Introduction Compartment syndrome is a major factor contributing to limb loss and poor outcome following lower limb vascular injuries. Method This is a retrospective study done on patients with vascular injuries and undergone fasciotomy at the accident service operation theatre (ASOT) at the national hospital of Sri Lanka (NHSL), during a period of one year. Cases with Incomplete documentation were excluded. Data on patient demographics, time of injury, and time of fasciotomy, associated fractures, muscle viability and outcome were collected. Results A total of 30 cases were included. 26 (86%) were males. Nine (30%) were upper limb and 21(70%) were lower limb fasciotomy. The cause for limb injuries were road traffic accidents (RTA) in 18 (58.1%), trap gun injury in five (16.1%). All the fasciotomy were done prior to revascularization. 19 (63.3%) had fractures (12 (63%) were open and seven (36%) closed). six (20%) fasciotomy were done for compartment syndrome, 24 (80%) were done prophylactically. Three patients with compartment syndrome had open fractures (50%) and three had closed fractures (50%). On fasciotomy, in four cases all four leg compartment muscles were non-viable, two had non-viable three compartments and one patient had non-viable two compartments. The mean delay in patients who had all compartments viable was 3.7 hours (2-6.5) and the mean delay in patients with three or four non-viable compartments was 12.2hours (7-24). This difference was statistically significant (p-0.0001). The fasciotomy delay was also significant (p-0.0001) between the patients who had an amputation and limb salvage. Overall amputation rate was 20% in this series. Mean time of delay from admission to NHSL to the time of fasciotomy was 1.8 hours (1-3.5). Mean time of injury to time of fasciotomy was 5.42 hours (2-24). Discussion Number of non-viable compartments is significantly associated with the duration between time of injury to time of fasciotomy(P-0.0001). Therefore we suggest early fasciotomy before transfer
导言 室间隔综合征是导致下肢血管损伤后肢体缺失和预后不良的一个主要因素。本研究是一项回顾性研究,研究对象为一年内在斯里兰卡国立医院(NHSL)事故服务手术室(ASOT)接受筋膜切开术的血管损伤患者。记录不完整的病例被排除在外。收集了有关患者人口统计学、受伤时间、筋膜切开时间、相关骨折、肌肉存活率和结果的数据。结果 共纳入 30 个病例。26例(86%)为男性。9例(30%)为上肢,21例(70%)为下肢筋膜切开术。造成肢体损伤的原因是道路交通事故(RTA)18例(58.1%)和陷阱枪伤5例(16.1%)。所有的筋膜切开术都是在血管再通之前进行的。19例(63.3%)患者有骨折(12例(63%)为开放性骨折,7例(36%)为闭合性骨折)。6例(20%)筋膜切开术是为了治疗筋膜室综合征,24例(80%)是为了预防。有 3 名筋膜室综合征患者为开放性骨折(50%),3 名为闭合性骨折(50%)。在进行筋膜切开术时,有四名患者的四条腿筋膜肌肉均无法存活,两名患者的三条腿筋膜肌肉无法存活,一名患者的两条腿筋膜肌肉无法存活。所有隔间均可存活的患者的平均延迟时间为 3.7 小时(2-6.5 小时),而三个或四个隔间均不可存活的患者的平均延迟时间为 12.2 小时(7-24 小时)。这一差异具有统计学意义(P-0.0001)。截肢和肢体挽救患者的筋膜切开术延迟时间也有显著差异(P-0.0001)。该系列的总体截肢率为20%。从入住 NHSL 到进行筋膜切开术的平均延迟时间为 1.8 小时(1-3.5)。从受伤到筋膜切开的平均时间为 5.42 小时(2-24 小时)。讨论 不可存活区的数量与损伤时间到筋膜切开时间之间的持续时间显著相关(P-0.0001)。因此,我们建议在转运前尽早进行筋膜切开术。

Management of penetrating cardiac trauma is a real time test of evaluating the integrity of a trauma care system.1 They have a low incidence of 0.16% as indicated by the trauma data bank of American College of Surgeons.2 Gunshot injuries, stab injuries and rarely accidental impalement are the main mechanisms of penetrating cardiac trauma. Knowledge and experience from high density trauma centers shows us that emergency transportation, quick response and proper diagnosis with urgent intervention is necessary to minimize fatalities.3 We present this rare case highlighting major challenges trauma care system in Sri Lanka faced with to deliver optimal care
穿透性心脏创伤的处理是评估创伤救护系统完整性的实时测试。1 根据美国外科学院创伤数据库的数据,穿透性心脏创伤的发生率很低,仅为 0.16%。2 枪伤、刺伤和极少数意外刺伤是穿透性心脏创伤的主要机制。高密度创伤中心的知识和经验告诉我们,紧急运送、快速反应、正确诊断和紧急干预是将死亡人数降至最低的必要条件。

