Approximately 914 new dog bite injuries requiring emergency department visits occur daily in the United States. Attacks by dogs with training and strength to attack should be triaged cautiously because of the possibility of serious internal injury. A high index of suspicion is needed when treating patients with neck injuries secondary to dog bites. We report a case of successfully treated combined carotid artery and laryngeal injury produced by a dog bite.
在美国,每天约有914起需要前往急诊科就诊的新的犬咬伤事件发生。由于存在严重内伤的可能性,对于有攻击训练和攻击能力的犬只发动的袭击应谨慎进行分诊。在治疗犬咬伤继发颈部损伤的患者时,需要高度怀疑。我们报告一例成功治疗的犬咬伤导致的颈总动脉和喉部联合损伤病例。
