Purpose Trauma is the top cause of death in people under 45 years age. Deaths from severe trauma can have a negative economic impact due to loss belonging socio-economically active age groups. Therefore, efforts reduce mortality rate patients are essential. The purpose this study was investigate preventable and identify factors healthcare-related challenges affecting mortality. Ultimately, these findings will help improve quality care. Methods We analyzed deaths 411 who presented Gachon...
Background:The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scoring system the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) are widely used for critically ill patients.We evaluated whether APACHE score SOFA predict outcome trauma patients in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods: We retrospectively analyzed admitted to ICU a single center between January 2014 December 2015.The was figured out based on data acquired from first 24 hours of admission; 3 days ICU.A total 241 were...
Recent advancements in interventional radiology have made angioembolization an invaluable modality trauma care. Angioembolization is typically performed by radiologists. In this study, we aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of emergency surgeons.
Severe abdominal injuries often require immediate clinical assessment and surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening complications. In Jeju Regional Trauma Center, we have instituted a protocol for emergency department (ED) laparotomy at the trauma bay. We investigated mortality time taken from admission ED laparotomy.
Traumatic dissection of the celiac artery without aortic is a rare event. Here we describe two cases after blunt abdominal trauma managed conservatively surgical or endovascular intervention. Keywords: Celiac artery; Vascular system injuries; Abdominal injuries
Background: Trauma center and multidisciplinary management protocols have been proven to improve the outcomes of severely injured patients. Hemorrhage from pelvic injury is associated with high mortality a common cause preventable trauma death. This study aimed evaluate effects establishment on hemodynamically unstable patients fractures. Methods: Hemodynamically fractures were reviewed retrospectively over 10-year period. They grouped into pre-phase post-phase, which defined as before after...
Background: Nonoperative management for hemodynamically stable splenic injury has been accepted as appropriate treatment. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the changes in and clinical outcomes of by introducing a protocol at newly established regional trauma center. Methods: From January 2005 December 2016, we reviewed all 257 patients who sustained blunt spleen first center South Korea. 11-year period was divided into two intervals, before 1 2014 (period I, n = 189 patients) after...
Open pelvic fractures are rare, but pose challenges for trauma surgeons due to their high morbidity and mortality. Generally, early death results from uncontrolled exsanguination late is related sepsis. Therefore, management of these injuries should prioritize hemostasis contamination control starting in the initial phase treatment. We report two cases unstable open with perineal wounds that were managed successfully. Keywords: Trauma; Trauma centers; Pelvic bones; Fractures
Purpose There is increasing evidence in the literature regarding resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of aorta (REBOA) globally, but few cases have been reported Korea. We aimed to describe our experience successful Zone III REBOA and discuss its algorithm, techniques, related complications. Methods reviewed consecutive who survived from hypovolemic shock after placement for 4 years. patients' baseline characteristics, physiological status, procedural data, outcomes. Results was...
In certain circumstances, invasive procedures such as creation of a surgical airway, insertion chest drain, intraosseous puncture, or amputation in the field are necessary. These can save lives. However, emergency medical service teams cannot perform according to law Korea. The upper arm 29-year-old male patient was stuck huge machine and team could not rescue patient. A doctor-car dispatched scene performed filed extricate He brought trauma center immediately underwent formal above-elbow...
Purpose: Patients with penetrating injuries are at a high risk of mortality, and many them require emergency surgery. Proper triage transfer the patient to department (ED), where immediate definitive treatment is available, key improving survival. This study aimed evaluate epidemiology outcomes patients torso in Incheon Metropolitan City. Methods: Data from trauma between 2014 2018 (5 years) were extracted National Emergency Department Information System. In this study, (chest abdomen)...
