There are few data addressing rodeo injury outcomes, though injury incidence has been well described. The purpose of this study was to describe rodeo-related injury patterns and outcomes.
A 10-year retrospective case series was performed of patients injured in rodeo events and who were treated at an ACS-verified level I trauma center. Data regarding demographics, injury characteristics, and outcomes were summarized.
Seventy patients were identified. Half were injured by direct contact with rodeo stock and 34 by falls. Head injuries were most common, occurring in 38 (54.3%). Twenty injuries (28.6%) required surgery. Sixty-nine patients (98.6%) were discharged to home. There was one death.
Head injuries were the most common injury among this cohort. Apart from one fatality, immediate outcomes after injury were good, with most patients dismissed home. Improved data collection at the time of admission may help to evaluate the success of current safety equipment use.
尽管已经对竞技表演损伤的发生率进行了充分描述,但涉及竞技表演损伤结局的数据却很少。本研究的目的是描述与竞技表演相关的损伤模式和结局。
对在竞技表演赛事中受伤并在经美国外科学院(ACS)认证的一级创伤中心接受治疗的患者进行了一项为期10年的回顾性病例系列研究。总结了有关人口统计学、损伤特征和结局的数据。
共识别出70例患者。其中一半是因直接接触竞技表演牲畜而受伤,34例是因摔倒受伤。头部损伤最为常见,有38例(54.3%)。20例损伤(28.6%)需要手术治疗。69例患者(98.6%)出院回家。有1例死亡。
在这一队列中,头部损伤是最常见的损伤。除1例死亡外,受伤后的近期结局良好,大多数患者出院回家。入院时改进数据收集可能有助于评估当前安全设备的使用效果。
