[ORT-L] Immune Monitoring	Can't Post

Dear Members,

Can I ask who is using currently any immune monitoring in polytrauma patients to:
1. better define timing secondary surgery
2. differentiate between inflammation and infection
3. prediction or earlier diagnosis of complications (ARDS, MOF, infection etc).
4. any other clinical reasons (not research)

What mediators/cytokines do you monitor, which potentially influencing your decision making?

Thanks,

Zsolt

Hello Friends

This is a new one, really. To imagine that a patient is treated by one list member in India. and then goes to USA to consult another list member. Just like you get consulted for a second opinion by a patient who was treated yesterday by your colleague across the street. The world indeed is becoming a small village. And it is yet another sign of the power of these lists: Orthopod, OTA, ..etc. This is both amusing and worrisome at the same time.
