BACKGROUND: |
T6 |
259-343 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Blast injuries are a rare cause of potentially life-threatening injuries in Germany. |
T7 |
344-516 |
Sentence |
denotes |
During the past 30 years such injuries were seldom the cause of mass casualties, therefore, knowledge and skills in dealing with this type of injury are not very extensive. |
T8 |

Sentence |
denotes |
MATERIAL AND METHODS: |
T9 |
539-735 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A retrospective identification of all patients in the TraumaRegister DGU® of the German Trauma Society (TR-DGU) who sustained blast injuries between January 1993 and November 2012 was carried out. |
T10 |
736-844 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The study involved a descriptive characterization of the collective as well as three additional collectives. |
T11 |
845-1043 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The arithmetic mean, standard deviation and 95 % confidence interval of the arithmetic mean for different demographic parameters and figures for prehospital and in-hospital settings were calculated. |
T12 |
1044-1213 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A computation of prognostic scores, such as the Revised Injury Severity Classification (RISC) and the updated version RISC II (TR-DGU-Project-ID 2012-035) was performed. |
T13 |
1214-1222 |
Sentence |
denotes |
RESULTS: |
T14 |
1223-1316 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A total of 137 patients with blast injuries could be identified in the dataset of the TR-DGU. |
T15 |
1317-1447 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Of the patients 90 % were male and 43 % were transported by the helicopter emergency service (HEMS) to the various trauma centres. |
T16 |
1448-1569 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The severely injured collective with a mean injury severity scale (ISS) of 18.0 (ISS ≥ 16 = 52 %) had stable vital signs. |
T17 |
1570-1771 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In none of the cases was it necessary to perform on-site emergency surgery but a very high proportion of patients (59 %) had to be surgically treated before admittance to the intensive care unit (ICU). |
T18 |
1772-1906 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Of the patients 27 % had severe soft tissue injuries with an Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) ≥ 3 and 90 % of these injuries were burns. |
T19 |
1907-2100 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The 24 h in-hospital fatality was very low (3 %) but the stay in the ICU tended to be longer than for other types of injury (mean 5.5 ventilation days and 10.7 days in the intensive care unit). |
T20 |
2101-2199 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Organ failure occurred in 36 % of the cases, multiorgan failure in 29 % and septic events in 14 %. |
T21 |
2200-2280 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Of the patients 16 % were transferred to another hospital during the first 48 h. |
T22 |
2281-2602 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The RISC and the updated RISC II tended to underestimate the severity of injuries and mortality (10.2 % vs. 6.8 % and 10.7 % vs. 7.5 %, respectively) and the trauma associated severe hemorrhage (TASH) score underestimated the probability for transfusion of more than 10 units of packed red blood cells (5.0 % vs. 12.5 %). |
T23 |
2603-2614 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSION: |
T24 |
2615-2715 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This article generates several hypotheses, which should be confirmed with additional investigations. |
T25 |
2716-3052 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Until then it has to be concluded that patients who suffer from accidental blast injuries in the civilian setting (excluding military operations and terrorist attacks) show a combination of classical severe trauma with blunt and penetrating injuries and additionally a high proportion of severe burns (combined thermomechanical injury). |
T26 |
3053-3177 |
Sentence |
denotes |
They stay longer in the ICU than other trauma patients and suffer more complications, such as sepsis and multiorgan failure. |
T27 |
3178-3289 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Established scores, such as RISC, RISC II and TASH tend to underestimate the severity of the underlying trauma. |
