Injuries and poisonings

Polytrauma

Polytrauma in English-language literature is multiple trauma, polytrauma. Combined trauma is a collective concept that includes the following types of injuries: multiple - damage to more than two internal organs in one cavity or more than two anatomical and functional formations (segments) of the musculoskeletal system (for example, damage to the liver and intestine, fracture of the femur and forearm bones).

Pelvic and extremity trauma

Pelvic injuries are a big problem due to the anatomical features of the structure. In older people, the most common cause of pelvic injuries is a fall from one's own height.

Chest trauma

Closed chest trauma in combat conditions is represented by mine-explosive wounds, which, as a rule, have a combined nature of damage.

A bruised tailbone is painful and unsafe

A bruised tailbone is a nuisance that people rarely pay due attention to. It is easy to get a bruised tailbone, you don’t even have to fall or hit something hard.

Chest trauma

Chest trauma accounts for about 10% of all injuries in peacetime. It often leads to very serious complications in the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.

How should the wound be treated?

In the treatment of wounds, surgical (operative), chemical, physical and biological methods are used. The choice of method depends on the presence of a fresh or infected (inflamed) wound.

Polydrug addiction

Polydrug addiction (polydependence) is a disease associated with the use of two or more drugs simultaneously or in a certain sequence, with dependence on all of them formed.

Hip contusion

A hip contusion is a fairly serious injury. Its complexity is that a contusion does not cause a wound, it is a closed injury, the structure of tissues and organs is not significantly damaged.

Spinal contusion

Spinal contusion is one of the types of spinal cord injury and is classified as a stable injury accompanied by morphological changes in the spinal cord.

Assessing patient severity and predicting patient outcome

WA Knauss et al. (1981) developed and implemented the APACHE (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation) classification system, applicable to adults and older children, which provides for the use of routine parameters in the intensive care unit and is designed to assess all major physiological systems.
