BackgroundDue to the increased use of e-scooters in the UK, associated injuries have increased, and its cost has increased as well. Worldwide data on injuries related to e-scooter use are relatively limited, owing to the short duration since their first introduction to the public.AimThere has been an increase in using e-scooters as a method of transport recently. It was noticed that the severity and frequency of its injuries are increasing as well. This study focuses on the frequency of e-scooter-associated injuries, especially open fractures, and to evaluate its burden on the health system.MethodsData on e-scooter injuries were extracted from our trauma database from November 2017 to July 2022. Patients’ notes and images were reviewed. Outcome measures were the type of injuries: site of bony fractures, closed vs. open fracture (using Anderson and Gustilo classification), number of operations, complications, and length of hospital stay.ResultsThe number of patients enrolled was 104. The mean age was 34.3 years, and 78.8% (n = 82) were male. The main mechanism of injury was riding (91%, n = 95) vs. hitting by an e-scooter (9%, n = 9). Injured patients were more likely not to wear helmets (82% of total injured patients). Patients with bony injuries were 65.4% (n = 68), with 22.1% (n = 15) of them being open fractures. The most common bony injuries were lower limb-only fractures at 45.6% (n = 31), then upper limb-only injuries at 39.7% (n = 27). Combined upper and lower limb cases were 8.8% (n = 6), and pelvic injuries were 5.9% (n = 4). Head and neck injuries composed 23.1% (n = 24) of the reported injuries, including intracranial haemorrhages (9.6%, n = 10), extensive traumatic brain injury (3.8%, n = 4), haematoma/lacerations (3.8%, n = 4), cervical spine fractures (1.9%, n = 2), and skull fractures (1.9%, n = 2). The mean duration of hospital stay was 8.6 days, and 9.6% (n = 10) of patients needed intensive therapy unit (ITU) admission. The number of patients presented as trauma calls was 55.8% (n = 58). Patients who needed surgical intervention either under orthopaedics or other specialties were 52.9% (n = 55) and 21.2% (n = 22) of total patients had complications either due to surgical intervention or a long hospital stay.ConclusionE-scooter riding can lead to serious injuries that can end with limb- or life-threatening conditions. The most common demographic characteristics were adults in their early 30s. There should be more emphasis on wearing protective gear like wrist and elbow guards in addition to helmets. Future prospective studies with larger cohorts across multiple regions and hospitals are necessary to truly characterize the nature and cost of e-scooter injuries.

In healthcare, safety is always the top priority—whether it's protecting patients or the staff who care for them. Personal protective equipment (PPE) plays a vital role in ensuring this safety, and one item that stands out is

Background: The aim of the study is to identify the potential risk factors for postoperative AKI in hip fracture patients.Design and methods: Using our local neck of femur (NOF) registration data, patient details were selected using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Electronic records of patients were assessed retrospectively, including blood results, radiological investigations, clinical documentation, and drug charts. The time period was from the start of January 2022 to the end of June 2022. Inclusion Criteria: All patients > 50 years old with NOF fractures underwent operative management from January 2022 to June 2022. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pathological fractures. 2. Non-operative management. 3. Died directly postoperative.Results: Two hundred and fifty patients underwent hip fracture surgery at our hospital in 6 months (January 2022-June 2022) (Cemented procedures were 133 [53%], while fixation procedures were 117 [47%]). Female patients were 174 (70%), and male patients were 76. The average age was 83.4 years, and the number of operations done over the weekend (Friday-Sunday) = 123 (49%). The incidence of postoperative AKI was 56 (22.4%). Forty-five of the fifty-six cases were stage one (80.4%), while seven cases (12.5%) were stage 2. The studied risk factors for postoperative AKI were cemented procedures (61% of postoperative AKI incidence), female gender (66%), time from admission to operation (>24 hours = 33%), day of operation (operations done Friday/Saturday/Sunday = 55%), and postoperative antibiotics (71%).Conclusion: We need strategies to reduce the incidence of postoperative AKI, like AKI alert on laboratory results, IV fluid prescription preoperatively since the arrival of patients to the ED, avoiding/stopping nephrotoxic medications on admission, regular review of postoperative renal function tests and fluid balance, especially in high-risk patients, increase nursing staff and junior doctors on wards over weekends, and we need to review our policy of giving postoperative IV antibiotics.
