@aast.orgCouldn’t be in two places at once at #AAST2026? Now you do not have to choose.
AAST 2026 On Demand gives you the opportunity to go back and watch sessions you missed in Dallas, revisit presentations you want to hear again, and more!

@aast.org#AAST2026 is not over yet! The full On Demand program is now available, giving you access to recorded education from across the Annual Meeting.
Watch on your schedule:

@aast.orgOur study explores predictors of delayed ICH progression following blunt trauma and identifies patients who may benefit from closer monitoring and more liberal repeat CT imaging beyond the initial 48 hours.
@aast.orgPalliative care screening at a level I trauma center improved documentation, reduced ICU and hospital stays, and when initiated early decreased tracheostomy and enteral access procedures, supporting goal-concordant care.
@aast.orgBurn injury raises Ang-2 and disrupts lung structure. In our mouse model, low-dose AV-001 improved lung morphology despite persistent Ang-2 elevation.
@aast.org
@aast.orgHigh-IR-utilization trauma centers had lower mortality (aOR 0.60), transfusion (aOR 0.51) & complications (aOR 0.73) vs high-op centers in blunt solid organ injury.
@aast.orgExploring how machine learning can improve in-hospital mortality prediction and trauma system performance for major trauma patients – AAST 2026, Policlinico San Matteo, Università di Pavia, Italy.

@aast.orgTRPA1 Activation Preserves the Endothelial Glycocalyx During Hypoxia/Reoxygenation Injury.
@aast.orgIn 1,902 patients with low-grade colon injuries, combination preoperative antibiotics reduced the odds of organ space infection by 63% versus a single antibiotic, suggesting better outcomes with combination prophylaxis.
@aast.orgNighttime trauma admission was linked to ~40% higher adjusted odds of in-hospital death, especially in apparently stable blunt-trauma patients. Normal vital signs may not indicate low risk.
@aast.orgSAP patients demonstrate markedly elevated levels of CPB1 and resistance to fibrinolysis that is rescued with addition of a CPB1 inhibitor. Could CPB1 be targeted to reduce thromboembolic risk in SAP?
@aast.orgOur retrospective LITES national database found no difference between manual and automated compressions when used for prehospital CPR for traumatic arrest when looking at total transport time, rib fractures, PTX, or mortality.
@aast.orgRural trauma deaths are rising, but analysis of 158 rural hospital closures found no increase in county-level injury mortality. Improving rural trauma systems remains essential.
@aast.orgNew data on #STOPIT in excluded trauma & EGS patients: short-course abx (3-5d) showed comparable 30-day outcomes vs prolonged therapy. Preliminary but promising. #AAST2026 #AntibioticStewardship #AAST2026
@aast.orgAmong over 39,000 infant & toddler trauma patients, associated risk of mortality and complications were similar at pediatric-only vs. combined pediatric/adult trauma centers. ACS verification standards are maintaining equal care across both hospital types.
@aast.orgTrauma patients require transfusion during post-surgical recovery when volume replacement with oncotic protein may be required to support blood pressure and hemostasis with reduced thrombotic risk. PRPCR is an optimal therapeutic. #AAST2026
@aast.orgWhole blood usage in south Texas can be used to estimate the cost of prehospital programs across the state and the rest of the nation!
@aast.orgViolence is a legal condition as much as a clinical one. Pairing our violence recovery program with bedside attorneys, a trauma center HVIP-MLP, roughly halved the odds of 1-year re-injury. #AAST2026
@aast.orgWhen Is It Cost-Effective to Implement a Whole Blood Program? A cost-effectiveness analysis for civilian trauma centers. #AAST2026
