Delayed admission to hospital with proper prehospital treatments prevents severely burned patients from sepsis in China: A retrospective study
Background
Sepsis is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in burn patients. However, the optimal timing of admission which can minimize the probability of sepsis is still unclear. This study aims to determine the optimal time period of admission for severely burned patients and find out the possible reasons for it.
Method
185 victims to the Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident, which happened on August 2nd, 2014, were studied. The optimal cutpoint for continuous variables in survival models was determined by means of the maximally selected rank statistic. Univariate and multivariate analyses were further conducted to verify that admission time was not a risk factor for sepsis. Subgroup analyses were performed to find out possible contributing factors for the result.
Result
The cutoff point for admission time was determined as seven hours, which was supported by the survival curve (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that, in our study population, delayed admission time was not a risk factor for sepsis (HR = 0.610, 95 %CI = 0.415 - 0.896, p = 0.012). Subgroup analyses showed that “Tracheotomy before admission” (p = 0.002), “Whole blood transfusion” (p < 0.001), “Hemodynamic instability before admission” (p = 0.02), “Has a burn department in the hospital” (p = 0.009), “Has a burn ICU in the hospital” (p < 0.001), “Acute heart failure (AHF)” (p = 0.05), “acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)” (p = 0.05) and “GI bleeding” (p = 0.04) were all statistically significant.
Conclusion
In our study population, we found that delayed admission time was not a risk factor associated with a reduced incidence of sepsis among severely burned patients. This might be attributed to variations in prehospital treatments (whole blood transfusion and tracheotomy), whether the hospital had a burn department/ICU, and certain complications (AHF, ARDS and GI bleeding). It can be inferred that early prehospital care plays a crucial role in reducing sepsis risk among severe burn patients.
期刊介绍:
Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice.
Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to and treatment of patients and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are, or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well controlled laboratory studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on infection and new materials on scarring and healing; inflammatory responses to injury, effectiveness of related agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burns and the outcome of burn wound healing; regenerative medicine concerning the skin.
