Eighty-nine consecutive trauma patients, who were treated at one institution and received emergency thoracotomy, were studied. Although 76 (85%) of the patients had no vital signs at hospital arrival, 15 (17%) patients survived the emergency thoracotomy to progress to other hospital treatments. Ten patients were ultimately discharged, nine of whom have normal functions. Maintaining a broad set of indications for emergency thoracotomy may increase survival amongst trauma patients for whom the procedure is indicated.
对在同一机构接受治疗并接受急诊开胸手术的89例连续创伤患者进行了研究。尽管76例(85%)患者入院时无生命体征,但15例(17%)患者在急诊开胸手术后存活并接受了其他医院治疗。10例患者最终出院,其中9例功能正常。维持广泛的急诊开胸手术指征可能会提高有手术指征的创伤患者的生存率。
