Definition • Polytrauma is defined as two or more injuries to physical regions or organ systems, one of which may be life threatening • A syndrome of multiple injuries of defined severity [injury severity score (ISS) ≥ 16] with consecutive systemic reactions, which may lead to dysfunction of remote organs Champion HR. J Trauma. 1990 R. Lefering. European Journal of Trauma 2002
Clinical prognosis Improved survival using ATLS Improved clinical outcome using advanced treatment methods Zander et al. 1992.
Importance • Leading cause of death • Quality of treatment – best indicator od medical care in a specific region • High mortality, long-lasting treatment and rehabilitation with substantial expenses • High incidence of invalidity McKeown DW. Intensive Care Britain 1994
Goals of polytrauma care • Mortality reduction through increased quality and reduced diagnostic time, improved surgical technique and shock treatment, using precise algorithms and adequate therapy and monitoring. Russel R. J Trauma. 2004 Edwin A. CCM. 2006
Scoring systems • based on exact numbering of specific injuries • assesment of injury severity • different injuries combined in a single score • used as a language for communication in literature • results are comparable • prognosis – survival probability for a specific score result
Scoring systems • GCS (Glasgow Coma Score) – eye opening, best motorical and verbal response • RTS (Revised Trauma Score) – physiological score. Sum of GCS, systolic BP and respiratory frequency • ISS (Injury Severity Score) – anatomical score. Based on the AIS (Abbreviated Injury Scale) The 3 most severely injured body regions have their score squared and added together to produce the ISS score . • TRISS = RTS + ISS • NISS – new ISS – three most severe injuries squared regardless of the body region Senkowski CK et al. J Am Call Surg 1999 Aharonson DL. J Trauma. 2006
Patients and methods • Retrospective study • ICU - “Dr. J. Benčević” General Hospital, Sl. Brod • Multi-disciplinary ICU, total 560 patients • 67 (11,96%) polytrauma patients
Patients and methods Monitoring: • GCS • ECG, RR, pulse-oksimetry • Blood gases, ventilation parameters • Blood samples, microbiology cultures • diuresis • Ultrasound, RTG, CT • Central venous catheter, arterial line,PICCO … • ICP, IAP
Patients and methods • General data (sex, age) • Time from injury to ICU admittance • Procedures performed before ICU arrival (venous access, intubation, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) • Procedures performed immediately on ICU arrival
Patients and methods Severity of injury was assesed using: • GCS, RTS, ISS, TRISS and NISS • Based on ISS and NISS score patients were divided in 4 groups (0-15, 16-26, 27-44, >45 points).
Patients and methods ICU treatment: • Number of surgicaly treated patients • Time from ICU arrival to surgery • Patients that had to be transferred to a tertiary centre for treatment continuation • Application of mechanical ventilation (MV) as well as total MV duration • Incidence of hospital pneumonia and life-threathening complications • Need for tracheostomy • ICU mortality • Time spent in ICU
Results Age – 39.4 (5-94) years
Mortality rates in 3 age groups for diff. ISS (35.827 patients in a retrospective study, 10 hospitals, 5 years) J Trauma. 2006
Discussion German Surgery Congress 2001.: • 5353 polytrauma patients (median age - 38 years) • ISS 24.8 • Time to MD arrival 22.4 min, stay 32.9 min, transport 18.3 min • intubated 58.3 % • Hospital stay 31.1 dan
Conclusion • Polytrauma patients require long-lasting treatment and substantial financial resources • Mortality and invalidity reduction can be achieved only through application of specific algorithms, quality diagnostic and monitoring and a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach.
