Injuries and poisonings

Polytrauma

Polytrauma in the English-language literature - multiple trauma, polytrauma. Combined trauma is a collective concept that includes the following types of damage: multiple - damage to more than two internal organs in one cavity or more than two anatomical and functional structures (segments) of the musculoskeletal system (for example, damage to the liver and intestine, fracture of the femur and forearm bones ).

Injury of pelvis and extremities

Pelvic injuries due to anatomical structural features are a big problem. In the elderly, the most frequent cause of pelvic damage is a drop from the height of its own growth.

Breast Injury

Closed chest trauma in combat conditions is represented by mine-explosive wounds, which, as a rule, have a combined injury character.

Coccyx injury - painful and insecure

A tailbone injury is a nuisance that people rarely pay due attention to. Getting a tailbone injury is easier than ever; you don’t even have to fall or bump hard about anything.

Trauma of the chest

Trauma of the chest in peacetime is about 10% of all injuries. It often leads to very serious complications from the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.

How is it necessary to treat the wound?

In the treatment of wounds, surgical (operational), chemical, physical and biological methods are used. The choice of method depends on the presence of a fresh or infected (inflamed) wound.

Polydrug addiction

Polynarcomania (poly-dependence) is a disease associated with the use of two or more narcotic drugs at the same time or in a certain sequence, and to all of them a dependence is formed.

Bruised thigh

A hip injury - the injury is severe enough. Its complexity is that with a bruise there is no wound, this is a closed injury, the structure of tissues and organs is not significantly disturbed.

Backbone bruise

Spinal contusion refers to one of the types of spinal cord injury and is classified as a stable trauma, accompanied by morphological changes in the spinal cord.

Assessing the severity of the patient's condition and predicting the outcome

WA Knauss et al. (1981) developed and implemented a classification system based on the APACHE (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation) assessment, applicable to adults and older children, which involves the use of routine parameters in the intensive care unit and is designed to evaluate all major physiological systems.
