Shock Index and Lactate Level as Prognostic Factors of 24-Hour Mortality in Polytraumatized Patients in Emergency Services
Main Article Content
Abstract
Trauma is third in the world in terms of causes of mortality, accounting for 10% of all deaths. It is the primary cause of mortality for most persons under 40 and leads to severe disabilities. In addition, an increasing proportion of senior trauma patients are at increased risk of mortality. Hemorrhage is one of the two main causes of mortality after trauma, with 80% of deaths occurring within 48 hours. As a result, early, individualized treatment and proper triage are critical components of the trauma system, matching resources to the severity of the patient's injuries without overburdening the system. Whether to send a patient to a trauma center is the first choice made during triage 1-4.
