Abstract
Aim of the study: Emergency resuscitative thoracotomy (ERT) has been described as a potentially life-saving procedure for trauma patients who have been admitted in refractory shock or with recent loss of sign of life (SOL). This nationwide registry analysis aimed to describe the French practice of ERT.
Patients and methods: From 2015 to 2021, all severe trauma patients who underwent ERT were extracted from the TraumaBase→ registry. Demographic data, prehospital management and in-hospital outcomes were recorded to evaluate predictors of success-to rescue after ERT at 24-hour and 28-day.
Results: Only 10/26 Trauma centers have an effective practice of ERT, three of them perform more than 1 ERT/year. Sixty-six patients (74% male, 49/66) with a median age of 37 y/o [26-51], mostly with blunt trauma (52%, 35/66) were managed with ERT. The median pre-hospital time was 64mins [45-89]. At admission, the median injury severity score was 35 [25-48], and 51% (16/30) of patients have lost SOL. ERT was associated with a massive transfusion protocol including 8 RBCs [6-13], 6 FFPs [4-10], and 0 PCs [0-1] in the first 6h. The overall success-to-rescue after ERT at 24-h and 28-d were 27% and 15%, respectively. In case of refractory shock after penetrating trauma, survival was 64% at 24-hours and 47% at 28-days.
Conclusions: ERT integrated into the trauma protocol remains a life-saving procedure that appears to be underutilized in France, despite significant success-to-rescue observed by trained teams for selected patients.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Visceral Surgery (JVS) is the online-only, English version of the French Journal de Chirurgie Viscérale. The journal focuses on clinical research and continuing education, and publishes original and review articles related to general surgery, as well as press reviews of recently published major international works. High-quality illustrations of surgical techniques, images and videos serve as support for clinical evaluation and practice optimization.
JVS is indexed in the main international databases (including Medline) and is accessible worldwide through ScienceDirect and ClinicalKey.
