Abstract

A ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) is a life-threatening condition, with high mortality rates. The Shock Index (SI) is an easy tool and a useful predictor of hemodynamic instability in trauma patients. We aimed to assess the predictive and prognostic value of the SI for patients with a suspected rAAA in the prehospital and hospital setting. This was a retrospective, observational, single-center study. Patients >18 years old who visited the emergency department with a suspected rAAA between January 2009 and December 2018 were included. Prehospital and hospital SI were calculated and analyzed for its predictive value on the presence of a rAAA, need for packed cells (PCs) and mortality. A total of 313 patients met the inclusion criteria, of which 71 patients (22.6%) presented with a rAAA. Prehospital and hospital SI were significantly increased in the rAAA group. A SI ≥ 1.0 was estimated as an optimal cutoff point for the presence of a rAAA (AUROC 0.74, 95% CI 0.67-0.82; p < 0.001) with an adjusted Odds Ratio (OR) of 5.3 (95% CI 2.13-13.39) for the prehospital SI and an adjusted OR of 18.2 (95% CI 5.83-56.73) for the hospital SI. Both prehospital and hospital SI ≥ 1.0 were associated with a higher need for PCs and amount ...Continue Reading

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.
