چکیده
A retrospective study was carried out on 42 patients (38 males, 4 females, mean age 25.9) with liver injury at the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur from 1994 through to 1991. Prognostic factors that might help to identify those patient survival was related to pulse rate on arrival ( < or = 120 beats per minute, p = 0.027), systolic blood pressure at induction of anaesthesia ( > or = to 80 mmHg, p = 0.003) and intraoperative blood transfusion of < or = to 4 units (p = 0.05). This data were supported by the 95% confidence interval suggesting that these factors may be strong prognostic indicators individually. Increased mortality was also associated with increased total blood transfused (p = 0.002) and grade of liver injury (p = 0.02). Although the factors we have identified reflect both the severity of injury and resuscitative and surgical efforts, further studies using a prospective design are required to confirm these findings.

متن کاملBlood oxygenation during hyperpressure intraperitoneal fluid administration in a rabbit model of severe liver injury: Evaluation of a novel concept for control of pre-hospital liver bleeding
Oxygen is an essential part of the most important metabolic pathways in aerobic organisms. Oxygen delivery is merely dependent on blood, rendering blood loss a devastating event. Traumatic pre-hospital liver bleeding is a major cause of early trauma deaths in human and animals, with no established therapeutic method yet. Increasing intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) has been shown to reduce liver b...
متن کاملHyperglycemia and antibody titres against heat shock protein 27 in traumatic brain injury patients on parenteral nutrition
Objective(s):Hyperglycemia worsens the neuronal death induced by cerebral ischemia. Previous studies demonstrated that diabetic hyperglycemia suppressed the expression of heat shock protein 70 and 60 (HSP70 and 60) in the liver. IgG antibody titres against heat shock protein 27 (anti HSP27) were measured to determine whether hyperglycemia exacerbates ischemic brain damage by suppressing the exp...
