Blunt cardiac injury.
In summary, the incidence of BCI following blunt thoracic trauma patients has been reported between 20% and 76%, and no gold standard exists to diagnose BCI. Diagnostic tests should be limited to identify those patients who are at risk of developing cardiac complications as a result of BCI. Therapeutic interventions should be directed to treat the complications of BCI. Finally, the prognosis an...
متن کاملBlunt Cardiac Injury in Trauma Patients with Thoracic Aortic Injury
Trauma patients with thoracic aortic injury (TAI) suffer blunt cardiac injury (BCI) at variable frequencies. This investigation aimed to determine the frequency of BCI in trauma patients with TAI and compare with those without TAI. All trauma patients with TAI who had admission electrocardiography (ECG) and serum creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) from January 1999 to May 2009 were included as a study ...
متن کاملDamage control surgery in patient with delayed rupture of pseudoaneurysm after blunt abdominal trauma
Delayed rupture of post-traumatic pseudoaneurysms of the visceral arteries, especially the pancreaticoduodenal artery, is uncommon. Here, we describe a 55-year-old man hemorrhaging from a pseudoaneurysm of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (IPDA). Computed tomography of the abdomen showed active bleeding in the IPDA and large amounts of hemoperitoneum and hemoretroperitoneum. Selective me...
متن کاملScreening for blunt cardiac injury: an Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma practice management guideline.
BACKGROUND Diagnosing blunt cardiac injury (BCI) can be difficult. Many patients with mechanism for BCI are admitted to the critical care setting based on associated injuries; however, debate surrounds those patients who are hemodynamically stable and do not otherwise require a higher level of care. To allow safe discharge home or admission to a nonmonitored setting, BCI should be definitively ...
متن کاملDamage Control in Abdominal Surgery
Damage Control Surgery (DCS) is established as a life-saving procedure in severely injured patients. In addition to the trauma, hemorrhage and tissue hypoperfusion, a secondary systemic injury, by inflammatory mediator release, contributes to acidosis, coagulopathy, and hypothermia and leads to multi system organ failure. It is necessary to identify patients unable to tolerate a traditional app...
