Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the role of surgical procedures as secondary inflammatory insults in the development of late multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in patients with multiple trauma and to evaluate both specific and nonspecific indicators of the inflammatory response in their ability to indicate the risk of severely injured patients to develop organ failure after secondary operations. In a prospective study of 106 severely injured patients (ISS 40.6) who underwent secondary operations (> 3 days after trauma), we compared the level of preoperative inflammation with the sequelae of surgical trauma. The interventions included facial reconstructions; osteosynthesis of the pelvic girdle, long bones, and spine; and others. Group 1 consisted of 40 patients (38%) who developed respiratory, renal, or hepatic failure, or combinations thereof, within 2 days after the operation or whose preexisting organ dysfunction worsened by more than 20% from baseline. The remaining 66 patients (62%) with an uneventful recovery formed group 2. The preoperative levels of neutrophil elastase (92.2 vs. 61.3 ng/dL), C-reactive protein (12.4 vs. 7.6 mg/dL), and platelet count (118,000 vs. 236,000/microL) were significantly more abno...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
