Everyone on the Vogue instagram: “oh isn’t Victoria so brave for walking out on crutches at the end of her show?” Me: her NWB technique is questionable

This week @London_Trauma System is publishing our Palliative and End of Life Care in Older Trauma Patients best practice guidance. Please share widely! c4ts.qmul.ac.uk/downloads/lmts… Key Principles: All healthcare professionals involved in the care of older trauma patients have a responsibility towards the identification and management of an individual’s palliative and end of life care needs. Palliative support for older trauma patients should be provided in conjunction with, and not separate to, best available curative/life-prolonging interventions All older trauma patients should be looked up on local health records to see if they have an advance care pathway Prognostication at the outset can be difficult. Where the appropriateness of clinical interventions is uncertain, ‘time limited trial of treatments’ should be considered, alongside patients wishes and preferences. Effective communication between TUs and MTCs is essential and palliative care referral pathways should be in place within trauma networks to facilitate individualised decision-making. Where specialist services at MTCs are requested to guide treatment options, senior TU clinicians managing the patient should factor in and convey relevant information about a patient’s medical background and personal values, to enable shared decision-making on prognosis, treatment intentions and the best location of ongoing care. Thank you to @TraumaEMC and everyone involved in producing this guidance.

@renegray82 @JPUHTherapies Sounds very interesting and similar trends, especially point 4! Hopefully with more established roles like TRC and MTC this can be reduced, but more rehab consultants are required to support. Look forward to reading in more detail.

Great to share our new article looking at epidemiology of major trauma in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 older adults... 👴🧓🚑 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Some 🗝️ takeaways: 1. Major trauma in those ≥70 years old has risen by over 250% in the last 10 years. It now accounts for ⅓ of all major trauma. 2. Further significant rises are predicted associated with an ageing population. 2. The most common cause of major trauma in this population are low velocity falls (not MVCs or other high-energy impacts). 3. 30-day survival is only 65%. This has remained largely static over the last 10 years. 4. There was an association between admission to medical specialities and higher mortality which requires further exploration. 5. Healthcare resource burden for older adults sustaining major trauma is massive, with an average acute length of stay of 18 days. We urgently need to look at public health measures (in particular falls prevention) to help alleviate further increases in the morbidity and mortality associated with major trauma in older adults. Introduction of a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment into the @ScotTraumaNwk for frail patients will hopefully help improve care and bring management in line with best practice for other frailty trauma, e.g. hip fracture. @P_H_S_Official @atula_tweets @elderlytrauma @OTrauma @TARNaudit @NHSResearchScot @scotgovhealth @TraumaCareUK @BritOrthopaedic
