The development of titanium claw plates has made rib osteosynthesis easy to achieve and led to a renewed interest for this surgery. We report the management of patients referred to the intensive care unit (ICU) of a referral center for surgical rib fracture fixation (SRFF) after chest trauma.
We performed a retrospective observational cohort study describing the patients' characteristics and analyzing the determinants of postoperative complications.
From November 2013 to December 2016, 42 patients were referred to our center for SRFF: 12 patients (29%) had acute respiratory failure, 6 of whom received invasive mechanical ventilation. The Thoracic Trauma Severity Score (TTSS) was 11.0 [9-12], with 7 [5-9] broken ribs and a flail chest in 92% of cases. A postoperative complication occurred in 18 patients (43%). Five patients developed ARDS (12%). Postoperative pneumonia occurred in 11 patients (26%). Two patients died in the ICU. In multivariable analysis, the Thoracic Trauma Severity Score (TTSS) (OR = 1.89; CI 95% 1.12-3.17; p = 0.016) and the Simplified Acute Physiology Score II without age (OR = 1.17; CI 95% 1.02-1.34; p = 0.024) were independently associated with the occurrence of a postoperative complication.
The TTSS score appears to be accurate for determining thoracic trauma severity. Short and long-term benefit of Surgical Rib Fracture Fixation should be assessed, particularly in non-mechanically ventilated patients.
钛制爪板的发展使得肋骨骨折内固定变得容易实现,并重新引起了人们对这种手术的兴趣。我们报告了转诊至外科肋骨骨折内固定(SRFF)治疗中心的创伤后入住重症监护病房(ICU)患者的治疗情况。
我们进行了一项回顾性观察性队列研究,描述了患者的特征,并分析了术后并发症的决定因素。
2013 年 11 月至 2016 年 12 月期间,共有 42 例患者转诊至我院进行 SRFF:12 例(29%)发生急性呼吸衰竭,其中 6 例接受了有创机械通气。胸外伤严重程度评分(TTSS)为 11.0[9-12]分,7 例(5-9)根肋骨骨折,92%的患者为连枷胸。18 例(43%)患者术后出现并发症。5 例患者发生 ARDS(12%)。11 例患者发生术后肺炎。2 例患者在 ICU 死亡。多变量分析显示,胸外伤严重程度评分(TTSS)(OR=1.89;95%CI 1.12-3.17;p=0.016)和简化急性生理学评分 II 且无年龄因素(OR=1.17;95%CI 1.02-1.34;p=0.024)与术后并发症的发生独立相关。
TTSS 评分似乎能准确判断胸外伤严重程度。应评估外科肋骨骨折内固定的短期和长期获益,特别是对非机械通气患者。
