Development and Dissemination of Clinical Practice Guidelines and Appropriate Use Criteria for Treatment of Major Extremity Trauma
Abstract
A critical next step for METRC is the integration of its results with other relevant research, multidisciplinary clinical expertise and patient values to develop Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) and criteria for the appropriate use of the guidelines through development of Appropriate Use Criteria (AUCs). To this end, six clinical topics were identified: 1) Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Compartment Syndrome; 2) Limb Salvage vs. Amputation Following Major Limb Trauma; 3) Early Screening for Psychosocial Risk and Protective Factors; 4) Use of Multimodal Perioperative Pharmacologic Pain Management; 5) Techniques for Performing Transtibial Amputation- Burgess vs. Ertl; and 6) Prevention and Treatment of Surgical Site Infection.
