    Area of Science:

    • Trauma Surgery
    • Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Liver injuries present significant management challenges in trauma patients.
    • Previous studies on liver trauma management have not fully captured outcomes in the context of evolving emergency medical services.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the management and outcomes of liver injury patients treated at Westmead Hospital between 1979 and 1985.
    • To identify factors influencing survival and mortality in severe liver trauma.
    • To explore potential advancements in the pre-operative management of critical liver injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 97 patients with liver injuries.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, injury mechanisms, interventions, and outcomes.

  • Evaluation of the impact of paramedical roadside intervention and advanced imaging on patient care.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients were younger and had more frequent significant head injuries compared to previous series.
    • Paramedical intervention and the Intensive Care Ambulance system likely improved survival.
    • Non-operative management was successful in 13% of cases; hepatic resection in 10%.
    • Packing was used in 13 patients for severe injuries and coagulopathy, with 10 survivors.
    • Head injury remained a major cause of death; high-grade liver damage with vascular involvement led to mortality.

    Conclusions:

    • Advances in emergency medical services and imaging have improved liver injury patient outcomes.
    • Early identification of high-risk patients and pre-operative bleeding control are essential for improving survival.
    • Radiological interventions like balloon catheter placement may aid in controlling hemorrhage in severe cases.
