Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

255
Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requires a collaborative healthcare approach to restore renal function and prevent complications. Essential management strategies involve monitoring fluid and electrolyte balance, adjusting medications, initiating dialysis when necessary, and providing nutritional support.Fluid and Electrolyte ManagementFluid Monitoring: Regularly monitoring body weight, central venous pressure, and urine output helps detect fluid imbalances early. Patient intake and output are...

Summary

Pediatric polytrauma (PPT) management involves orthopedic strategies, with damage control orthopedics (DCO) varying by age. Early orthopedic involvement is crucial for controlling hemorrhage in pediatric major trauma (PMT) patients.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Pediatric Care

Background:

  • Pediatric polytrauma (PPT) and major trauma in pediatric patients (PMT) present unique challenges due to anatomical and physiological differences.
  • PPT/PMT is a leading cause of death and significant cause of hospital admissions in children.
  • This study examines the initial orthopedic management of PPT/PMT.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the orthopedic management strategies for pediatric polytrauma (PPT) and major trauma in pediatric patients (PMT).
  • To evaluate the application of damage control orthopedics (DCO) in pediatric femur fractures.
  • To assess associated injuries and outcomes in PPT/PMT cases.

Main Methods:

  • A single-institution retrospective analysis of pediatric trauma patients (<18 years).
  • Analysis of diaphyseal femur fractures over 10 years to assess DCO versus definitive treatment.
  • Review of associated injuries over 4 years (2021-2024) and in-hospital mortality/PICU admission rates over 1 year (2019).

Main Results:

  • In 298 femur fractures, 15% were PPT; DCO varied by age, with 100% in adolescents (15-17 yrs) using external fixation.
  • Associated injuries included head (60%), thoracic (25%), abdominal (18%), spine (16%), major blood vessel (5%), and musculoskeletal (30%).
  • In 2019, 193 PPT/PMT patients had a 7% in-hospital mortality rate, with 46% admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit.

Conclusions:

  • Orthopedic surgeons play a key role in hemorrhage control during initial PPT/PMT evaluation.
  • DCO in adolescents is similar to adults, but its application and form differ in younger children.
  • Standard trauma assessment (PTS, ATLS) and dedicated teams are vital for managing pediatric trauma.
