    Summary

    Early surgical intervention for heart injuries is crucial for survival. Promptly suturing heart wounds and addressing associated injuries significantly improves patient outcomes, reducing mortality from cardiac tamponade.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Heart injuries pose a significant threat to life.
    • Timely surgical intervention is critical for managing chest trauma.
    • Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening complication of chest injuries.

    Observation:

    • 53 patients with heart injuries were observed.
    • 52 patients underwent emergency surgery for vital indications.
    • Surgical repair involved heart wound suturing, management of concomitant injuries, and drainage of pericardial and pleural cavities.

    Findings:

    • All operated patients achieved airtightness of the injured heart muscle.
    • Seven surgically treated patients (13.5%) died post-operatively.
    • One patient who did not receive surgery died from acute cardiac tamponade.

    Implications:

    • The study underscores the critical importance of rapid surgical intervention in heart trauma.
    • Organizational improvements to expedite surgery can enhance survival rates.
    • Prompt surgical management is vital for preventing fatal outcomes like cardiac tamponade.
