ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCE IN TRAUMA PATIENTS FOLLOWING TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS TREATED AT CAN THO CITY GENERAL HOSPITAL IN 2023-2024
Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
Background: Electrolyte imbalance in trauma patients can lead to life-threatening conditions, impacting vital organ systems. Trauma is a significant global health concern, particularly in developing countries like Vietnam. Laboratory tests can help assess the severity of medical conditions in trauma patients. Objectives: To investigate electrolyte imbalances in trauma patients following traffic accidents in Can Tho City General Hospital from 2023 to 2024, examining their prevalence and connection to injury severity. Materials and methods: A prospective descriptive study of 384 patients Following Traffic Accidents Treated at Can Tho City General Hospital, from 2023 to 2024. Results: Most patients were older males with limb injuries. Potassium significantly affected ISS (p=0.007) but not sodium (p=0.269). Treatments varied by ISS, with surgery increasing for more severe injuries (p=0.035). Conclusion: Relationships were identified between potassium levels, trauma severity and treatments. Insights from this study can guide clinical practice and management of electrolyte imbalances in trauma.
