Age Distribution and Concomitant Injuries in Pulmonary Contusion: An Analysis Based on Routine Data

Abstract: PC shows a marked increase in the incidence, especially in older patients and as a companion diagnosis in thoracic injuries. It should be diagnosed early as well as its concomitant injuries to avoid complications.

“…Chest (thoracic) trauma (TxT) is one of the most common injuries presented to emergency departments, and it constitutes the third most common cause of death in severely injured patients [1,2]. Severe lung contusions occur in every fourth multiple-injury trauma patients [3,4]. It is well-known that next to the primary impact of chest trauma itself, ongoing, post-traumatic, systemic, and inflammatory changes caused by secondary stimuli (e.g., surgeries or infections) contribute to the development of severe pulmonary complications, including Acute Lung Injury (ALI) and its most severe form, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) [5,6].…”

“…Una de las limitaciones de nuestro análisis fue que se emplearon cuatro grandes grupos etarios con intervalos de edades amplios, lo que puede enmascarar ciertos patrones de distribución clínica como lo son la presentación trimodal de la contusión pulmonar y/o de la fractura esternal; modelos que han sido reproducidos en series internacionales utilizando múltiples grupos etarios con intervalos de edad reducidos 43,44 . Por otro lado, el grupo Adolescente podría estar subrepresentado debido a que existen casos entre 10 y 15 años que no necesariamente son evaluados y tratados por nuestro equipo.…”

“…Die Krankenhausmortalität wird mit etwa 20 % beziffert, allerdings gilt hier ein koexistentes Schädel-Hirn-Trauma (SHT) häufig als todesursächlich [5]. Insbesondere im höheren Lebensalter (> 70 Jahre) erscheint die Inzidenz der Lungenkontusion nach Trauma erhöht [6].…”

“…Die Krankenhausmortalität wird mit etwa 20 % beziffert, allerdings gilt hier ein koexistentes Schädel-Hirn-Trauma (SHT) häufig als todesursächlich [5]. Insbesondere im höheren Lebensalter (> 70 Jahre) erscheint die Inzidenz der Lungenkontusion nach Trauma erhöht [6]. Insbesondere die zunehmende Ödematisierung bewirkt erst im Verlauf eine Zunahme der kontusionellen Schädigung, die in der initialen Diagnostik oft noch nicht abgebildet ist.…”