Severe liver injuries; a case series and review of the literature 严重肝损伤;病例系列和文献综述
Pub Date : 2024-03-01 DOI: 10.62474/sljt-xyof6534

Severe hepatic injuries are associated with high morbidity and mortality (30%) and are challenging to manage (1). Liver injuries occur frequently following abdominal trauma. For example in a series of 48 patients who underwent laparotomy following trauma at the National Hospital of Sri Lanka, Colombo (NHSL), 11 patients had liver injuries (22.9%). Most liver injuries can be managed non-operatively. In the case of surgical management, the focus is on damage control, packing, and vascular ligation and resection. Interventional radiological modalities are also used in the management (e.g. embolisation of the bleeding vessels). This report is on the outcome of patients who underwent liver resection following severe liver injuries.
严重肝损伤的发病率和死亡率都很高(30%),而且处理难度很大(1)。腹部创伤后经常会发生肝损伤。例如,在科伦坡斯里兰卡国立医院(NHSL)收治的一系列因外伤而接受开腹手术的 48 名患者中,有 11 名患者有肝损伤(22.9%)。大多数肝损伤可以通过非手术治疗。手术治疗的重点是控制损伤、包装、血管结扎和切除。介入放射学方法也可用于治疗(如栓塞出血血管)。本报告介绍了严重肝损伤后接受肝切除术的患者的治疗效果。

WHO has given a valuable tool for us to evaluate trauma system in a country with several defined domains. One of the most important domains is the prehospital trauma care(1). Sri Lanka is in a constant mechanism to upgrade itself in this area over several decades(2). Significant gains were made during the last decade in this aspect. The country has a mixed level of development in the subdomains under pre-hospital care(3). This editorial is focusing on a more constructive pathway to reach the high-income country type service(4).
世界卫生组织为我们评估一个国家的创伤系统提供了一个宝贵的工具,其中包括几个确定的领域。其中一个最重要的领域就是院前创伤护理(1)。数十年来,斯里兰卡在这一领域不断进行机制升级(2)。过去十年间,斯里兰卡在这方面取得了重大进展。该国在院前护理各子领域的发展水平参差不齐(3)。这篇社论的重点是为达到高收入国家的服务水平开辟一条更具建设性的道路(4)。

Suicide bombing generates a significantly larger number of casualties per attack than other uses of force by terrorist groups. Acts of terrorism are evolving and becoming more complex. Health emergency trauma care systems should advance and be resilient to withstand shocks of terror mass casualty event while catering routine community care. Easter Sunday emergency and trauma care response at the Accident Services National Hospital Sri Lanka accrued invaluable lessons to be learned and shared with global emergency care fraternity.
与恐怖组织使用武力的其他方式相比,自杀式爆炸每次袭击造成的伤亡人数要多得多。恐怖主义行为在不断演变,变得越来越复杂。创伤急救医疗系统应不断进步,在满足日常社区医疗服务的同时,还应具有抵御大规模恐怖伤亡事件冲击的能力。斯里兰卡国立事故服务医院复活节周日的急救和创伤护理应对措施积累了宝贵的经验,值得与全球急救护理界分享。

Mutilating upper limb injuries present complex challenges to both patients and surgeons, necessitating prompt and effective management strategies to achieve favorable outcomes. This retrospective study examines the cases of five consecutive patients with mangled upper limbs resulting from blunt trauma, evaluating demographics, injury mechanisms, injury patterns, and 60-day limb salvage outcomes. Among 2128 admissions between January and December 2022, five patients were identified with mangled upper limbs and open fractures, with an average age of 40.2 years and a notable male predominance (80%). The dominant hand was affected in 60% of cases, primarily due to blunt high-velocity road traffic accidents. The mean Mangled Extremity Severity Score (MESS) was 7.2, and the Ganga Hospital Open Injury Score averaged 16, indicating substantial injury severity without limb ischemia or compartment syndrome. All patients underwent definitive surgery within 48 hours, with various soft tissue reconstruction techniques employed, including free flaps, pedicle flaps, and local muscle mobilization, along with nerve grafting procedures. At the 60-day follow-up, successful limb salvage was achieved in all cases, with no instances of surgical site infection and excellent acceptance of skin grafted areas exceeding 95%. The findings underscore the importance of timely surgical intervention and comprehensive soft tissue coverage in achieving successful limb salvage outcomes in patients with mutilating upper limb injuries, emphasizing the critical role of early intervention and multidisciplinary collaboration.
上肢残伤给患者和外科医生都带来了复杂的挑战,必须采取及时有效的管理策略才能取得良好的疗效。这项回顾性研究对连续五例因钝性创伤导致上肢残缺的患者进行了研究,评估了人口统计学、损伤机制、损伤模式和 60 天的肢体挽救结果。在2022年1月至12月期间收治的2128名患者中,有五名患者被确认为上肢粉碎性骨折和开放性骨折,平均年龄为40.2岁,男性明显占多数(80%)。在60%的病例中,主要是由于钝性高速道路交通事故而导致主导手受累。肢体损伤严重程度评分(MESS)平均为7.2分,甘加医院开放性损伤评分平均为16分,表明损伤严重程度相当严重,但没有肢体缺血或室间综合征。所有患者都在 48 小时内接受了明确的手术,采用了各种软组织重建技术,包括游离皮瓣、椎弓根皮瓣、局部肌肉动员和神经移植手术。在 60 天的随访中,所有病例都成功挽救了肢体,无一例手术部位感染,植皮区域的良好接受度超过 95%。研究结果强调了及时的手术干预和全面的软组织覆盖对上肢残缺损伤患者成功实现肢体挽救的重要性,同时强调了早期干预和多学科协作的关键作用。

