RESUMO

Damage control surgery principles allow delayed management of traumatic lesions and early metabolic resuscitation by performing abbreviated procedures and prompt resuscitation maneuvers in severely injured trauma patients. However, the initial physiological response to trauma and surgery, along with the hemostatic resuscitation efforts, causes important side effects on intracavitary organs such as tissue edema, increased cavity pressure, and hemodynamic collapse. Consequently, different techniques have been developed over the years for a delayed cavity closure. Nonetheless, the optimal management of abdominal and thoracic surgical closure remains controversial. This article aims to describe the indications and surgical techniques for delayed abdominal or thoracic closure following damage control surgery in severely injured trauma patients, based on the experience obtained by the Trauma and Emergency Surgery Group (CTE) of Cali, Colombia. We recommend negative pressure dressing as the gold standard technique for delayed cavity closure, associated with higher wall closure success rates and lower complication and mortality rates.


Los principios de la cirugía de control de daños consisten en realizar procedimientos abreviados que permiten diferir el manejo de la lesión traumática para lograr una resucitación metabólica temprana en pacientes severamente comprometidos en su fisiología. Sin embargo, la respuesta fisiológica inicial al trauma y a la cirugía, junto con los esfuerzos de resucitación hemostática, pueden generar edema en los órganos abdominales o torácicos, aumento de la presión en la cavidad visceral y repercusiones hemodinámicas. En consecuencia, con el paso de los años se han desarrollado técnicas para el cierre diferido de la cavidad; aunque, existen controversias sobre la técnica más adecuada para el cierre quirúrgico tanto del abdomen, como del tórax. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar las indicaciones y técnicas quirúrgicas para el cierre diferido del abdomen y tórax respecto a la cirugía de control de daños del paciente con trauma severo, a partir de la experiencia del grupo de cirugía de Trauma y Emergencias de Cali, Colombia. Se recomienda el uso de los sistemas de presión negativa como la estrategia ideal para el cierre diferido de la pared abdominal o torácica, que se asocia con una mayor tasa de cierre definitivo, una menor tasa de complicaciones y mejores resultados clínicos.

RESUMO

Background: After 52 years of war in 2012, the Colombian government began the negotiation of a process of peace, and by November 2012, a truce was agreed. We sought to analyze casualties who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) before and during the period of the negotiation of the comprehensive Colombian process of peace. Methods: Retrospective study of hostile casualties admitted to the ICU at a Level I trauma center from January 2011 to December 2016. Patients were subsequently divided into two groups: those seen before the declaration of the process of peace truce (November 2012) and those after (November 2012-December 2016). Patients were compared with respect to time periods. Results: Four hundred forty-eight male patients were admitted to the emergency room. Of these, 94 required ICU care. Sixty-five casualties presented before the truce and 29 during the negotiation period. Median injury severity score was significantly higher before the truce. Furthermore, the odds of presenting with severe trauma (ISS > 15) were significantly higher before the truce (OR, 5.4; (95% CI, 2.0-14.2); p < 0.01). There was a gradual decrease in the admissions to the ICU, and the performance of medical and operative procedures during the period observed. Conclusion: We describe a series of war casualties that required ICU care in a period of peace negotiation. Despite our limitations, our study presents a decline in the occurrence, severity, and consequences of war injuries probably as a result in part of the negotiation of the process of peace. The hysteresis of these results should only be interpreted for their implications in the understanding of the peace-health relationship and must not be overinterpreted and used for any political end.

RESUMO

Abstract Aim: Our objective was to describe the variations in casualties admitted to the emergency department during the period of the negotiation of the comprehensive peace agreement in Colombia between 2011 and 2016. Methods: A retrospective study of all hostile military casualties managed at a regional Level I trauma center from January 2011 to December 2016. Patients were subsequently divided into two groups: those seen before the declaration of the process of peace truce (November 2012) and those after (negotiation period). Variables were compared with respect to periods Results: A total of 448 hostile casualties were registered. There was a gradual decline in the number of admissions to the emergency department during the negotiation period. The number of soldiers suffering blast and rifle injuries also decreased over this period. In 2012 there were nearly 150 hostile casualties' admissions to the ER. This number decreased to 84, 63, 32 and 6 in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively. Both, the proportion of patients with an ISS ≥9 and admitted to the intensive care unit were significantly higher in the period before peace negotiation. From August to December/2016 no admissions of war casualties were registered. Conclusion: We describe a series of soldiers wounded in combat that were admitted to the emergency department before and during the negotiation of the Colombian process of peace. Overall, we found a trend toward a decrease in the number of casualties admitted to the emergency department possibly in part, as a result of the period of peace negotiation.


Resumen Objetivo: Describir las variaciones en los soldados heridos en combate admitidos al departamento de emergencias durante el periodo de negociación del proceso de paz colombiano entre el 2011 y el 2016. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de todos los soldados heridos en combate que fueron manejados en un centro de trauma desde Enero del 2011 a Diciembre del 2016. Los pacientes se dividieron en dos grupos: aquellos que ingresaron al departamento de emergencias antes de la tregua del proceso de paz (Noviembre 2012) y aquellos que ingresaron durante la negociación. Los grupos se compararon con respecto a los periodos de tiempo. Resultados: Un total de 448 soldados heridos en combate fueron incluidos. Hubo una disminución gradual en el número de admisiones durante el periodo de negociación. Además, el número de soldados que sufrieron heridas por explosiones y fusiles disminuyó durante este periodo. En el 2012 se registraron 150 soldados heridos en combate. Este número disminuyó a 84, 63, 32 y 6 en los años 2013, 2014, 2015 y 2016 respectivamente. La proporción de pacientes con un ISS ≥9 y la proporción de admitidos a la unidad de cuidado intensivo fueron significativamente mayores en el periodo antes de la negociación. Desde Agosto a Diciembre/2016 no se registraron admisiones. Conclusión: Este estudio describe una disminución gradual en el número de soldados heridos en combate admitidos al departamento de emergencia en un periodo de 6 años. Este fenómeno pudo deberse al periodo de negociación del proceso de paz.
