Emergency Management of Pelvic Fractures: An audit of practice before and after MTC status Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle Upon Tyne, 2012- 2014 Jonathan Barnes, Ramsey Refaie, Philip Thomas, Andrew Gray
2
Introduction Background Methods Results Discussion
3
Pelvic Fractures
4
Pelvic injuries associated with major trauma – Associated injuries
5
Pelvic Fractures
6
Pelvic injuries associated with major trauma – Associated injuries Highly vascularised/multiple viscera – Risk of major haemorrhage/organ damage High mortality/morbidity CT more sensitive than X-Ray
7
Pelvic Binders Pelvic Stabilisation Reduce fracture Tamponade bleed Facilitate transfer Quick, cheap, simple Applied to all suspected pelvic fractures Applied at greater trochanters (or just below)
8
Question: “How well are we using pelvic binders?” “How are we investigating patients?” “Has MTC status changed this?”
9
Major Trauma Centre Centralised services – Consultant led, access to surgery/radiology, major trauma protocol RVI: – Northeast MTC – Adults/paeds “Could save 450-600 lives per year” MTC = increased workload, improved practice
10
Methods Retrospective cohort analysis All ED admission with pelvic # – Six months before/after MTC status – Six months one year on Reviewed imaging: – Imaging type? – Pelvic binder? – Accurate placement
11
Methods Accurate placement – Binder at level of greater trochanters Exclusions – Isolated pubic ramus fractures – Transfers
12
Results Pre MTC Status Post MTC (0- 6m) Post MTC (12-18m) Number of Patients Total Admissions Patients with binder Total admissions and binder application rates before and after MTC status *
13
Results Pre MTC Status Post MTC (0- 6m) Post MTC (12-18m) Number of Patients Total Admissions Patients with binder Total admissions and binder application rates before and after MTC status *
14
Results Pre MTC Status Post MTC (0- 6m) Post MTC (12-18m) Number of Patients Total Admissions Patients with binder Total admissions and binder application rates before and after MTC status *
15
Results Pre MTC Status Post MTC (0- 6m) Post MTC (12-18m) Number of Patients Total Admissions Patients with binder Total admissions and binder application rates before and after MTC status *
16
Results Pre MTC Status Post MTC (0- 6m) Post MTC (12-18m) Number of Patients Total Admissions Patients with binder Total admissions and binder application rates before and after MTC status * * = p < 0.05
17
Results Binder accuracy: – Before MTC – 80% – After MTC (0-6m) – 92.4% – After MTC (12-18m) – 100%
18
Results CT ScanX-Ray Pre MTC Status Post MTC (0- 6m) Post MTC (12- 18m)
19
Results CT ScanX-Ray Pre MTC Status Post MTC (0- 6m) Post MTC (12- 18m)
20
Results CT ScanX-Ray Pre MTC Status Post MTC (0- 6m) Post MTC (12- 18m) * = p < 0.05 *
21
Conclusions Pelvic fractures = major trauma Pelvic binders – simple and effective More pelvic # post MTC – Triage protocols – More major trauma
22
Conclusions Increased use of CT scan – Increased availability – Increased ED experience More binders post MTC – Not immediate effect – learning curve – ?Increased ambulance availability/experience – ?Increased ED experience Increased accuracy of binder placement
