Résumé

Blunt chest trauma is one of the major injuries in multiply injured patients and is associated with an increased risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Accidental hypothermia is a common accompaniment of multiply injured patients. The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of accidental hypothermia on pulmonary complications in multiply injured patients with blunt chest trauma. Multiply injured patients [injury severity score (ISS) ≥16] with severe blunt chest trauma [abbreviated injury scale of the chest (AISchest) ≥3] were analyzed. Hypothermia was defined as body core temperature <35°C. The primary endpoint was the development of ARDS and VAP. Propensity score matching was performed. Data were analyzed for 238 patients, with a median ISS of 26 (interquartile range=12). A total of 67 patients (28%) were hypothermic on admission. Hypothermic patients were injured more severely (median ISS 34 vs. 24, p<0.001) and had a higher transfusion requirement (p<0.001). Their mortality rate was consequently increased (10% vs. 1%, p=0.002); After propensity score matching, the mortality rate was still higher (10% vs. 2%, p=0.046). However, hypothermia was not an independent predictor of mortality. Hypothermic patients had to be ventilated longer (p=0.02). However, there were no differences in occurrence of ARDS and VAP. Hypothermia was not identified as an independent predictor of ARDS and VAP. Among multiply injured patients with severe blunt chest trauma, accidental hypothermia is not an independent predictor of ARDS and VAP and is more likely to be an accompaniment of injury severity and hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND/AIM OBJECTIVE
Blunt chest trauma is one of the major injuries in multiply injured patients and is associated with an increased risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Accidental hypothermia is a common accompaniment of multiply injured patients. The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of accidental hypothermia on pulmonary complications in multiply injured patients with blunt chest trauma.
PATIENTS AND METHODS METHODS
Multiply injured patients [injury severity score (ISS) ≥16] with severe blunt chest trauma [abbreviated injury scale of the chest (AISchest) ≥3] were analyzed. Hypothermia was defined as body core temperature <35°C. The primary endpoint was the development of ARDS and VAP. Propensity score matching was performed.
RESULTS RESULTS
Data were analyzed for 238 patients, with a median ISS of 26 (interquartile range=12). A total of 67 patients (28%) were hypothermic on admission. Hypothermic patients were injured more severely (median ISS 34 vs. 24, p<0.001) and had a higher transfusion requirement (p<0.001). Their mortality rate was consequently increased (10% vs. 1%, p=0.002); After propensity score matching, the mortality rate was still higher (10% vs. 2%, p=0.046). However, hypothermia was not an independent predictor of mortality. Hypothermic patients had to be ventilated longer (p=0.02). However, there were no differences in occurrence of ARDS and VAP. Hypothermia was not identified as an independent predictor of ARDS and VAP.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Among multiply injured patients with severe blunt chest trauma, accidental hypothermia is not an independent predictor of ARDS and VAP and is more likely to be an accompaniment of injury severity and hemorrhage.
