Om te voorkomen dat de toestand van een ongevalsslachtoffer in deze tijdsspanne beduidend verslechtert, is eerste hulp bij ongevallen onmisbaar. Dit handboek wil voor de EHBO'er een leidraad zijn voor de hulpverlening bij frequent en minder frequent voorkomende ongevallen. De ongevalssituaties worden op een leesbare en bevattelijke wijze in een logische volgorde besproken, en met vele figuren geïllustreerd. Dit boek bevat de reanimatierichtlijnen van 2010.

Abstract

Introduction: The management of fracture nonunion poses a significant clinical challenge for musculoskeletal trauma surgeons and has an important socio-economic impact. Recent large retrospective series showed nonunion rates higher than 10 % in lower extremity fractures. This study evaluated our experience in treating patients with non-unions or defect fractures using the RIA (Reamer-Irrigator-Aspirator) technique for bone graft harvesting. Material and methods: We retrospectively evaluated patients with defect fractures, who were treated with bone graft harvested using the RIA technique between June 2008 and March 2015. Our primary outcome was clinical and radiographical bone healing. Results: We included 75 cases who underwent a RIA procedure for bone graft harvesting. Indications for the RIA procedure were defect fractures (12%), and septic or aseptic non-unions (17%, respectively 71%). In total 53,3% of the patients were classified as having a clinical and radiographical union after treatment with bone graft harvested with the RIA technique. Conclusion: In recent years, the RIA technique has emerged as an alternative in harvesting autologous bone graft. Several studies previously published positive results with high rates of union after the use of t study show less promising results in a large patient cohort, with healing rates up to 53%. Although we believe that this technique has its place in the treatment algorithm of these complex lesions, future randomized trials are necessary to evaluate the specific indications for its use.

Abstract

Traumatic injury is one of the leading causes of death and long term disabilities. A better trauma care is leading to lower death rates but consequently increases the number of disabled patients. Due to this shift, HR-QoL has become an important long term outcome factor. A trauma-specific instrument was developed by the DGU, called TOP and is a part of the POLO chart. The aim of this study is the Dutch translation and validation of TOP. The decrease of QoL can have a big economic impact and a second aim is to evaluate the cost of a trauma and the connection with the severity of an injury and the QoL. TOP scores of poly-traumatized patients (ISS > 15) and control subjects with minor injuries were compared in order to validate the TOP module. A significant decrease of the HR-QoL in polytrauma patients was measured by the TOP and was successfully validated by the EQ-5D-3L and the SF-36. These external measurement tools showed a moderate correlation with the TOP suggesting a good criterion validity. The hospital cost and the length of stay in the hospital of a polytrauma population was significantly higher. The ISS showed a correlation with the hospital cost and length of stay. The Dutch TOP module is suggested to be a valid instrument to evaluate the HR-QoL in patients with severe, multiple injuries. QoL measurement with a standardized tool could also give a clue about the mental, physical and consequently economic burden

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to map the infectious complications in polytrauma patients admitted to a level 1 trauma center and test the impact of injury severity score (ISS), gender, body mass index (BMI) and intensive care unit (ICU) stay on these infectious complications. Methods: One hundred and forty four patients were included in our study. The inclusion criteria were an ISS of >16 and admission between January 2014 and September 2016. To evaluate the impact of gender, BMI and ICU stay we excluded seven patients who died within 72 hours after admission. Results: In total 103 male and 41 female patients were included. The mean age of all these patients was 46 years (±20 SD) and a mean ISS of 23 (±8 SD). All infections were proven by a positive culture. We grouped the patients with infectious complication and those without. That way we were able to compare the patients’ characteristics of both groups. There were 131 infectious complications in total distributed over 64 patients. With a p value of <0.0001 ISS has been proven a statistical significant influence factor for infectious complication. Gender was no independent risk factor for infection posttrauma (p value: 0.852). A mean BMI of 25.18 kg/m2 (± 4.4 SD) was measured in the patients with infectious complication whilst those without an infectious complication had a mean BMI of 24.2 kg/m2 (± 4.054 SD). This has been proven significant with a p value of 0.0375. If a urinary catheter or deep venous catheter is in situ or the patient is ventilated there’s an infectious complication risk, which has been proven statistically significant. Conclusion: A higher ISS and prolonged ICU stay are associated with a higher risk of infectious complications posttrauma. No influence of gender could be proven in this study. Concerning the influence of BMI a statistically significant correlation was proven. This means that with the global obesity outbreak more and more trauma patients will have an elevated BMI and associated more infections. This means that polytrauma patients should be treated definitely as soon as physiologically possible. A multidisciplinary team should aim at early mobilization and limited ICU stay.

Abstract

SYNTHESIS The pre-injury use of antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy (APAC) increases in polytrauma patients since the population is ageing. APAC has been described as a predisposing factor for coagulopathy, an element of the trauma triad of death. We therefore hypothesised that APAC negatively influences the outcome after trauma and performed a retrospective explorative analysis over a four-year-study period comparing mortality and bleeding-related morbidity in 86 polytrauma patients 50 years or older on APAC pre-injury versus a control group who did not use this medication prior to injury. APAC included aspirin, clopidogrel, vitamin K-antagonists or a combination of these. There was no significant difference observed between APAC group and control group in mortality (p= 0.066) or bleeding-related morbidity (p >0.05). Main cause of death was traumatic brain injury in both APAC and control group. While the patients in the APAC group were significantly older than the controls, there was no significant difference in age between deceased patients and surviving patients irrespective of APAC use. An International Normalised Ratio at presentation > 1.5, independently of APAC use, was significantly correlated with early bleeding complications (p = 0.001), highlighting the possible benefit of early INR reversal. Further research is required investigating this possible age-independent trend towards a potential negative impact of pre-injury APAC on mortality in a polytrauma population.
