ABSTRACT

Introducción: El síndrome compartimental agudo (SCA) es una complicación frecuente y potencialmente devastadora en las heridas de guerra que afectan a las extremidades, debido principalmente a las lesiones vasculares, óseas y de tejidos blandos frecuentemente asociadas, y a la dificultad para reevaluar a la baja durante su evacuación. El objetivo de esta revisión es analizar la evidencia científica disponible y actualizada sobre el manejo diagnóstico-terapéutico del SCA en la baja de combate.Material y métodos:Para la elaboración de este trabajo se ha realizado una búsqueda bibliográfica exhaustiva en las bases de datos: PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Scielo y Latindex. Para la selección de artículos, se han establecido como criterios de inclusión que fueran realizados en entornos militares o sobre poblaciones de bajas de combate, escritos en castellano o inglés, y publicados durante los últimos quince años.Resultados y conclusiones:En el entorno operativo, el diagnóstico del SCA será fundamentalmente clínico y el tratamiento consistirá en una fasciotomía precoz y completa de todos los compartimentos del miembro afectado, ya que la fasciotomía tardía o incompleta se ha asociado con peores resultados y a un aumento de la morbimortalidad. La formación continuada en cirugía de guerra ha disminuido las tasas de fasciotomías de revisión. (AU)


Introduction: Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is a frequent and potentially devastating complication of extremity war wounds, mainly due to the frequently associated vascular, bone and soft tissue injuries, and the limit close monitoring during casualty evacuation. The objective of this review is to analyze the available and updated scientific evidence on the diagnostic-therapeutic management of ACS in combat casualty.Material and Methods:For the preparation of this work, an exhaustive bibliographic search was carried out in the databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Scielo and Latindex. For the selection of articles, inclusion criteria have been established: carried out in military environments or on combat casualties populations, written in Spanish or English, and published during the last fifteen years.Results and Conclusions:In the combat zone, the diagnosis is even more heavily weighted toward clinical evaluation and the treatment will consist of a prompt and complete fasciotomy of all compartments of the affected limb, inasmuch as delayed or incomplete fasciotomy has been associated with worse outcomes and increased morbidity and mortality. Pre-deployment training of surgeons has decreased the rate of revision fasciotomies. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Comunicamos una sección completa de arteria poplítea en relación a una meniscectomía parcial artroscópica realizada un mes antes. El paciente presentaba dolor distal progresivo e incapacitante. Se encontró rotura contenida de arteria poplítea y situación de isquemia subaguda al conservar flujo distal a través de dos ramas geniculadas. La lesión fue reparada mediante cirugía vascular abierta. La artroscopia es una técnica mínimamente invasiva, con bajas tasas de morbilidad. El paquete neurovascular poplíteo está próximo a la capsula articular posterior y es potencialmente vulnerable. Las lesiones vasculares tras artroscopia de rodilla son infrecuentes. No se ha encontrado en la literatura ningún caso de rotura completa de arteria poplítea de presentación subaguda como el que se presenta. Para evitar consecuencias catastróficas, es esencial tener presente la posibilidad de una lesión vascular tras artroscopia de rodilla, incluso en casos con varias semanas desde la intervención (AU)


A patient suffered a complete popliteal artery injury one month after a partial arthroscopic meniscectomy. The patient complained of progressive and severe distal pain. A complete lesion of the popliteal artery was found. Distal vascular flow was barely supported by two geniculate arteries. Vascular repair was performed using open vascular surgery. Although the popliteal neurovascular bundle is close to the posterior capsule of the knee and is obviously potentially vulnerable, injuries in arthroscopy of the knee are very rare. To avoid catastrophic consequences, the possibility of vascular injuries following arthroscopy of the knee, even several weeks after the surgery must not be ruled out (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To describe the Spanish military medical staff's experience with the use of intraosseous lines for fluid therapy in a combat zone. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Descriptive study of 25 patients (30 needles). The patients were injured by firearms or explosive devices, or had multiple injuries, and were attended by Spanish military physicians in western Afghanistan (Herat) between March 2007 and June 2008. RESULTS: The bone puncture was performed on 19 patients in prehospital settings. The remaining 6 patients underwent the procedure in the Spanish military hospital. All patients were men; the mean (SD) age was 26 (2.3) years. Most belonged to the Afghan National Army (64%) and had injuries caused by explosive devices (68%). The largest percentage of injuries involved the lower limbs (56%). A line could be inserted in 76% of the cases (100% at the military hospital). The first-choice site of puncture was the anterior tibial tuberosity. Fluids and medications were successfully administered through the intraosseous lines. No complications occurred during needle insertion, but 5 patients reported pain. CONCLUSION: Our experience suggests that intraosseous access can provide an alternative to venous access for treating trauma patients in combat zones.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Se expone la experiencia de de la Sanidad Militar española en el uso de dispositivos de punción intraósea para fluidoterapia en una zona de combate. Pacientes y método: Estudio descriptivo de una serie de 25 pacientes. El número de agujas empleadas fue de 30. Los sujetos de estudio fueron aquellos pacientes con lesión por de arma de fuego, por explosión de artefactos explosivos o politraumatizados, atendidos por médicos militares españoles en la región oeste de Afganistán (Herat) entre marzo de 2007 y Junio de 2008. Resultados: La técnica se realizó en 19 pacientes en medio prehospitalario. A los 6 restantes les fue realizada la técnica en el hospital militar español (ROLE 2). Todos los pacientes eran varones, con una media de edad de 26 años (DE 2,3), la mayoría pertenecían al Ejército Nacional afgano (64%), presentaron heridas por artefacto explosivo (68%) y el lugar de lesión predominante fueron los miembros inferiores (56%). Se consiguió una vía permeable en el 76% de los casos. En el ROLE 2 la técnica obtuvo éxito en el 100% de los casos. El primer lugar de elección elegido fue la tuberosidad tibial anterior. La vía intraósea fue empleada para la perfusión de fluidos y medicamentos. No se encontraron complicaciones secundarias a la inserción de la aguja. Sin embargo, 5 pacientes presentaron dolor. Conclusión: Basándose en nuestra experiencia, el empleo del acceso intraóseo como alternativa al venoso, puede ser recomendable para el tratamiento del paciente traumático atendido en el ámbito militar (AU)
