A comparative analysis of the economic costs of revision surgical treatment of 121 patients with non-infectious complications of internal osteosynthesis and 59 patients who underwent primary osteosynthesis for fractures of the long bones of the limbs with an uncomplicated course was carried out. General economic costs include direct and indirect costs. It was found that the total costs for the treatment of patients suffering from non-infectious complications of internal osteosynthesis of the long bones of the extremities, who are in the clinic of military traumatology and orthopedics. G.I. Turner of the Military Medical Academy in the period from 2007 to 2018 revision surgery was performed, amounted to 279637238 rubles, which corresponds to 2311051,55 rubles per patient. At the same time, the total costs for the treatment of patients with fractures of the long bones of the extremities without complications amounted to 44960873 rubles (762048,69 rubles per patient). The total cost per patient with a non-infectious complication of internal osteosynthesis of the femur was 2540499,54 rubles (483824,85 straight, 2056674,69 indirect), of the leg bones 2333762,17 rubles (474501,47 straight, 1859260,70 indirect), the humerus 1830362,75 rubles (399942 straight, 1430420,75 indirect), the bones of the forearm 1804664,6 rubles (339700 straight, 1464964,6 indirect). It was revealed that due to failures after primary osteosynthesis of limb fractures and complications, the costs associated with the direct and indirect costs of their treatment increase. In this regard, further research is needed to improve the treatment of complications of internal osteosynthesis and to develop a set of measures for their prevention. This is important both for the patient and for the health care system as a whole.

This research work is conceived as the analysis of the nursing care process in a user with a diagnosis of Acinetobacter baumannii, for the methodology used is descriptive, with a non-experimental qualitative approach, since a study is carried out on the records of the nursing care applied to a polytraumatized patient with a history of a car accident, admitted to the Intensive Care Unit from the operating room, and later diagnosed with infection by Acinetobacter Baumannii, for which a care plan based on NANDA taxonomies was developed, NOC and NIC emphasizing the hemodynamic and respiratory improvement, which allowed the patient to achieve a positive evolution, managing to discharge her to general hospitalization without ventilator support.

AbstractThe mechanism of mesenteric injury in blunt abdominal trauma involves compression and deceleration forces which result in a spectrum of injuries that range from contusions to tearing of the bowel wall, tearing of the mesentery, and loss of vascular supply. Hemoperitoneum is a major sign of severity in abdominal trauma, which, in most cases, requires emergency surgery.Our patient showed that the diagnosis of mesenteric injury should be considered even in patients who sustain only minor abdominal trauma. In this case the patient’s symptoms were suggestive only for the orthopedic lesion and not for the hemoperitoneum.Trans-scapho-lunate dislocation fracture is a rare lesion that may go unnoticed at initial assessment in a polytraumatized patient. A delay in the diagnosis and treatment of a scaphoid fracture may alter the prognosis after consolidation.

To analyze the differences between primary and secondary osteosynthesis for fractures of the lower limb with acute compartment syndrome (ACS). From our trauma database, we indentified a total number of 107 patients with 126 fractures of AO/OTA type 41 to 44 and 120 ACS from January 01, 2001 to December 31, 2015 who were treated with primary or secondary osteosynthesis after compartment incision. 71 patients with 77 fractures of AO/OTA classification type 41 to 44 suffering ACS received primary osteosynthesis after compartment incision (POCI) and were compared to 36 patients with 49 fractures of AO/OTA type 41 to 44 and ACS, who were treated by secondary osteosynthesis after compartment incision (SOCI). Patients with POCI showed a significantly shorter length of stay in the hospital with significantly less necessary surgeries for definitive treatment of the fractures and the soft tissue closure than SOCI patients (p < 0,001). The overall rate of infections in both groups were 13% without any difference between POCI and SOCI. The POCI of AO/OTA fractures type 41 to 44 with ACS is a safe and effective procedure for unilateral und single fractures of the lower limb without an increasing infection rate.

AbstractAn 18-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital because of a high impact trauma. A computed tomography scan showed massive mediastinal bleeding due to a posteriorly located rupture of the aortic arch with formation of a pseudoaneurysm. Although urgent repair was indicated, open cardiac surgery was not feasible, as this would involve full heparinization in a patient with subarachnoid bleeding. The chosen solution was to perform a percutaneous thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) and a kissing chimney procedure using a U-shape configuration.
