Patterns and Severity of Motorcycle Accidents Injuries at Tanta University Emergency Hospital

Background and aim Motorcycle accidents are one of the leading causes of road traffic injuries and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the common patterns of major injuries associated with motorcycle accidents in patients attending Mansoura University Emergency Hospital in Egypt, and to measure the magnitude of the problem in our community. Patients and methods Patients involved in motorcycle crashes who were admitted to the hospital during August 2014 to April 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. All age groups and both genders were included. Results Two hundred patients (181 males) with a mean age of 30.7 ± 10.5 years were included with the majority of patients aged 20–40 years. Head injuries were the most frequent fatal injuries (9/61) patients; orthopedic injuries were the most common injuries, occurring in 78.5% of victims. Multisystem injuries occurred in 28% of patients. None of the motorcyclists involved in accidents wore helmets. Conclusion Motorcycle accidents are a common cause of road traffic injuries and mortalities in Egypt, occurring mainly in males aged 20–40 years. The majority of victims had an isolated trauma to single body system. Orthopedic injuries were the most common and least fatal type of injuries. The highest fatalities were among patients with chest injuries then patients with head injuries. None of the victims wore protective clothing or helmets at the time of accident.

Hospital Development

Development of a system for the delivery of emergency care in a hospital inevitably raises questions of its availability and quality. And, if the leading pathological syndrome which is a reason for hospitalization and posing a threat to the patient's life deserves priority attention, then the accompanying pathology often stays in the background. At the same time the accompanying pathology related to the field of dermatovenerology poses epidemiological threat. The aim of the study was to improve the organization of health care for patients with concomitant pathology related to dermatovenerology in an emergency hospital. Development of new models and principles of the organization of medical and diagnostic process, introduction of methods of express diagnostics is required; importance of a dermatovenerologist becomes obvious, it will increase the availability and quality of care for patients with dermatovenereological pathology in an emergency hospital.

Liechtenstein procedure represents the most frequent technique used for surgical abdominal interventions. Although, it is a modern and inovative procedure, it still has a relative risk for complications. A number of 93 subjects were included in our research. We develop our study in General Surgery Department of County Emergency Hospital of Craiova, Romania between 1st July 2017-31th March 2018. From the total of 93 patients, 88% were men. Most of subjects had ages between 70 and 79 years old, were operated by Liechtenstein technique and they were coming from quite equal percent from rural and urban areas.The incidence for complications(seroma, hematoma, infection, abscess) was generally lower for the patients diagnosticated with Liechtenstein procedure comparing with the subjects operated by other technique. Liechtenstein procedureis recommended especially for its simplicity and efficiency, reproducibility and safety. It is very important to choose the perfect synthetic prosthetic material to have a good evolution of the disorder and a small recurrence rate.
