ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective To evaluate the epidemiologic profile, the time until care, and the type of conduct taken regarding patients who are victims of accidents with circular saws and their resulting injuries, and to make a comparison with the literature. Methods A cross-sectional descriptive study reviewing the medical records of patients cared for from April to December 2018, analyzing age, gender, injured side, affected fingers, month and time of the accident, type of injuries, procedures performed in the emergency room, time elapsed between trauma and admission to the operating room, and reapproach during hospitalization. Results A total of 54 male patients aged between 15 and 72 years were care for. The left side was more affected, and the most frequent type of lesion involved the thumb, which had to be amputated in many cases. In total, 23 patients underwent reimplantation, 3 of which were macroreimplantations. Regarding the time of trauma, 26 cases occurred between noon and 4 p.m., and the time elapsed between the accident and the admission to the operating room was ≥ 6 hours in 84% of the patients. Conclusion Circular saw lesions are predominantly severe, with a potential for leaving permanent sequelae, and they affect mainly the thumb. The characterization of the type of injury and the initial care conditions obtained in the present study may contribute to the policy of prevention and care of patients who are victims of circular saw injuries. Level of Evidence IV; Case Series.


Resumo Objetivo Avaliar o perfil epidemiológico, o tempo até o atendimento, e o tipo de conduta tomada em pacientes vítimas de acidentes com serra circular e lesões decorrentes, e fazer uma comparação com a literatura. Métodos Estudo descritivo transversal, com revisão do prontuário de pacientes atendidos de abril a dezembro de 2018, analisando idade, sexo, lado lesado, dedos acometidos, mês e horário do acidente, tipo de lesões, procedimentos realizados na urgência, tempo decorrido entre o trauma e entrada em sala cirúrgica, e reabordagem durante a internação. Resultados Foram atendidos 54 pacientes do sexo masculino com idade entre 15 e 72 anos. O lado esquerdo foi o mais acometido, e o tipo de lesão mais frequente, a amputação, envolvendo principalmente o polegar. No total, 23 pacientes foram submetidos a reimplante, e, entre eles, 3 macrorreimplantes. Quanto ao horário do trauma, 26 ocorreram entre 12h e 16h, e o tempo decorrido entre o acidente e a entrada em sala cirúrgica foi ≥ 6 horas em 84% dos pacientes. Conclusão As lesões por serra circular são predominantemente graves, com potencial de deixar sequelas permanentes, e acometem principalmente o polegar. A caracterização do tipo de lesão e as condições de atendimento inicial obtidas neste trabalho poderão ajudar na política de prevenção e atendimento a pacientes vítimas de ferimentos por serra circular. Nível de Evidência IV; Série de Casos.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: el uso de fuegos artificiales y dispositivos de pirotecnia forma parte de celebraciones y espectáculos públicos en todo el mundo. En Uruguay, su uso se encuentra concentrado en los meses estivales en eventos públicos y privados. Hay normativas para su uso, la importación y venta está regulada. En el verano de 2014-2015 hubo cuatro niños con lesiones graves de mano producidas por explosivos. Todas en circunstancias similares, compartieron el mismo mecanismo lesional y vinculados a un único dispositivo. En el año 2016 hubo más niños con iguales injurias. Objetivo: comunicar una serie de niños con injurias provocadas por un tipo de explosivo de pirotecnia con un patrón diferente al conocido previamente. Resultados: n=6. Todos varones, cinco adolescentes. Los seis presentaron lesiones severas en manos con amputación de uno o varios dedos, determinando secuelas estéticas y funcionales. Discusión: se identifica los dispositivos con alto contenido en pólvora y el mal uso de los mismos como factores asociados a las lesiones graves de mano. Se realizó una campaña desde la Sociedad Uruguaya de Pediatría, el Departamento de Emergencia Pediátrica, el Ministerio de Salud y otras autoridades para abordar este problema. Se prohíbe la venta de ese dispositivo. Conclusiones: la utilización de dispositivos de pirotecnia con alto contenido de pólvora como el megapetardo o superbomba puede determinar lesiones graves de mano, mutilantes y secuelas permanentes. No se recomienda la manipulación de fuegos artificiales por parte de los niños. El cumplimiento de las normativas vigentes y el correcto uso de los mismos podrían contribuir a disminuir estas injurias.


Summary Introduction: the use of fireworks and pyrotechnic devices are ways of public entertainment and celebration around the world. In Uruguay, they are more frequently used during summer-time in public and private events. Usage, import and sales are regulated by law. In summer 2014-2015 four children presented severe hand injuries caused by blasts, all of which occurred under similar conditions, shared the same injury mechanism and were linked to a specific device. In 2016 there were more children with similar lesions. Objective: to report a series of children with hand lesions caused by a certain type of pyrotechnic device with a pattern that was different from the one previously known. Results: n=6. All of them males 5 adolescents. The 6 children studied presented severe lesions in hands with amputation of 1 or several fingers, which resulted in aesthetic and functional sequelae. Discussion: devices with a high dose of gunpowder and their incorrect use are identified as factors associated to severe lesions. The Uruguayan Society of Pediatrics, the Pediatrics Emergency Department and the Ministry of Health, among other authorities, conducted a campaign to address this issue. The sale of this device is prohibited. Conclusions: the use of pyrotechnic devices with a high dose of gunpowder such as mega firecrackers or superbombs can result in severe hand lesions, mutilation and permanent sequelae. The handling of fireworks by children is not recommended. Fulfillment of updated regulations and the correct use of fireworks might contribute to diminishing these injuries.

ABSTRACT

This was a cross-sectional study of hand injuries [HI] presented to the Emergency Room of King Fahd Hospital of the University in Al- Khobar during the first half of the years 1995-1999. This study included 2231 patients identified over the five years. More males, Saudis and young patients [less than 39 years] were affected. In 1995, the place of injury was mainly home, followed by work. The most affected patients were children less than five years of age and students. Fingers were involved in 54.7% of cases, then wrists in 15.2%. Laceration was encountered mostly in 44.5% of cases. The cause was predominantly falls. Association between young age and severe hand injury was statistically significant

ABSTRACT

A mäo, "ferramenta de trabalho", é o maior bem do trabalhador. A selecçäo e o treinamento do trabalhador, associados a medidas preventivas, por parte do empregado e da empresa, tornam o trabalho mais humano e produtivo. A incidência de lesöes de mäo em nossa cidade é muito grande (cerca de 500 por dia) e o seu custo é de milhöes. O primeiro atendimento dessas lesöes é muito precário, merecendo po conceito de "segundo acidente". O CIPAM-SUDS/SP proporcionará atendimento mais simples e eficiente, ministrado por cirurgiöes treinados e em plantäo permanente, em postos situados longe do centro, em áreas industriais
