Damage control surgery for treating traumatic cardiac rupture
Abstract：Objective To explore the clinical application of damage control surgery (DCS) in the treatment of traumatic cardiac rupture .Methods The clinical data of 27 traumatic cardiac rupture patients who treated with DCS concept were collected to analyze retrospectively .All patients were treated timely according to disease stages .After withdrawn intermittently by percutaneous pericardial drainage with the central venous catheter in the emergency room and anti -shock treatment , the patients were immediately switched to operating room for exploratory thoracotomy .Results DCS in the emergency room effectively slowed down the heart rate in all patients .1 patient was cured by conservative treatment without receiving operation under strictly monitoring . 2 patients were immediately cut pericardial decompression in the emergency room and carried out cardiac massage in the thoracic .Out of the 27 patients, 2 patients died and all the others were cured .Conclusion DCS can not only protect the physiological functions from the damage of trauma , but also can avoid an unnecessary surgery or a delayed surgery , therefore the saving rate for traumatic cardiac rupture patients is raised .
