During the first four hours, in 2% of the patients, edema was seen, 16% agitation, 8%vascularproblems.Conclusion: When the type of injury is subcategorized to injuries of several compartments (nerve, tendon, muscle, artery, vein),the early postoperative challanges are more easily and correctly handled.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Objectives: In this study, we analyzed patients with upper extremity injuries concerning patient demographics, injury type andetiological factors, and the most common problems encountered during the first 24 hours that were noted in the retrospectiveanalysis.Methods: In this study, a total of 82 patients who presented to the emergency plastic surgery clinic in Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Researchand Training Hospital, postoperatively these patients were checked after surgery for first 24 hours concerning pain, nausea andvomiting, edema, agitation, arm immobilization arm and vascular patency.Results: Among etiological factors, 54 patients were sharp-object trauma, 10 patients punched a hard object, 15 patients hadwork hazard, two patients had traffic accident, one patient from the fight.
📊
Key Findings & Data:When these patients were postoperatively analyzed, in45% patients pain, in 7% nausea and in 14 % bleeding were observed.

When these patients were postoperatively analyzed, in45% patients pain, in 7% nausea and in 14 % bleeding were observed. Plaster was placed in 100% of the patients in order and theirarms were elevated to reduce edema. During the first four hours, in 2% of the patients, edema was seen, 16% agitation, 8%vascularproblems.Conclusion: When the type of injury is subcategorized to injuries of several compartments (nerve, tendon, muscle, artery, vein),the early postoperative challanges are more easily and correctly handled.
