Study Design: Patients with penetrating injuries to the left lower chest who were hemodynamically stable and without indications for a celiotomy were prospectively evaluated with diagnostic laparoscopy to determine the presence of an injury to the left hemidiaphragm. Diagnostic laparoscopy was performed in the operating room under general anesthesia. Results: One-hundred-ten patients ...

MEFIRE, Alain Chichom et al. Analysis of epidemiology, lesions, treatment and outcome of 354 consecutive cases of blunt and penetrating trauma to the chest in an African setting. S. Afr. j. surg. [online]. 2010, vol.48, n.3, pp.90-93. ISSN 2078-5151.. BACKGROUND: The proportion of death and disability related to trauma is increasing in Third-World countries. Thoracic trauma is significantly involved, but few data are available on this issue in African countries with specific local conditions. METHODS: The aim of the study is to analyse the diagnosis and management procedures in thoracic trauma in a typical African country. The records of 354 patients admitted to an emergency unit for chest trauma over a 13-year period were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS: The sample included patients with 231 cases of blunt and 123 of penetrating trauma to the chest; their mean age was 41.86 years, and the male:female ratio was 4.2:1. The majority (N=226) of the injuries were sustained in road traffic ...

The trauma surgeon should document, and bill for, his initial history and physical (CPT 99223: Initial Hospital Care, 5.74 total RVUs, 3.86 wRVUs) along with modifier 57 to indicate that this H&P is not included in the global surgical package because it involved the decision to operate. Without the 57 modifier, the default assumption would be that the global surgical package period of the operation was active, and therefore, no additional payments for evaluation and management (E&M) services are warranted. With appropriate documentation of the H&P (i.e., a comprehensive history, a comprehensive physical examination, and medical decision-making of high complexity), and with the addition of modifier 57, this E&M service should be paid; any denials of its payment should be appealed.. The initial operative code the trauma surgeon should use is 20103 (Exploration of Penetrating Wound [separate procedure]; Extremity: 16.72 total RVUs, 5.34 wRVUs): as the trauma surgeon completed the procedure prior to ...

770 moderately flat, and the jungle was thinned out for an area of about an acre. On the right, on the U.S. Army side of the bridge, a steep hill fell to the water in front and to the road on the side. On the left of the route, the jungle was flat, but very dense. Several dugouts were located on each side of the stream. As Company A crossed the bridge, two heavy enemy machineguns started firing, and, during the course of action for the next 24 hours, 5 men were killed and 11 wounded. The Japanese sustained at least 25 casualties, half definitely killed by rifle and automatic weapons fire and the remainder by mortar and artillery fire.. Case 4.-Multiple, severe penetrating wounds of the upper and lower extremities and of the scrotum. This man, a member of a patrol moving in single file, was struck by the first burst from a Japanese heavy machinegun.

The trouble began a little before February 25, 1975, when a Puerto Rican newspaper first reported the strange animal deaths in the small town of Moca. In Mocas Barrio Rocha, fifteen cows, three goats, two geese, and a pig were found with puncture marks on their bodies, indicating a sharp object of some sort had been inserted into them... and all autopsies showed that the animals were missing every last drop of blood. Despite these two interesting details, police apparently tried to blame the deaths on dogs; meanwhile, the newspapers dubbed the unknown threat el Vampiro de Moca, the Moca Vampire. By March 7, when a cow was found dead in Mocas Barrio Cruz with penetrating wounds on its skull and scratches around the wounds on its body, the death count had risen to over thirty animals. One theory going around was that the unknown creature was a supernatural bird of some sort, a theory based on one womans report of a strange bird pecking at her rooftop and issuing a terrifying scream. ...

A puncture wound is a deep wound made by a sharp object such as a nail or a jagged piece of metal or wood. Puncture wounds may be small in diameter and not seem serious; however, they do require treatment by a physician. Puncture wounds may become infected easily because dirt and germs are carried deep into the tissues. Sometimes, infection may be delayed, so it is very important to have your child see a physician for any puncture wound.. ...

Puncture wound of the ear in children - What is the treatment for puncture wound of the ear? Depends. Most traumatic perforations of the tympanic membrane (ear drum) heal spontaneously. Keep water out of the ear. If there is a hearing loss, vertigo or otorrhea (drainage), you must consult an otologist (ear doctor) for a more specific diagnosis and treatment. You should let us know the preceding event that led to the puncture and how large it is before specific treatment can be considered.

The study reveals a prevalence of 25.8% (CI: 19.6-31.9%) for history of ever having sustained a significant pedal puncture wound since receiving a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus among a representative sample of adult diabetics living in the parish of St. James, Jamaica. The only modifiable variable associated with risk of having sustained a pedal puncture wound after adjustment in a multiple logistic regression model (Table 2) is site of interview/paying status. Site of interview/paying status is ostensibly a measure of the quality of private versus public care and of income (patients do not access severely overcrowded public facilities if they can afford private care). It is doubtful that there is any significant difference in quality between private and public care in relation to foot care or injury prevention instruction. Neither type of facility offered podiatry services and foot care and injury prevention education were better distributed among public patients (though not to a statistically ...

