摘要

背景:儿科枪伤对急诊护理提出了重大挑战,强调了在大量事件管理中需要精确的策略。本研究旨在评估急诊科的儿科枪伤病例及其结果,有助于根据患者数量制定更详细的大容量事件分类。方法:回顾性分析在一级创伤中心进行,重点是儿科枪伤入院。患者按入院类型进行分类:同一事件的单次和多次同时入院。进一步的分析区分了涉及三个或更多受害者的事件和受害者较少的事件,以评估对紧急护理结果的影响。结果:本研究纳入182例小儿枪伤患者,中位年龄16岁(IQR 13.75-17)。采用两种分组方法对患者进行分析:第一种方法将患者分为单次就诊(n=103, 56.6%)和多次就诊(n=79, 43.4%)。在这一比较中,多名患者的输血率较低(RR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.35-0.95),但死亡率相似(RR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.31-2.44)。第二种分组方法将受害者人数为3人或以上的事件(n=35, 19.2%)与受害者人数较少的事件(n=147, 80.8%)进行分类。该分析表明,有三个或更多受害者的事件具有更高的死亡率(RR: 2.81, 95% CI: 1.08-7.31)。多名患者的平均急诊时间(54.1+-22.5分钟)比单独患者的(65.2+-48.8分钟)要短。结论:研究结果表明,同时有三个或更多受害者的儿科枪击事件,无论分诊类别如何,都会显著影响死亡率和单一创伤小组中心的急诊住院时间。这突出了根据这样的患者数量来定义MCIs以优化急诊护理反应和改善结果的必要性。建立客观的、以结果为中心的大容量事件分类标准对于在这些危急情况下加强患者护理和资源分配至关重要。

Evaluation of pediatric gunshot wounds and emergency department dynamics in high-volume incidents.

Background: Pediatric gunshot injuries present significant challenges to emergency care, highlighting the need for precise strategies in the management of high-volume incidents. This study aims to assess pediatric gunshot injuries presenting to the emergency department in clusters and their outcomes, contributing to the development of a more detailed high-volume incidents classification based on patient numbers.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted at a level-one trauma center, focusing on pediatric gunshot admissions. Patients were segmented by admission type: single versus multiple simultaneous admissions from the same incident. Further analysis distinguished between incidents involving three or more victims and those with fewer victims to assess the impact on emergency care outcomes.

Results: This study included 182 pediatric patients with gunshot injuries, with a median age of 16 years (IQR 13.75-17). Patients were analyzed using two grouping methods: the first divided patients into single admissions (n=103, 56.6%) and multi-victim presentations (n=79, 43.4%). In this comparison, multi-victim presentations had a lower rate of blood transfusions (RR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.35-0.95) but similar mortality rates (RR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.31-2.44). The second grouping method classified incidents with three or more victims (n=35, 19.2%) versus fewer victims (n=147, 80.8%). This analysis showed that incidents with three or more victims had a higher mortality rate (RR: 2.81, 95% CI: 1.08-7.31). The average ED stay was shorter for multi-victim presentations (54.1+-22.5 minutes) compared to solo presentations (65.2+-48.8 minutes).

Conclusion: Findings indicate that pediatric gunshot incidents with three or more simultaneous victims, regardless of triage category, significantly affect mortality and ED stay lengths in a center with a single trauma team. This highlights the necessity of defining MCIs based on such patient volumes to optimize emergency care responses and improve outcomes. Establishing objective, outcome-focused criteria for high-volume incidents classification is crucial for enhancing patient care and resource allocation in these critical situations.
