Title

PRE-HOSPITAL TRAUMA CARE IN ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN KASHAN, IRAN

Pages

  166-171

Abstract

 Background: Iran has one of the highest rates of road TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS (RTAs) worldwide. Pre-hospital trauma care can help minimize many instances of TRAFFIC-related mortality and morbidity. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the characteristics of PRE-HOSPITAL CARE in patients who were injured in RTAs, admitted to hospital. The focus was mainly directed at evaluating pre-hospital trauma care provided in city streets and roads out of the city. Patients and Methods: This retrospective study was carried out on all trauma patients, transported by the emergency medical service (EMS) system, who were admitted to Kashan Shahid-Beheshti hospital during the period from March 2011 to March 2012. The patients’ demographic data, location of accident, damaged organs, mechanism of injury, injury severity, pre-hospital times (response, scene, transport), pre-hospital interventions and outcomes, were extracted from the data registry and analyzed through descriptive statistics using SPSS 18 software.Results: Findings of this study showed that, 75% of RTAs occurred on city streets (n=1251). Motor-car ACCIDENTS were the most frequent mechanism of RTA on city streets (n=525) (42%), while car rollover was the most frequent mechanism of RTA on roads out of the city (n=155) (44.4%). The mean pre-hospital time intervals (min); response, scene, and transport for all patients were 6.6±3.1, 10.7±5 and 13±9.8, respectively. The mean pre-hospital time intervals (response, scene, transport) in roads out of the city were higher than those in city streets. There was a significant difference (P=0.04) in the mortality rates due to RTAs between city streets (n=46) and roads out of the city (n=32). Conclusions: In comparison with road TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS on city streets, trauma patients in RTAs on roads out of the city have longer prehospital time intervals and more severe injuries; therefore, this group needs more pre-hospital resuscitation interventions.