Over the course of the 26-year civil war in Sri Lanka between the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and the government forces, LTTE’s ‘military’ capacity and strategy evolved from guerrilla-type ambushes using landmines to semi-conventional warfare with light arms and eventually to heavy artillery and improvised explosive devices. This evolution required both military and civil surgeons to enhance their knowledge and skills in managing high-energy war wounds to handle the large number of casualties admitted to health institutions. The Sri Lanka Medical Corps (SLMC) had been meticulously organized into echelons of care with graded capacity and capability to medivac battle injured personnel from point of injury to definitive care facilities. All injured personnel eventually found their way to Colombo Army Hospital and Ragama Rehabilitation Hospital for comprehensive rehabilitation. The civil war in Sri Lanka presented a significant influx of war-related injuries, demanding the creation of a comprehensive system seamlessly integrating both military and civilian elements. With a decade of peace, accompanied by shifts in injury epidemiology, the evolving landscape has mandated the exploration of innovative strategies to sustain and enhance the surgical skill-base for both military and civilian casualty care.
在泰米尔伊拉姆猛虎解放组织(猛虎组织)与政府军之间长达 26 年的斯里兰卡内战期间,猛虎组织的 "军事 "能力和战略从使用地雷的游击式伏击演变为使用轻武器的半常规战争,最终演变为使用重型火炮和简易爆炸装置。这种演变要求军医和民间外科医生提高处理高能量战争创伤的知识和技能,以应对医疗机构收治的大量伤员。斯里兰卡医疗队(SLMC)经过精心组织,分成不同的医疗梯队,具有将战斗中受伤人员从受伤地点运送到最终医疗机构的分级能力。所有伤员最终都被送往科伦坡陆军医院和拉加马康复医院接受全面康复治疗。斯里兰卡内战期间涌入了大量与战争有关的伤员,这就要求建立一个将军事和民事元素完美结合的综合系统。随着十年和平的到来,伴随着伤病流行病学的变化,不断发展的形势要求我们探索创新战略,以维持和加强军事和民事伤员护理的外科技能基础。

Elbow dislocations occur mostly in the young adult population and nearly 50% occur during sporting activities. Diagnosis and assessment of concentric reduction following manipulation are performed using plain radiography and fluoroscopy. Computed Tomography (CT) enable identifying subtle fractures that can otherwise lead to chronic instability. Simple dislocations by definition have no associated fractures and complex dislocations are associated with a variety of fractures, with the terrible triad injury and trans-humeral dislocations leading to surgical challenges. Assessment of the direction and the mechanics of elbow dislocation enable identify the structures that have been injured. Posterior and posterolateral dislocations are the most common patterns, where the lateral ligament complex is often compromised. Most simple dislocations are amenable to reduction, immobilization, and gradual rehabilitation resulting in good functional outcome. Ongoing instability can occur in 10% of the patients. Complex dislocations pose a surgical challenge and lead to joint stiffness, pain and ongoing instability if not managed properly. Identifying the individual component of a complex dislocation such as radial head fractures, coronoid fractures, proximal ulnar fractures, and ligament injures is important for satisfactory outcome.
肘关节脱位主要发生在青壮年群体中,近50%发生在体育活动中。诊断和评估手法复位后的同心复位是通过X光平片和透视进行的。计算机断层扫描(CT)可识别可能导致慢性不稳定的细微骨折。根据定义,简单脱位不会伴有骨折,而复杂脱位则会伴有各种骨折,其中可怕的三联症损伤和跨肱骨脱位会给手术带来挑战。通过评估肘关节脱位的方向和力学原理,可以确定受伤的结构。后脱位和后外侧脱位是最常见的脱位模式,外侧韧带复合体通常会受到损伤。大多数简单的脱位都可以通过复位、固定和逐步康复达到良好的功能效果。10%的患者会出现持续性不稳定。复杂脱位给手术带来了挑战,如果处理不当,会导致关节僵硬、疼痛和持续不稳。确定复杂脱位的各个组成部分,如桡骨头骨折、冠状突骨折、尺骨近端骨折和韧带损伤,对于取得满意的疗效非常重要。
