Thoracic trauma is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity. Difficulties in the management of blunt thoracic trauma patients are caused by the late presentation of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Thorax trauma severity score (TTSS), introduced by Pape et al. in 2000, includes patient age, physiologic parameters, and thoracic radiological assessment. This study was aimed to assess the ability of TTSS in prediction of the occurence of ARDS in patients with blunt thoracic trauma. Statistical analysis performed was receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. In this study, there were 50 blunt thoracic trauma patients (45 males and 5 females), aged ≥18 years old, admitted to Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital during August 2016 to July 2017. Patients with penetrating thoracic trauma, history of any lung disease, and blunt thoracic trauma with onset >24 hours were excluded. The patient age range was 18-73 years with a mean of 39.02 years. Overall, 12 patients (24%) developed ARDS, 9 patients (18%) with pulmonary contusion, 20 patients (40%) with rib fracture, 25 patients (50%) with hematothorax, 6 patients (12%) with pneumothorax, and 5 patients (10%) with hypoxemia. TTSS got the most optimal value of sensitivity (100%) and specifity (92.1%) in cut-off point of 6. Conclusion: TTSS can be used as a diagnostic tool to predict ARDS in blunt thoracic trauma.Keywords: thorax trauma severity score, acute respiratory distress syndrome, blunt thoracic traumaAbstrak: Trauma toraks merupakan penyebab mortalitas dan morbiditas yang signifikan. Kesulitan penanganan pasien dengan trauma tumpul toraks disebabkan keterlambatan terdeteksinya acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Thorax trauma severity score (TTSS) yang diperkenalkan oleh Pape dkk pada tahun 2000 mencakup usia, parameter fisiologik, dan penilaian radiologik toraks. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai kemampuan TTSS dalam memrediksi kejadian ARDS pada pasien dengan trauma tumpul toraks. Analisis statistik menggunakan receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Dalam studi ini terdapat 50 pasien dengan trauma tumpul toraks (45 laki-laki dan 5 perempuan), berusia ≥18 tahun yang dirawat di RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou pada Agustus 2016 s/d Juli 2017. Pasien dengan trauma tembus toraks, riwayat penyakit paru, dan trauma tumpul toraks dengan onset >24 jam tidak diikut sertakan dalam penelitian. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan rentang usia pasien 18-73 tahun dengan rerata 39,02 tahun. Terdapat 12 pasien (24%) dengan ARDS, 9 pasien (18%) dengan kontusio paru, 20 pasien (40%) dengan fraktur kosta, 25 pasien (50%) dengan hematotoraks, 6 pasien (12%) dengan pneumotoraks, dan 5 pasien (10%) dengan hipoksemia. TTSS mendapatkan nilai paling optimal dari sensitivitas (100%) dan spesifitas (92,1%) pada cut-off point 6. Simpulan: TTSS dapat digunakan sebagai alat diagnostik untuk memrediksi kejadian ARDS pada pasien dengan trauma tumpul toraks.Kata kunci: thorax trauma severity score, acute respiratory distress syndrome, trauma tumpul toraks
Trauma continues to be major public health problem worldwide since it is associated with high morbidity and mortality in developed and developing countries. Penetrating thoracic trauma respresents a common and challenging problem whether it is caused either by gunshot or by non-gunshot-related accidents (stabs, traffic accidents). This study was aimed to obtain the profile of penetrating thoracic trauma in Surgery Emergency Unit of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado from July 2013 to June 2015. This was a retrospactive descriptive study using the medical record data of penetrating thoracic trauma patients. The results showed that there were 31 patients of penetrating thoracic trauma out of 108 patients of thoracic trauma patients. Most cases occurred in 2014 (48.41%). Based on age group, the majority of patients were at the age group 16-30 years old (58.05%). Based on sex, most patients were males (96.80%). The most common causes of penetrating thoracic trauma was puncture wounds/stabs (80.64%) and the most common intrathoracic complication was hemothorax (58.1%).Keywords: trauma, penetrating thoracic trauma. Abstrak: Trauma merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang utama di seluruh dunia karena dikaitkan dengan morbiditas dan mortalitas yang tinggi baik di negara maju dan berkembang. Trauma tembus toraks merupakan masalah umum dan menantang, baik oleh tembakan atau non-tembakan-kecelakanaan (tikaman, kecelakaan lalu lintas). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan pola trauma tembus toraks di IRDB RSUP Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado periode Juli 2013 – Juni 2015. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif retrospektif dengan menggunakan data rekam medik pasien trauma tembus toraks di IRDB RSU Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan jumlah kasus trauma tembus toraks sebanyak 31 pasien dari 108 pasien trauma toraks. Kasus terbanyak terjadi pada tahun 2014 (48,41%). Berdasarkan kelompok usia mayoritas penderita trauma tembus toraks (58,05%)pada usia 16-30 tahun. Berdasarkan jenis kelamin sebagian besar penderita (96,80%) berjenis kelamin laki-laki. Penyebab trauma tembus toraks terbanyak karena luka tusukan/tikaman (80,64%), dan komplikasi intratoraks terbanyak yaitu hemotoraks (58,1%). Kata kunci: trauma, trauma tembus toraks
