Mild, moderate or severe lung injury after trauma: what are the early predictors?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Lung injury is a common complication following major trauma. Large volume transfusions, thoracic injury, pulmonary contusion, and hypo perfusion have previously been associated with its development [1]. However, early predictors of differing grades of lung injury following trauma are yet to be described. The objective of this study was to characterise the admission risk factors associated with differing severity of lung injury in trauma patients.

BACKGROUND Acute lung injury following trauma resuscitation remains a concern despite recent advances. With the use of the PROMMTT study population, the risk of hypoxemia and potential modifiable risk factors are studied. METHODS Patients with survival for 24 hours or greater with at least one intensive care unit day were included in the analysis. Hypoxemia was categorized using the Berlin de...

متن کاملNumerical modeling of primary thoracic trauma because of blast
Purpose: Since explosive blasts continue to cause casualties in both civil and military environments, there is a need for an understanding of the mechanisms of blast trauma at the human organ level, plus a more detailed predictive methodology. The primary goal of this research was to develop a finite element model capable of predicting primary blast injury to the lung so as to assist in the d...
