Prognostic Factors in the Evaluation of Patients with Abdominal Trauma. Abel Santamaría Cuadrado General Teaching Hospital
Keywords:
Abdominal Trauma; Hemodynamic Stability; Damage Control.Abstract
Introduction: trauma is associated to incresed morbimortality, the abdomen is one of the regions most frequently affected during multiple trauma, hence the importance of identifying intra-abdominal injuries to reduce morbidity and mortality in these patients.
Objective: to identify the factors that influence the prognosis of patients with abdominal trauma at the Abel Santamaría Cuadrado General Teaching Hospital between 2021 and 2024. Methods: an observational, analytical, longitudinal, prospective study. The sample consisted of 274 patients. Statistical analysis was performed, and ethical principles were respected.
Results: abdominal trauma patients were predominantly male, young, and Caucasian. The most frequently studied type of trauma was blunt trauma. Most patients received prehospital care. Traumas without organ involvement predominated, with the spleen being the most commonly injured organ. Fewer injuries received ICU care, with those reported as critically injured predominating. 4,74 % of patients presented hemodynamic instability.
Conclusions: the study identified the main factors associated with mortality in abdominal trauma, despite the low incidence of trauma during the study period.
