Characterization of patients with chest trauma
Keywords:
THORAX/EPIDEMIOLOGY, ENTERAL NUTRITION.Abstract
Introduction: chest trauma is a serious health problem. It constitutes one of the most frequent emergencies and is among the most important causes of admission, with high percentages of mortality.
Objective: to characterize the patients admitted for thoracic trauma at Abel Santamaría Cuadrado General Teaching Hospital, in the period 2016-2018.
Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional and observational study was conducted on patients admitted for thoracic trauma. The target group comprised 303 patients diagnosed and registered in the files of the center during the described period, and the sample included 301 cases. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods were applied.
Results: male sex predominated (94%), mean age was 46±17.03 years. Soft tissue lesions (36.9%) and intercostal neuritis (19.9%) prevailed; 21% required emergency surgery, where 27% presented complications. The average stay was 3.5 days/patient; the cost was 147,565.1 cup. An association was found between on time administration of early enteral nutrition and a shorter hospital stay.
Conclusions: male patients between the third and fourth decade of life were prone to suffer from chest trauma. Surgical interventions were necessary in a smaller percentage, showing few complications, with predominance of recurrent pneumothorax. Both early enteral nutrition as stays of less than four days, were frequent in these patients.