A method for effecting hemostasis at a puncture wound, includes applying pressure proximal to the puncture wound, and directing a cationic biopolymer of glucosamine application surface of a closure pad against the puncture wound with force sufficient to prevent fluid from exiting the puncture wound. Then the pressure proximal to the puncture wound is removed and the force on the closure pad is maintained for at least a first predetermined time period. The force on the closure pad is removed if hemostasis is verified. The puncture wound may then be dressed over the closure pad, and the dressing and the closure pad removed after a second predetermined time period.

Follow the foot and ankle surgeon’s instructions for care of the wound to prevent complications (see “Puncture Wounds: What You Should Do†).. Infection is a common complication of puncture wounds that can lead to serious consequences. Sometimes a minor skin infection evolves into a bone or joint infection, so you should be aware of signs to look for. A minor skin infection may develop in two to five days after injury. The signs of a minor infection that show up around the wound include soreness, redness, and possibly drainage, swelling, and warmth. You may also develop a fever. If these signs have not improved, or if they reappear in 10 to 14 days, a serious infection in the joint or bone may have developed.. Other complications that may arise from inadequate treatment of puncture wounds include painful scarring in the area of the wound or a hard cyst where the foreign body has remained in the wound.. Although the complications of puncture wounds can be quite serious, early and ...

While cuts tear the skin, puncture wounds result in entry holes which can have serious consequences, according to Austin Foot and Ankle Specialists.

Deep or wide penetrating wounds that have not been sutured need to be rechecked every 24 to 48 hours for the first several days. If the penetrating wound is superficial, rechecking every three to five days until it is healed is advised.. As to prevention, take care when introducing new puppies to households with cats. Discourage your dog from running through dense vegetation. Minimize a visually impaired or blind dogs exposure to dense vegetation. If you are in an area that carries the risk of having debris transmitted to the eyes, like wooded areas, beaches, etc., it would be a good idea to have a bottle of saline eyewash to irrigate foreign debris from the eye.. Most eyes with corneal lacerations or a retained foreign object in the cornea are salvageable. The further back the injury, the poorer the prognosis for retention of vision. Cases that would warrant a poor prognoses, for example, would be an injury to the white, outer membrane of the eyeball, the sclera, or to the fluid part, the ...

Good job as always....for the foreign bodies, if it is radiopaque and visible on the xray, and I am thinking of going after it, but it is not palpable, I use the paperclip technique to localize it. I cut a paperclip so I can shape the piece into a triangle appx 1-2 cm on a side, and then tape it to the skin with the puncture wound in the center of the triangle. I then have the xray tech take two more xrays...one with the beam perpendicular to the triangle (this localizes the FB relative to the puncture wound), and the other with the beam tangential to the paperclip (this gives the exact depth). These little metal projectile type FBs can be a bit removed from the puncture wound...this technique has helped me find them numerous times. Matt Mullen, MD ...

Have it evaluated. Such injuries can potentially be dangerous as one may develop tetanus, or a number of other types of deep infections.

First Aid - Removing a Splinter You can remove splinters, larger slivers, and thorns with a needle and tweezers. Check the tweezers beforehand to be certain the ends (pickups) meet exactly. (If they do not, bend them.) Sterilize the tools with rubbing alcohol or a flame. Clean the skin surrounding the sliver briefly with rubbing alcohol before trying to remove it. Be careful not to push the splinter in deeper. If you dont have rubbing alcohol, use soap and water, but dont soak the area if FB is wood (Reason: can cause swelling of the splinter). Remove the splinter:. ...

A device is proposed for inserting hemostatic material through a tissue channel and against the outside wall of a blood vessel of a patient, wherein the blood vessel wall has a puncture therein adjacent the tissue channel. The device includes a charge of hemostatic material and a hollow sheath adapted to pass through the tissue channel, the sheath having a cross sectional profile larger than the puncture. The device places the hemostatic material in the hollow sheath and advances the hemostatic material through the sheath to the outside of the vessel wall around the puncture.

DTP ( diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis). The diseases- Diphtheria is a bacterial illness that still exists in certain parts of the world but is incredibly rare in North America. It is a very serious upper respiratory illness that can often be deadly. The disease is still present in the Caribbean and Latin America and epidemics have become more common in parts of the former Soviet Union. Tetanus (lockjaw) is a neurological illness that is caused by a bacteria that is widespread in our soil and it is a common misunderstanding that it can only be gotten with a dirty puncture wound. A simple cut in the skin and that comes in contact with soil can lead to this very serious and often deadly illness. The bacteria thrives better without oxygen, so it is true that puncture wounds are particularly worrisome. There are about 100 cases of tetanus per year in the US and about 5 deaths. Pertussis (whooping cough) is a very serious bacterial illness that is difficult to treat with antibiotics (antibiotics are ...
