| Abstract [eng] |
The dominating reasons for transportation to hospital were head injury (39%), multiple injuries (31%), and burns (11%).The mean time from alarm until arrival at scene was 9 minutes (min 1 min., max 67 min.).The mean time from alarm until hospital arrival at scene was 54 minutes (min 20 min., max 2 hours 1 min.). Pre-hospital care was applied for 75% patients from severe trauma group, for 63% patients from moderate in severity trauma group, and for 56% patients from mild trauma group. All other trauma patients were just transportated to hospital by ambulance without any care. Oxygen, vein access, and pain medication was addministered statistically significantly (p<0.05) more frequently in severe trauma group children. Conclusions.There were no statistically significant differences in mean time from alarm until arrival at scene, as well as in mean time from alarm until hospital arrival, between all the three groups. No correlation was established between time from alarm until arrival at scene, time from alarm until hospital arrival, and patient age, trauma severity, care level, season, time, when an accident occurred. This allows to draw a conclusion that there is no differentiation and prioritization of patients that experienced moderate or severe trauma. There is no correlation between trauma severity and either time of ambulance arrival at scene or time until hospital arrival. The reason could be insufficient and inadequate initial patient status assessment for moderate and severe trauma patients. |
