Abstract

BACKGROUND We aimed to assess the pediatric trauma score analysis in pediatric trauma cases due to shrapnel effect of explosives material with high kinetic energy. METHODS The data of 17 pediatric injuries were reviewed retrospectively between February 2002 and August 2005. The information about age, gender, trauma-hospital interval, trauma mechanism, the injured organs, pediatric Glasgow coma score (PGCS), pediatric trauma score (PTS), hemodynamic parameters, blood transfusion, interventions and length of hospital stay (LHS) were investigated. RESULTS While all patients suffered from trauma to the extremities, only four patients had traumatic lower-limb amputation. Transportation time was ≤1 hour in 35% of cases, and >1 hour in 65% of cases. While PTS was found as ≤8 in 35.3% of cases (n=6), the score was found to be higher than 8 in 64.7% of them (n=11). Median heart rate in patients with PTS ≤8 was 94 beats/min. This value was 70 beats/min in those with PTS >8 (p=0.007). Morbidity rates of PTS ≤8 cases and PTS >8 cases were 29.4% and 5.9%, respectively (p=0.026). While LHS was 22.8 days in PTS ≤8 cases, LHS was found to be only 4 days in PTS >8 cases. This difference was found to be statistically significant (p=0.001). CONCLUSION PTS is very efficient and a time-saving procedure to assess the severity of trauma caused by the shrapnel effect. The median heart rate, morbidity, and LHS increased significantly in patients with PTS ≤8.

Özet

AMAÇ Parça etkili patlayıcılar ile gerçekleşen pediatrik travma olgularının epidemiyolojik ve klinik verileri ışığında pediatrik travma skorunun analizi amaçlandı. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM Şubat 2002 ve Ağustos 2005 tarihleri arasında başvuran 17 pediatrik travma olgusunun verileri geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Yaş, cinsiyet, travma-hastane aralığı, travma mekanizması, yaralanan organlar, pediatrik Glaskow koma skoru (PGKS), pediatrik travma skoru (PTS), hemodinamik parametreler, kan transfüzyonu ve yapılan müdahaleler ile hastanede kalış süresine (HKS) ait bilgiler araştırıldı. BULGULAR Olguların tamamında ekstremite travması varken 4 olguda travmatik alt ekstremite ampütasyonu vardı. Transport süresi, olguların %35’inde ≤1 saat iken %65’inde ise >1 saat idi. Olguların %35,3’ünde (n=6) PTS ≤8 olarak hesaplanırken %64,7’sinde (n=11) skor >8 olarak bulundu. PTS ≤8 olan olgularda nabız ortancası 94/dk, PTS >8 olanlarda bu değer 70/dk olarak bulundu (p=0,007). PTS ≤8 olan olgularda morbidite oranı %29,4 (n=5), PTS >8 olanlarda ise %5,9 (n=1) idi (p=0,026). PTS ≤8 olan olgularda HKS’nin 22,8 gün, PTS >8 olan olgulardaki HKS’nin ise 4 gün olduğu görüldü. HKS arasındaki bu farkta istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p=0,001). SONUÇ PTS parça etkili patlayıcı yaralanmalarında travmanın değerlendirilmesinde oldukça etkin ve zaman kazandırıcıdır. PTS ≤8 olan olgularda nabız ortancası, morbidite ve HKS belirgin olarak artmaktadır.
