Pure Antero-Superior Tibio-Talar Dislocation without Fracture in the setting of severe Soft Tissue Injury. A Case Report

Abstract Aims To determine the rate of injuries related to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in cardiac arrest non-survivors, comparing manual CPR with CPR performed using the Lund University Cardiac Assist System (LUCAS). Methods and results We prospectively evaluated 414 deceased adult patients using focused, standardized post-mortem investigation in years 2005 through 2013. Skeletal and soft tissue injuries were noted, and soft tissue injuries were evaluated with respect to degree of severity. We found sternal fracture in 38%, rib fracture in 77%, and severe soft tissue injury in 1.9% of cases treated with CPR with manual chest compressions (n = 52). Treatment with LUCAS CPR (n = 362) was associated with significantly higher rates of sternal fracture (80% of cases), rib fracture (96%), and severe soft tissue injury (10%), including several cases of potentially life-threatening injuries. Conclusion LUCAS CPR causes significantly more CPR-related injuries than manual CPR, while providing no proven survival benefit on a population basis. We suggest judicious use of the LUCAS device for cardiac arrest.

Severe Soft Tissue Injury

Abstract Background Acupuncture therapy is well known. But there is no report that acupuncture in patients with coagulation dysfunction in stroke may lead to severe soft tissue injury. we report a case of acupuncture leading to severe soft tissue injury.Methods A 63-year-old female patient was hospitalized for stroke rehabilitation. After 2 years of discharge, severe subcutaneous hematoma caused by acupuncture was readmitted to hospital. She received medication and physical rehabilitation. we monitored the international standardized ratio (INR) in plasma and observed the degree of dissipation of subcutaneous hematoma. the changes of patients during treatment were explored by data analysis.Findings Subcutaneous hematoma (area 20×20 cm) disappeared completely after 3 weeks of physical factor therapy. Small range (area ≤3×3 cm) subcutaneous hematoma can heal itself within 2 weeks. Improper acupuncture is only one of the causes of soft tissue injury. Stroke with coagulation dysfunction is not a contraindication of acupuncture treatment.Interpretation Our report suggests that previously unanticipated acupuncture treatment for stroke patients with coagulation dysfunction may lead to severe multiple soft tissue injuries. Although coagulation dysfunction is not a contraindication of acupuncture treatment, acupuncture treatment for stroke patients with coagulation dysfunction should be vigilant, strengthen the level of acupuncture operation, and fundamentally eliminate the problem. These cases are validation and supplement of adverse clinical reactions caused by improper acupuncture.
