[Severe trauma patients in a mountain area: an observational study].
The main objective was to estimate the nature, severity and medical care of severe trauma injuries following mountain activities as compared to severe trauma following traffic accident in a mountain area. ⋯ So, it seems important to continuously warn population about dangers of this playground.

[Post-traumatic dysautonomic crises in intensive care unit: a French national assessment].
The dysautonomic crises (DC) after traumatic brain injury are an unknown syndrome whereas the first case was described more than 50 years ago. This work aimed to collect their support modalities in French neuro-intensive cares units. ⋯ Although DC were a common complication in neuro-intensive care unit, their support seems mainly empirical.

Case Reports[Pericardial puncture after central venous catheterism in infant. Systematic opacification and chest radiography to avoid serious complication].
Development of ultrasound in the operating room has improved the safety of patients requiring the placement of a central venous line in children. However, the risk of venous or myocardial perforation related to the use of guidewires or inappropriate dilators persists despite the use of ultrasound. ⋯ Immediate diagnosis and rapid treatment led to a favorable outcome. We believe chest radiography and systematic opacification are mandatory before fluid administration through the catheter, in order to reduce residual risk of serious complication.
