Efficacy of Lung ultrasound in monitoring fluid resuscitation in chest trauma patients with lung contusions
The purpose of this study is to use the Duracore splinting device to measure lung capacities of patients with rib fractures in control and experimental groups to determine if lung capacities improve with the splint.
To compare between small sized tube thoracostomy and large sized tube thoracostomy regarding the need for another chest tube for the fear of obstruction (in hemomothorax) or ineffective drainage (in hemothorax, pneumothorax or hemo-pneumothorax) ,pain score or repositioning and need for thoracotomy.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of occipito-cervico-thoracic spine surgery using posterior fixation as measured by reported complications, radiographic outcomes, and patients reported outcomes (PROs).This study is being undertaken to identify possible residual risks and to clarify mid-to long-term clinical performance that may affect the benefit/risk ratio of posterior fixation systems.
This study aims to investigate whether the identification of acute myocardial dysfunction by 2D-strain transthoracic sonography in the first week following trauma would allow to better diagnose occult and severe patterns of myocardial contusion, in order to identify a subpopulation at higher risk of complications. The measurement of myocardial strain (2D-strain) by transthoracic sonography is a robust tool to assess the myocardial function. The investigators strongly suppose that the 2D-strain would allow to better identify subclinical MC in chest trauma, as well as the severe patterns that are associated with more organs dysfunctions and a worst outcome.
:The investigators aim to provide trauma patient with the best and most efficient managment options and long-term stability with the least complications by comparing the effect of under water seal alone of chest tube in one groups of trauma patients and the effect of both under water seal and suction in other group and the benefits of one versus the other in duration of hospital stay and to assess short-term post-traumatic complications ,also to assess effectiveness of adding suction and patient satisfaction.
Chest trauma (CT) patients with 3 or more ribs fractures with or without pleuropulmonary injury are an indicator of severity. Chest physiotherapy (CP) and analgesia is the first line treatment in these patients. The aim study is to evaluate the effect of positive expiratory pressure (PEP) breathing compared to the incentive spirometry in terms of pain control in the recent phase of CT.
Chest trauma (CT) are a common problem in our environment caused mainly by traffic accidents and causal and domestic accidents among the elderly population. CTs, in some situations, can lead to sequelae such as fibrothorax secondary to hemothorax and / or empyema and residual chronic pain. Clinical regulations and guidelines recommend a guideline for chest physiotherapy (CP) for all patients with rib fractures, but there is little scientific evidence. It would be interesting to establish CP treatment protocols and describe the most appropriate techniques according to the type and stages of thoracic trauma consolidation. Objective: To evaluate the effect of Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) breathing added to conventional CP in terms of aid secretion clearance, pain control, pleuropulmonary radiological abnormalities, restoration of lung function, and admission days in the immediate phase of the CT.
Pulmonary contusion caused by severe thoracic trauma is a complex disease. Some patients may be secondary to severe complications such as pulmonary infection or even acute respiratory distress syndrome. At present, there have been no reports on related studies based on Chinese population. In this study, 800 patients with pulmonary contusion will be retrospectively investigated to determine the risk factors and independent risk factors of their poor prognosis, and to construct a prognosis prediction model and scoring criteria.
