Trauma: Journals & articles

In Australia, over half a million people are admitted to hospital every year as a result of injury, and where you live matters. Rural populations have disproportionately higher injury hospitalisation rates (1.5-2.5-fold), higher rates of preventable secondary complications, higher mortality rates (up to fivefold), and higher costs (threefold) than patients injured in major cities. These disparities scale up rapidly with increased remoteness, and shift the service needle from 'scoop and run' to 'continuum of care'. Poorer outcomes, however, are not solely due to longer retrieval distances or delays; they arise from inefficiencies in one or more potentially modifiable factors in the chain of survival. After discussing the burden of injury in Australia, we present a brief history of retrieval services in Queensland and discuss how remoteness requires a different kind of service delivery with many moving parts from point of injury to definitive care. We next address the ongoing challenges for the Australian Trauma Registry, and how centralisation of data from the metropolitan cities masks the inequities in rural and remote trauma. There is an urgent need for accurate data from all service providers around Australia to inform state and federal governments, and we highlight the paucity of trauma data analysis in North Queensland. Last, we identify some major gaps in treating rural and remote polytrauma and en-route patient stabilisation, and discuss the relevance of combat casualty care research and practices. We conclude that a greater emphasis should be placed on collecting more robust trauma patient records, as only accurate data will drive change.

Background: Congenital diaphragmatic defects are rare, with most cases presenting in childhood. Diagnosis in adulthood is usually incidental or when symptoms develop. We present a case of a strangulated Bochdalek hernia complicated by possible tension pneumothorax and iatrogenic bowel injury in a healthy young male.

Case presentation: A 23-year-old Chinese man initially presented with complaints of mild back pain and was discharged with symptomatic treatment. He presented again 3 days later, with dyspnea and left upper back pain and was haemodynamically unstable and hypoxic. A chest x-ray was reported as a moderately large left-sided pneumothorax with herniation of bowel into the left hemithorax. Needle decompression resulted in feculent fluid being aspirated with no resolution of symptoms. The patient required an immediate transfer to the operating theatre for surgical intervention of his left diaphragmatic rupture, complicated by visceral herniation and left tension pneumothorax, with accidental puncture of the herniated bowel. He underwent an emergent laparotomy with requirements for rapid lung isolation and continued aggressive resuscitation.

Conclusions: Patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernias may present in adulthood, either incidentally or emergently. In the well adult patient with good reserves, these initial symptoms may be mild, and may be symptomatically treated with no further workup. However, patients may deteriorate rapidly once their compensatory mechanisms are exhausted. This is the first reported case of a patient with diaphragmatic rupture and bowel herniation, complicated by iatrogenic tension pneumothorax. This rare case illustrates the speed at which a diaphragmatic rupture may progress, possible pitfalls and offers insights on how a misdiagnosis may be avoided.

Background: Viscoelastic hemostatic assays such as rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) are used to guide treatment of trauma induced coagulopathy. We hypothesized that ROTEM derangements reflect specific coagulation factor deficiencies after trauma.

Methods: Secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study in six European trauma centers in patients presenting with full trauma team activation. Patients with dilutional coagulopathy and patients on anticoagulants were excluded. Blood was drawn on arrival for measurement of ROTEM®, coagulation factor levels and markers of fibrinolysis. ROTEM® cut-off values to define hypocoagulability were: EXTEM clotting time (CT) >80s, EXTEM clot amplitude after 5 minutes (CA5) <40mm, EXTEM lysis at 30 minutes (Li30) <85%, FIBTEM clot amplitude after 5 minutes (CA5) <10mm and FIBTEM lysis at 30 minutes (Li30) <85%. Based on these, patients were divided into 7 deranged ROTEM® profiles and compared to the reference group (ROTEM® values within reference range). The primary endpoint was coagulation factors levels and fibrinolysis.

Results: Of 1828 patients, 40% had ROTEM® derangements 40.0%, most often consisting of a combined decrease in EXTEM and FIBTEM CA5, that was present in 217 (11.9%) patients. While an isolated EXTEM CT>80s had no impact on mortality, all other ROTEM® derangements were associated with increased mortality. Also, coagulation factor levels in this group were similar to patients with a normal ROTEM®. Of coagulation factors, decrease was most apparent for fibrinogen (with a nadir of 0.78 g/L) and for factor V levels (with a nadir of 22.8%). In addition, increased fibrinolysis can be present when LI30 is normal but EXTEM and FIBTEM CA5 is decreased.

Conclusion: Coagulation factor levels and mortality in the group with an isolated clotting time prolongation is similar to patients with a normal ROTEM ®. Other ROTEM ® derangements are associated with mortality and reflect a depletion of fibrinogen and factor V. Increased fibrinolysis can be present when lysis after 30 minutes is normal.

Anesthesiology has been lauded for being a leader in patient safety with an amazing record of markedly reducing deaths directly attributable to the delivery of surgical anesthesia. These advancements have led surgeons and other proceduralists to perform procedures on increasingly ill individuals. Many of these individuals would have died without a procedure several decades ago, but increasingly, the skill of anesthesiologists in the operating room and intensive care units has led to surviving these physiologic insults. In this issue of the Anesthesiology Clinics , innovations in perioperative management of extreme conditions and the ethical issues, including resource-limited areas, are discussed.
