately 6% and 1.86% of all deliveries, respectively, with a wide variation across regions of the world. The figures we obtained give a rough estimate of the prevalence of PPH and suggest the existence of some variations. For a reliable picture of PPH worldwide - its magnitude, distribution and consequences - a global survey tackling this condition is necessary.
