Effect of damage control strategy combining pre-hospital emergency treatment with in-hospital treatment on pelvic fracture complicated by multiple injuries

Abstract

ObjectiveTo analyze the application value of damage control strategies combining pre-hospital emergency treatment with in-hospital treatment for multiple injuries in treating pelvic fracture complicated by multiple injuries. Methods120 patients with pelvic fracture complicated by multiple injuries admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to January 2023 were selected and divided into a damage control group (early temporary reduction after resuscitation, n = 60) and a control group (no reduction and resuscitation only, n = 60) by treatment methods. The control group was treated with conventional methods, while the damage control group was treated with the damage control strategy combining pre-hospital emergency treatment combined with in-hospital treatment in addition to conventional methods. The mortality rate, complication rate, fracture reduction quality, long-term efficacy, and patient satisfaction of the two groups were compared. ResultsThe mortality rate of the damage control group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference has statistical significance (P<0.05); the incidence of infection, DIC, and MODS of the damage control group were lower than that of the control group, with the difference being statistically significant (P<0.05); the incidence of ARDS in the two groups is not that different (P>0.05); the fracture reduction quality and long-term therapeutic effect of patients in the two groups were statistically different, with the damage control group outperforming the control group in both aspects; the difference between the two groups in terms of patient satisfaction was statistically significant (P<0.05), with the patient satisfaction of the damage control group being higher than that of the control group. ConclusionFor patients with pelvic fracture, the application of the damage control strategy combining pre-hospital emergency treatment and in-hospital treatment is a boon to the standardization of the treatment process, the improvement of the treatment success rate and fracture reduction quality and the reduction of complications, and therefore is worth promoting in clinical practice. the early application of external fixation has helped with the definitive reduction at a time when the patuent was stable.
