Medical tactics, approaches and complex treatment effectiveness in case of multiple trauma caused by a fall from a height

Abstract

To demonstrate the approaches' implementation of specialized multidisciplinary and high-tech medical care in multistage complex treatment of patient with multiple trauma including combined severe trauma of the maxillofacial region such as minimally invasive surgical tactics with early and delayed osteosynthesis (e.g. selection of optimal surgical tactics within the periodization of traumatic disease concept). Moreover, the implementation of rational advanced intensive pathogenesis drug therapy with the prevention of infectious complications in cast of severe injuries. The tactics, approaches and results of multistage complex specialized treatment of patient K., 56 years old who has got severe concomitant injuries to various areas of the body and extremities (including multiple maxillofacial trauma) after falling from a height are presented. Rational surgical tactics and the timely initiation (immediately after admission of the victim to 1st level trauma center) of pathogenesis intensive therapy with modern drugs and antibiotics contributed to the exclusion of infectious complications in the third period (the period of maximum likelihood of complications) of traumatic illness. Comprehensive treatment of a victim with multiple trauma based on the principles of specialized, multidisciplinary and high-tech medical care is able to provide a favorable clinical outcome - the recovery with the restoration of the damaged anatomical structures functionality and the absence of cosmetic defects.
