Glucose control and the inflammatory responseBryan Collier
Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, 1211 21st Avenue, Department of Surgery, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, 404 Medical Arts Building, Nashville, TN 37212, USA
Nutr Clin Pract 23:3-15. 2008..Understanding the pathophysiology driving stress hyperglycemia--the stress response and modulation of the inflammatory process-seems to be the key to improving the care of the most critically ill and injured patients...
Vasopressin use is associated with death in acute trauma patients with shockBryan Collier
Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, The Department of Surgery, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN 37212, USA
J Crit Care 25:173.e9-14. 2010..Although catecholamines are typically the first agent used, arginine vasopressin (AVP) is increasingly been used as an adjuvant agent. Mortality with refractory hypotension and vasopressin use in trauma patients is unknown...
Feeding the open abdomenBryan Collier
Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee 37212, USA
JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr 31:410-5. 2007..The purpose of this study was to determine if early enteral nutrition improves outcome for trauma patients with an open abdomen (OA)...
The impact of a normoglycemic management protocol on clinical outcomes in the trauma intensive care unitBryan Collier
Department of Biostatistics, Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, 243 Medical Center South, 2100 Pierce Avenue, Nashville, TN 37212, USA
JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr 29:353-8; discussion 359. 2005..The purpose of this study was to determine if protocol-driven normoglycemic management in trauma patients affected glucose control, ventilator-associated pneumonia, surgical-site infection, and inpatient mortality...
Visceral adiposity is not associated with inflammatory markers in trauma patientsBryan Collier
Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, Department of Surgery, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, USA
J Trauma 68:57-61. 2010..We hypothesized that obese patients (body mass index >30 kg/m) with higher visceral to subcutaneous adipose tissue distribution would have increased inflammatory outcomes...
Intensive insulin therapy in practice: can we do it?Lesly A Dossett
Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, Department of Surgery, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN 37212, USA
JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr 33:14-20. 2009..The authors' objective was to quantify adherence to an IIT protocol in a practice setting, and to describe how adherence impacts overall blood glucose (BG) control...
A computerized insulin infusion titration protocol improves glucose control with less hypoglycemia compared to a manual titration protocol in a trauma intensive care unitMarcus J Dortch
Department of Pharmaceutical Services, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee 37232, USA
JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr 32:18-27. 2008..Unfortunately, implementation of such protocols has proved challenging. This study evaluated the degree of glucose control using manual paper-based vs computer-based insulin protocols in a trauma intensive care unit...
Obesity and pulmonary complications in critically injured adultsLesly A Dossett
Department of Surgery, Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA
Chest 134:974-80. 2008..Whether or not obesity contributes to pulmonary complications after critical injury is poorly understood...
Triaging to a regional acute care surgery center: distance is criticalJose J Diaz
Division of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, Department of Biomedical Informatics, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee 37212, USA
J Trauma 70:116-9. 2011..We hypothesized that distance to a referral center and severity of illness (SOI) would be predictors of death...
The early work-up for isolated ligamentous injury of the cervical spine: does computed tomography scan have a role?Jose J Diaz
Department of Radiology and Radiological Sciences, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee 37212, USA
J Trauma 59:897-903; discussion 903-4. 2005..Helical computed tomography (HCT) scan is the preferred modality for diagnosing fractures of the cervical spine in blunt trauma. We hypothesize that HCT can be used as a screening tool for isolated ligamentous injury (LI) in blunt trauma...
Nutrition and the open abdomenNathan J Powell
Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, TN, USA
Nutr Clin Pract 27:499-506. 2012..Finally, an open abdomen nutrition support algorithm is provided as part of the critical care plan in these patients who represent the sickest of surgical patients...
Postoperative rhabdomyolysis with bariatric surgeryBryan Collier
Department of Surgery, Memorial Medical Center, Johnstown, PA, USA
Obes Surg 13:941-3. 2003..Obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery should be considered at risk for rhabdomyolysis, especially in view of prolonged surgeries, difficult physical examination, low volume status, and larger or immobile patients...

Department of Surgery, Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center, Temple University, 1086 Franklin Street, Johnstown, PA 15905-4398, USA
J Trauma 55:1002. 2003
Is helical computed tomography effective for diagnosis of blunt aortic injury?Bryan Collier
Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center, Johnstown, PA, USA
Am J Emerg Med 20:558-61. 2002..HCTT effectively screens for BAI. Aortography can be more specifically applied as a diagnostic study when preceded by HCTT. HCTT should not be used as solitary study for BAI as some injuries identified by HCTT do not represent BAI...
