In selected patients it is not avoided to perform thoracotomy.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Background: In our clinic, mortality caused by chest trauma in patients with thoracotomy was 13.9% (42/303), and 7.4% (286/3863) in patients without thoracotomy (p < 0.05).
📊
Key Findings & Data:Methods: Patients with chest trauma and treated with or without thoracotomy were seperated into 3 groups according to injury severity score (ISS) (Group I: 0-25; Group II: 25-50; Group III: 50-75); rates and mortality of both groups were recorded.

Abstract

Background: In our clinic, mortality caused by chest trauma in patients with thoracotomy was 13.9% (42/303), and 7.4% (286/3863) in patients without thoracotomy (p < 0.05). To explore this higher mortality in thoracotomy after trauma, properties of patients and injuries were analysed. Methods: Patients with chest trauma and treated with or without thoracotomy were seperated into 3 groups according to injury severity score (ISS) (Group I: 0-25; Group II: 25-50; Group III: 50-75); rates and mortality of both groups were recorded. Relationship between increasing in ISS and mortality was explored. Results: Factors that effected on mortality were blunt trauma, ribs fractures more than 3, bilaterally or massive pulmoner contusion with air leaks bleeding more than 1250 ml postoperatively, operation within 2 hours after injury, bilateral or total pneumothorax, associated head or abdominal injury and recussitation before thoracotomy. Rates of patients ISS I and II were not different (p = 0.29). But ISS III patients were in higher number among patients with thoracotomy (p < 0.05). Mean ISS was 32.8 ± 12.8 in thoracotomies and 24.2 ± 9.6 in nonthoracotomies. Mortality rising according to ISS was correlated in both groups (r = 0.964). Conclusions: Cause of higher mortality in trauma treated with thoracotomy was depent on the severity of trauma. In selected patients it is not avoided to perform thoracotomy.

Özet

Amaç: Kliniğimizde ameliyat edilen toraks travmalı hastalarda mortalite %13.9 (42/303) iken ameliyatsız tedavi edilen travma hastalarında ise %7.4 (286/3863) idi (p < 0.05). Bu çalışmada travma torakotomisindeki bu yüksek mortalitenin nedenini araştırmak amacıyla hasta ve yaralanmaya ait özellikler incelendi. Materyal ve Metod: Torakotomi ve torakotomi dışı göğüs travmalı hastalar, Yaralanma Ağırlık Skoru (YAS)'na göre üç gruba ayrılarak (Grup I: 0-25; Grup II: 25-50; Grup III: 50-75) her grubun oranı ve mortalitesi kaydedildi. Yaralanma ağırlık skorundaki artışla mortalite arasındaki ilişki araştırıldı. Bulgular: Mortaliteye etkisi saptanan faktörler şunlardı: künt travma, 3'den çok kosta kırığı, bilateral veya hava kaçağıyla beraber olan geniş pulmoner kontüzyon, postoperatif dönemde 1250 ml'den fazla kanama, yaralanmadan sonraki 2 saat içinde operasyon, total veya bilateral pnömotoraks, yandaş baş veya abdomen yaralanması ve torakotomi öncesi resüsitasyon. Grup I ve II hastalarınının oranı, torakotomi geçiren ve geçirmeyenler arasında farklı değildi (p = 0.29). Fakat torakotomililerde Grup III hastaları daha fazlaydı (p < 0.05). Ortalama YAS torakotomi hastalarında 32.8 ± 12.8, torakotomisiz grupta 24.2 ± 9.6 olarak bulundu. İki grupta, YAS'daki artışa bağlı olarak mortalitede oluşan artış birbiriyle korelasyon gösteriyordu (r = 0.964). Sonuç: Travma torakotomilerindeki yüksek mortalitenin nedeni, yaralanmanın ağırlığıdır. İyi seçilen hastalarda torakotomiden kaçınılmamalıdır.
