In polytraumatized patients, pulmonary contusion complicated by pneumonia is associated with a high risk of fatality. The effects of both contusion and bacterial infection on pulmonary function can be estimated early by measuring the parameters PAPd-PCWP, pulmonary shunt volume and maximal PaO2 following FiO2 = 1.0 for 20 min.

Praxis medOT, Hirslanden Clinic St. Anna, University of Lucerne, St-Anna-Str. 32, 6006 Lucerne, Switzerland.
Article Synopsis
- Extremity fractures frequently occur in polytrauma patients, often involving soft tissue, vessels, and nerves, termed mangled extremities, and the decision for limb salvage depends on overall patient condition and limb status.
- A study analyzed data from 32,572 patients with severe limb injuries admitted to a trauma center from 2009 to 2019, focusing on incidence and management; the majority of fractures occurred in the humerus and femur, with motor vehicle accidents as the leading cause of injury.
- The study found that patients with severe chest trauma were more likely to undergo surgical amputation, but those who had amputations exhibited lower 24-hour mortality rates compared to non-amputated patients.

Article Synopsis
- * In a study involving 49 trauma patients, a high percentage (75.5%) survived, but many (77%) experienced multiple organ failure, while initial prothrombin times indicated coagulopathy in 31 patients.
- * Plasma levels of glycocalyx components syndecan-1 and hyaluronan increased significantly in the first 12 hours post-trauma, with heightened levels correlating to organ failure and mortality.
