Epidemiología de la atención prehospitalaria de las luxaciones de hombro en montaña / Epidemiology of prehospital care of shoulder dislocation in the mountain / Epidemiologia do atendimento pré-hospitalar de luxação do ombro na montanha

Objetivo: Describir las características clínico-epidemiológicas de los pacientes rescatados que presentaban luxación de hombro, así como el abordaje terapéutico. Método: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo de los pacientes atendidos durante el periodo julio 2010-diciembre 2016 que presentaban una luxación de hombro. Resultados: Se analizan 57 pacientes. Las luxaciones de hombro suponen un 42.5% de las lesiones en extremidades superiores y un 2.7% del total de rescates. La edad media es 40.7±11.9 años; 96.4% varones. El senderismo, barranquismo y esquí de montaña son las actividades con más luxaciones. El 98.2% eran tipo glenohumeral anterior. La reducción fue exitosa en 80.9%, siendo la maniobra de Kocher la más empleada. El tiempo medio hasta el primer intento de reducción cuando maniobra fue exitosa fue de 87 minutos y 142 minutos cuando fracasa. Conclusiones: Se observa un aumento en las luxaciones de hombro, siendo la mayoría reducidas en el lugar del accidente, sin existir una maniobra de elección, y mayor éxito cuanto menor tiempo hasta maniobra. Reducir sin radiografía es seguro y eficaz

Objective: To describe the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of the rescued patients with shoulder dislocation, as well as the therapeutic approach. Method: A retrospective descriptive study of the patients treated during the period July 2010-December 2016, who presented with a shoulder dislocation. Results: A total of 57 patients were analysed. Shoulder dislocations account for 42.5% of upper extremity injuries and 2.7% of total rescues. The mean age being 40.7±11.9 years; 96.4% were male. Hiking, canyoning and mountain skiing are the activities in which most of the dislocations occur. 98.2% of the dislocations were anterior glenohumeral type. The reduction was successful in 80.9%, with the Kocher manoeuvre being the most used. The mean time until the first reduction attempt was successful was 87 minutes and 142 minutes when the manoeuvre failed. Conclusions: An increase in the number of shoulder dislocation was observed, most of them reduced at the accident site, there is no evidence of a single most successful manoeuvre over another. The quicker the reduction is attempted the more success is achieved. A reduction without performing an X-ray is safe and efficient

Objetivo: Descrever as características clínico-epidemiológicas e abordagem terapêutica em pacientes resgatados com luxação do ombro. Método: Estudo descritivo retrospectivo dos pacientes que apresentaram luxação de ombro, atendidos no período de julho de 2010 a dezembro de 2016. Resultados: Um total de 57 pacientes foram analisados. Luxações do ombro representam 42.5% das lesões da extremidade superior e 2.7% do total de resgates. A médiade idade foi de 40.7 ± 11.9 anos; 96.4% eram do sexo masculino. Caminhadas, canyoning e esqui de montanha são as atividades nas quais a mayoría das luxações ocorre. 98.2% das luxações foram do tipo glenoumeral anterior. A redução foi bem sucedida em 80.9%, sendo a manobra de Kocher a mais utilizada. O tempo médio até a primeira tentativa de redução foi de 87 minutos e 142 minutos quando a manobra falhou. Conclusões: Um aumento no número de luxações do ombro foi observado e a maioria delas reduzidas no local do acidente. Não há evidência de uma única manobra de maior sucesso em detrimento de outra. Quanto mais rápidaa redução é realizada, maior é o sucesso alcançado. Uma redução sem a realização de um raio X é segura e eficiente

Epidemiology of Cardiac Events During Prehospital Care in Mountain Rescues Conducted in Aragón.

INTRODUCTION: Cardiac events are one of the leading causes of death in the Spanish population. Given the increase in the nontraumatic medical conditions found in mountain rescues, the objective of this study was to report on the heart conditions of patients rescued in the mountains of Aragón in the Spanish Pyrenees. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective observational study based on data collected from patients' medical histories for rescues undertaken in from 2010 to 2016 (at altitudes between 500 m [1640 ft] and 3404 m [11,168 ft]). RESULTS: Of the 2079 individuals rescued from 2010 to 2016, 34 (2%) were diagnosed with heart conditions, accounting for 21% of all nontraumatic medical conditions. The data showed a statistically significant increase in the age of the rescued patients with heart conditions (55±15 y) and those with acute coronary syndrome/sudden death (60±8 y). Eighty-five percent of the rescued patients with heart conditions were men, 62% were rescued above 2000 m (6500 ft), 42% had acute coronary syndrome (of whom 56% had inferior infarction), and 35% died suddenly. CONCLUSIONS: Aragón mountain rescues show an increase in patient age in recent years. The most common medical case among rescued individuals with heart conditions was a hiker over the age of 50 y with cardiovascular risk factors, inferior infarction, and occurrence at an altitude above 2000 m. Based on our observations, appropriate training should be undertaken, especially by older hikers, who may also benefit from cardiac screening, and rescue vehicles/personnel and mountain huts should be equipped with semiautomatic external defibrillators.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the clinical and epidemiologic characteristics of patients with nontraumatic medical problems rescued by a Spanish mountain emergency response service (061 Aragon). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective observational analysis of records of mountain rescues completed between July 2010 and December 2016. RESULTS: A total of 164 patients with nontraumatic medical emergencies were rescued; 82.3% were males. Most patients were between the ages of 50 and 59 years. Environmentally related problems, most often hypothermia, accounted for 36.6% of the emergencies. Cardiac problems led to 20.7% and digestive problems to 12.8%. Eighty-two percent of the patients were hiking or engaged in general mountain activities (other than rock climbing, canyoning, hunting, or skiing). CONCLUSION: Recent years have seen a rise in the number of patients requiring rescue from mountains for nontraumatic medical emergencies, particularly heart problems. The typical patient to expect would be a man between the ages of 50 and 59 years who is hiking in the summer.

OBJETIVO: Describir las características clínico-epidemiológicas de los pacientes rescatados por la unidad de rescate de montaña del 061 de Aragón que presentaron patologías médicas no traumáticas. METODO: Estudio observacional retrospectivo de los rescates de montaña realizados entre julio de 2010 y diciembre de 2016. RESULTADOS: Se analizaron 164 pacientes con patología médica de origen no traumático durante el rescate (82,3% varones). El intervalo de edad más frecuente fue de 50 a 59 años. El 36,6% presentaban patologías relacionadas con el medio, siendo la hipotermia la más frecuente. El 20,7% fue patología cardiaca y el 12,8% fueron problemas digestivos. La actividad practicada por los pacientes fue el senderismo/montañismo en un 82% de las ocasiones. CONCLUSIONES: Se observa un aumento del número de pacientes rescatados con patología médica no traumática en los últimos años, y destaca el aumento de problemas cardiacos. El paciente tipo esperable sería un varón de entre 50 y 59 años practicando senderismo en época estival.
