Introdução e Objetivo: O trauma físico permanece uma causa importante de morbimortalidade em Pediatria, apesar da melhoria na prevenção primária e cuidados de saúde. Pretende-se fazer uma revisão da patologia traumática que motivou internamento numa unidade de cuidados intensivos pediátricos de um Centro de Trauma Nível I. Métodos: Estudo retrospetivo dos internamentos por trauma físico na UCIPed do HSM-CHULN, de 01/01/2015 a 31/12/2019. Analisados dados demográficos, clínicos, tipo de evento, mecanismo da lesão e evolução clínica. Resultados: Foram internadas 161 crianças (8,3% das admissões), 67,1% do sexo masculino, idade média de 10,1 anos. A taxa de mortalidade foi de 3,7% (6 óbitos), idade média de 8,5 anos (σ=4,7 anos). O principal local do trauma foi a rua (70,8%), em 54% dos doentes foi efetuado transporte primário para o HSM-CHULN. O acidente de viação foi o mecanismo mais frequente (51,6%). Existiu um predomínio de trauma contuso (94,4%) e de politrauma (67%). O traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE) foi o mais frequente, tanto em monotrauma (74,6%) como em politrauma (71,8%), diretamente relacionado com o óbito em 5 doentes. Houve necessidade de suporte respiratório em 54,7% dos doentes, 33,5% tiveram suporte neurológico, 32,3% necessitaram de hemoderivados e 16,8% de suporte vasoativo. Efetuada intervenção cirúrgica em 57,1%. Na escala PTS verificou-se uma mediana global de 8 (-3; 12) e de 2,5 (-3; 8) no grupo dos óbitos. Duração média de internamento na UCIPed de 3,0 dias (σ=3,6 dias), total hospitalar de 18 dias (σ=18,3 dias), 79,5% de altas para o domicílio. Na avaliação na alta a maioria dos doentes teve PCPC – 1 (função cerebral normal - 55,3%) e POPC - 3 (limitação geral moderada - 44,1%). Conclusão: Verificou-se um predomínio do politrauma associado a acidentes de viação e uma maior morbimortalidade associada ao TCE. Para melhor caracterização da realidade nacional são necessários estudos prospetivos e multicêntricos.
Introduction and Objective: Physical trauma remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients, despite improvements in primary prevention and healthcare. This study aims to review the characteristics of trauma patients admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit at a Level 1 Trauma Centre. Methods: Retrospective study of trauma patients admitted to a PICU (UCIPed, HSM-CHULN) between 01/01/2015 and 31/12/2019. Demographic, clinical, trauma type, injury mechanism and clinical evolution data was analysed. Results: A total of 161 trauma patients (8.3% of admissions), 67.1% male, mean age of 10.1 years. Mortality rate was 3.7% (6 deaths), mean age 8.5 years (σ=4.7 years). Main site of injury was the street (70.8%) and in 54% of cases, patients were primarily transported to HSM-CHULN. Road traffic injury was the most common trauma mechanism (51.6%). Blunt trauma was the most common trauma type (94.4%) and polytrauma predominated (67%). Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) were the most frequent, isolated (74.6%) and in polytrauma (71.8%), directly related to cause of death in 5 patients. In 54.7% of patients, mechanical invasive ventilation was required, 33.5% needed neurological support, 32.3% required blood products and 16.8% vasoactive support. Surgery was performed in 57.1% of patients. On the PTS the total population median was 8 (-3; 12) and 2.5 (-3; 8) in the non-survivor group. Mean time of stay in UCIPed was 3.0 days (σ=3.6 days) and total hospital stay was 18.0 days (σ=18.3 days). Most patients (79.5%) were discharged home. At discharge, most patients scored PCPC – 1 (normal cerebral function – 55.3%) and POPC – 3 (moderate overall disability – 44.1%). Conclusion: Polytrauma predominated associated with road traffic injuries. Traumatic brain injury was associated with greater morbidity and mortality. Prospective, multicentre studies are required for a better characterization of the national trauma reality.
