ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To conduct a critical analysis of thoracotomies performed in the emergency rooms. METHODS: We analyzed mortality rates and survival as outcome variables, mechanism of injury, site of injury and anatomic injury as clinical variables, and gender and age as demographic variables of patients undergoing thoracotomy in the emergency room after traumatic injury. RESULTS: Of the 105 patients, 89.5% were male. The average age was 29.2 years. Penetrating trauma accounted for 81% of cases. The most common mechanism of trauma was wound by a firearm projectile (gunshot), in 64.7% of cases. Patients with stab wounds (SW) accounted for 16.2% of cases. Overall survival was 4.7%. Survival by gunshot was 1.4%, and by SW, 23.5%. The ERT following blunt trauma showed a 100%mortality. CONCLUSION: The results obtained in the Emergency Hospital of Porto Alegre POA-HPS are similar to those reported in the world literature. .


OBJETIVO: realizar uma análise crítica das toracotomias realizadas nas salas de emergência. MÉTODOS: foram analisadas as taxas de mortalidade e sobrevida como variáveis de desfecho, mecanismo de trauma, local da lesão e lesões anatômicas como variáveis clínicas, sexo e idade como variáveis demográficas dos pacientes submetidos à toracotomia, na sala de emergência, após lesão traumática. RESULTADOS: análise de 105 pacientes mostrou que 89,5% eram do sexo masculino. A média de idade foi 29,2 anos. O trauma penetrante respondeu por 81% dos casos. O mecanismo de trauma mais frequente foi o ferimento por projétil de arma de fogo (FPAF) com 64,7% dos casos. Os pacientes com ferimento por arma branca (FAB) responderam por 16,2% dos casos. A sobrevida global foi 4,7%. A sobrevida por FPAF foi 1,4% e por FAB, de 23,5%. A TSE por trauma contuso obteve mortalidade de 100%. CONCLUSÃO: os resultados obtidos no Hospital de Pronto Socorro de Porto Alegre HPS-POA são semelhantes aos relatados na literatura mundial. .
