• S152 Pragmatic non-inferiority randomised trial investigating needle aspiration versus chest drain for secondary spontaneous pneumothorax. The PRINCE-SSP study

  2025-11-01

  article

  <h3>Introduction</h3> Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) is a medical emergency where the lung collapses in the presence of underlying chronic lung disease. Current international clinical guidelines recommend the insertion of an intercostal chest drain (ICD) for SSP. However, needle aspiration (NA) is a simpler and quicker procedure, is less painful and associated with fewer complications than ICD. The primary objective of PRINCE-SSP was to test whether NA is non-inferior to ICD for the initial length of hospital stay (LOHS) during 30 days from randomisation. <h3>Methods</h3> PRINCE-SSP was an efficient, pragmatic, multi-centre, open-label, parallel, two-group, randomised, non-inferiority trial conducted in 20 UK hospitals over a 2-year period. Eligible patients had to have an SSP. Patients could be enrolled either by giving informed consent if they had capacity or via a deferred consent pathway, whereby consent was sought if the patient regained capacity within 72 hours of randomisation or else from a personal or nominated consultee. Participants were randomly allocated to the intervention (NA) or usual care (ICD) and followed up for at least 30 days. The primary outcome is initial LOHS up to day 30 post-randomisation, with pre-specified non-inferiority margin of +1 day. <h3>Results</h3> Between August 18, 2023 and April 30, 2025, 303 patients were screened. 72 eligible patients were enrolled and randomised: 37 to NA and 35 to ICD. One patient (randomised to ICD) was subsequently found not to have a pneumothorax, prior to receiving any trial treatment, and was excluded from any further trial activities. The mean (SD) age of the remaining 71 participants was 65.6 (13.5) years, with range 37 to 91; 55 (77.5%) were men; 88.7% were white; 64.8% had COPD and 54.9% had recurrent pneumothorax. The median pneumothorax size at the hilum was 3.55 cm (range 0 to 13.1). Baseline characteristics were generally well-balanced between allocated groups. Three deaths were reported: two during the initial hospital stay (one in each allocated group) and one death (ICD) reported after the initial hospital stay. <h3>Conclusion</h3> Final follow-ups were in June 2025 and analyses are now underway. Results on clinical effectiveness and implications for practice will be presented and discussed.

• Pictures Do Influence the Decision to Transfer: Outcomes of a Telemedicine Program Serving an Eight-State Rural Population

  Triaging burn patients is a daunting task because burn injuries are rare; this inexperience leads to uncertainty in treatment and referral algorithms. Our regional burn center's catchment area includes eight states. Outlying facilities consult via telephone through the medical center's transfer center. Referring provider assessments of depth or size of injury infrequently correlates with burn provider's assessments. This causes over- and under-triage of patients managed outside of burn centers. A quality improvement telemedicine project was developed to allow burn providers to review photos with referring providers to determine best management, provide pertinent education, and initiate appropriate and timely resuscitation. Details tracked include date of service, consulting provider, follow-up education offered, and whether the image reviewed changed or confirmed the requested plan of care. Of the 155 cases between January 2017 and August 2018, 24.5% of patient images changed the initial transfer decision, and 75.5% confirmed the initial plan of care. Of the cases requiring change of plan, 60.5% were down-triaged to outpatient care and 39.5% were up-triaged to transfer. Implementation of this telemedicine program has increased efficiency of resource utilization, timely resuscitation, appropriate transfer of patients requiring admission, and real-time education. Findings suggest advanced practice providers' assessments are similar to those of referring physicians. These observations may have significant implications on Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) guidelines defining physician to physician consultation and support efficient use of available resources. Telemedicine facilitates access to specialized care and improves fiscal responsibility.

• Assessment of Deep Partial Thickness Burn Treatment with Keratin Biomaterial Hydrogels in a Swine Model

  BioMed Research International · 2016-01-01 · 25 citations

  articleOpen access

  Partial thickness burns can advance to full thickness after initial injury due to inadequate tissue perfusion and increased production of inflammatory cytokines, which has been referred to as burn wound progression. In previous work, we demonstrated that a keratin biomaterial hydrogel appeared to reduce burn wound progression. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that a modified keratin hydrogel could reduce burn wound progression and speed healing. Standardized burn wounds were created in Yorkshire swine and treated within 30 minutes with keratin hydrogel (modified and unmodified), collagen hydrogel, or silver sulfadiazine (SSD). Digital images of each wound were taken for area measurements immediately prior to cleaning and dressing changes. Wound tissue was collected and assessed histologically at several time points. Wound area showed a significant difference between hydrogels and SSD groups, and rates of reepithelialization at early time points showed an increase when keratin treatment was used compared to both collagen and SSD. A linear regression model predicted a time to wound closure of approximately 25 days for keratin hydrogel while SSD treatment required 35 days. There appeared to be no measurable differences between the modified and unmodified formulations of keratin hydrogels.
