ETIOLOGY, FREQUENCY AND CONSEQUENCES OF POLYTRAUMA. LITERATURE REVIEW
Background: Polytrauma is one of the most alarming elements of road injuries because it usually accompanies severe injuries such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI). The consequences of injury cause life loss and disability for victims as well as represent a burden to healthcare systems and economies through loss of productivity and high healthcare costs (James et al. 2019; Abbafati et al. 2020b). A recently published Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) study showed that road injuries ranked first in the top 10 causes among people aged 10 to 49 years. The evaluation, management, and prognosis of a polytrauma are substantially different and challenging due to its complicated mechanisms, which are road traffic collision, drops from heights, and homicides. According to he WHO Global Status Report on Road Safety states that road accidents caused more than 1.3 million deaths and severe injuries globally every year disproportionally affecting mostly middle-income counties.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore etiology, frequency and consequences of polytrauma.
Methods: Manuscripts dealing with polytrauma were reviewed. Also we reviewed English- and Russian-language articles in PubMed and eLibrary.ru. The following search modules were selected in PubMed Medline and eLibrary.ru: Polytrauma, Definition of the term “polytrauma”, Golden Hour, Infectious and noninfectious complications in polytraumatized patients. We studied data on from the period of 2000 to 2020. Case reports and case series were excluded. Studies of isolated trauma patients and childhood trauma were excluded.
Results: This article presents a literature review of etiology, frequency of occurrence of polytrauma, their temporary and permanent consequences in patients. The article also gives definition of the term "polytrauma" and explains the importance of the rule of “Golden Hour”. The frequency of infectious and noninfectious complications in polytraumatized patients was analyzed on the basis of the literature data.
Conclusion: In literary sources, it can be noted that the intensive development of the technical and construction industries provokes an increase in the number of polytraumas not only in our country, but throughout the world. Although patients with polytrauma remain alive, many of the consequences persist and lead to temporary or permanent disability. According to the rule of “golden hour”, the sooner a patient receives definitive care, the higher is the likelihood that medical and surgical treatment will prevent their death. Therefore, when clinical teams and facilities are organized to meet best practice clinical guidelines and standard services within the trauma system, each patient’s mortality and morbidity could be significantly reduced.
