ABSTRACT

Las lesiones cardiacas se han descrito con mucha claridad en el transcurso de la historia. Existen descripciones de heridas penetrantes de tórax en el papiro de Smith que data de 3000 a. C. y en la Ilíada, siglo XIX a. C, que contiene referencias específicas del desangramiento como causa de muerte y de cuerpos extraños localizados dentro del corazón. Muchos de los pacientes con lesiones cardiacas mueren en el sitio de la agresión, durante el traslado o en la sala de emergencia y muchas de estas muertes se pueden prevenir con un transporte rápido asistido, realizando un diagnóstico y manejo hemodinámico precoz en sala de emergencia y realizando una TORACOTOMÍA INMEDIATA DE EMERGENCIA, ADECUADA, AMPLIA Y DE ABORDAJE RÁPIDO, con excelente exposición cardiaca y de sus grandes vasos. Presentamos tres casos de pacientes hospitalizados en el Hospital Clínico Viedma con lesiones penetrantes de corazón que fueron sometidos a Toracotomía de Emergencia, dos de los cuales simultáneamente presentaron traumas penetrantes de abdomen por arma blanca, el manejo a cargo de cirugía general de emergencia, los tres pacientes evolucionaron de manera favorable y fueron dados de alta en óptimas condiciones.


Cardiac lesions have been described very clearly in the course of history. There are descriptions of penetrating chest wounds in the Smith papyrus dating from 3000 B C. and in the Iliad, XIX century B C, which contains specific refer-ences to the bleeding as the cause of death of foreign bodies located within the heart. Many patients with cardiac injuries die at the site of the attack, during transport or in the emergency room and many of these deaths can be prevented by rapid transport assisted by an early diagnosis and hemodynamic management in emergency room mak-ing immediate emergency thoracotomy, RIGHT, LARGE AND RAPID APPROACH, with excellent exposure heart and its large vessels. The cardiac lesions appear to be the biggest challenge of trauma surgery. Its handling requires immediate surgery, an experienced surgeon who has good technique, and the ability to offer better recovery and post-operative lifestyle for the patient. We present three patients hospitalized at Hospital Viedma with heart penetrating injuries who underwent emergency thoracotomy, two of which presented simultaneously penetrating abdominal trauma stab in charge of handling emergency general surgery, three patients evolved favorably and were discharged in optimal conditions.
