Is MAP push beneficial in trauma patients with spinal cord injury?
I always love that debaters on both sides cite the same paper.
See the @EAST_TRAUMA multicenter study published in @TSACO_AAST #acspcp2026

And so it begins! Looking forward to a great Point Counterpoint conference, starting with @topknife and @SteinSister on whether mild TBI needs to be admitted @PCounterpoint

Carrie Valdez and Babak Sarani debate the use of laparoscopy in trauma...sure it makes sense for some, but does it make sense for every patient? How do you decide? Are we underusing? Overusing? @PCounterpoint @Mdcotcom #acspcp2025

Should you operate on the acute abdomen with Child C cirrhosis? Jamie Diaz and Steve Holsten debate. Consensus = if you do decide to operate, ascites management is key! #acspcp2025 @PCounterpoint

Tourniquets save lives in trauma. Very lopsided debate at #acspcp2025. Excited to peer review incoming paper submission to TSACO @TSACO_AAST.
Captain Polk sets the stage with the PRO side for tourniquets for extremity injury. Main point = they save lives when used correctly! #acspcp2025 @PCounterpoint @Mdcotcom

Unpopular but necessary: Trauma Video Review is far from validated. Consent in critical scenarios is ethically tenuous, and data consistently shows limited trust from patients. If it’s truly safe and effective, why is transparency still optional? It also fails to simulate real-time decision-making under pressure—the very essence of trauma care. Playback isn’t performance. The field needs better evidence, clearer ethics, and fewer assumptions.
Should we use Trauma Video Review?
Of course. What’s the debate?

Matt Lissauer debating Tom Scalea on trauma triage and liberal trauma center access for primary destination and transfers. #acspcp2025
We all agree that trauma centers save lives. But, does EVERY injured patient need trauma center care?
Is telemedicine the answer???

Dr. Henry with the CON on tourniquets...beware of prolonged tourniquet time >2h! Minimize use, place as low as possible, and take off asap #acspcp2025 @PCounterpoint

Dr. Scalea on the CON side for liberal trauma transfers...we need to do better following the triage guidelines that already exist!
