“…Although the statistics, which for years have revealed the state of insecurity in Cali, and the evident need of implementing a trauma registry, the first pilot program of the first trauma registry in the city (International Trauma System Development Program-ITSD) did not begun until 2011 16 . This program allowed the identification of the reasons for the consultation, mechanism of trauma, trauma index, mortality, and other variables.…”

Background: Emergency care information systems in trauma are essential to improve the decision making and identify potential areas of intervention. Objective: To describe the first year of experience of trauma registry in two reference trauma centers of the southwestern Colombia. Methods: A study conducted in two reference trauma centers of Cali city. There were included those patients with any injury from external causes or trauma occurred between January 1st and December 31st of 2012. Information related with demographics, injury mechanism, severity injury (ISS) and mortality were collected. We presented a descriptive analysis. Results: There were registered 17,431 patients whereof 67.8% were male with a mean of 30 (±20) years old. Workplace injuries were the 28.2% cause of emergency consultation, and falls were the most prevalent trauma mechanism. Majority of patients with a ISS ≥15 were in a range age of 18-35 years (6.4%). The 28% of patients with gunshot wounds had a ISS ≥15. An overall of 2.5% of included patients died and those who had a ISS ≥15 and gunshot wounds showed a mortality of 54%. Conclusion: Upon the implementation of the trauma registry in two main hospitals of Cali city, we identify that falls and workplace injuries were the leading cause of admission to the emergency room. Severely compromised patients are in the range age of 18-35 years old. Mortality was higher for those patients who suffered gunshot wounds.

“…In a scoping review of world trauma registries in 2012, publications from trauma registries were identified from 35 countries with the majority of publications from the US and Australia [ 27 ]. Trauma registries can be used as part of a trauma quality improvement programme [ 9 , 29 ]. Implementation of trauma quality improvement programmes, which include trauma registries, has resulted in decreased mortality from trauma [ 9 ].…”

“…A trauma registry may be defined as “a timely, accurate, and comprehensive data source that allows for continuous monitoring of the process of injury care” [ 26 ]. The data encompasses all hospital trauma-related admissions and is a powerful tool for identifying injury trends and possible solutions [ 4 , 29 ]. Trauma registry data are particularly valuable in LMICs because other sources of data, which might be available in high-income countries, are less accessible in LMICs [ 25 ].…”

Background: Trauma contributes significantly to the global burden of disease. We analysed published trauma registries to assess the demographics of those most affected in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Methods: We performed a systematic review of published trauma registry studies according to PRISMA guidelines. We included published full-text articles from trauma registries in low and middle-income countries describing the demographics of trauma registry patients. Articles from military trauma registries, articles using data not principally derived from trauma registry data, articles describing patients of only one demographic (e.g. only paediatric patients), or only one mechanism of injury, trauma registry implementation papers without demographic data, review papers and conference proceedings were excluded. Results: The initial search retrieved 1868 abstracts of which 1324 remained after duplicate removal. After screening the abstracts, 78 full-text articles were scrutinised for their suitability for inclusion. Twenty three papers from 14 countries, including 103,327 patients, were deemed eligible and included for analysis. The median age of trauma victims in these articles was 27 years (IQR 25–29). The median percentage of trauma victims who were male was 75 (IQR 66–84). The median percentage of road traffic injuries (RTIs) as a percentage of total injuries caused by trauma was 46 (IQR 21–71). Conclusions: Young, male, road traffic victims represent a large proportion of the LMIC trauma burden. This information can inform and be used by local and national governments to implement road safety measures and other strategies aimed at reducing the injury rate in young males.

“…In our circle, there is a subregistry of trauma mechanisms and its secondary complications. However, in a study conducted in 2 hospitals of 2nd and 3rd level of a Colombian city (Cali-Valle del Cauca) it was determined that the stab wound represents the 10.6% as a mechanism of injury and represents the 5th cause of death by trauma constituting 4.1% [10].…”

Contralateral Traumatic Hemopneumothorax

Pneumothorax is the entry of air into the virtual space between the visceral and the parietal pleurae, which can occur spontaneously or to a greater extent in a traumatic way. In daily clinical practice it is frequent to find injuries that generate traumatic pneumothorax that is ipsilateral to the lesion. However, there are case reports of contralateral pneumothorax that occurred in procedures such as insertion of pacemakers, or in cases of pneumonectomy. The following is the case report of a 37-year-old man who was admitted with a sharp wound to the right paravertebral region who developed a left haemopneumothorax due to a tangential course of the injuring agent. Adequate clinical judgment was followed, and several imaging studies were carried out, leading to the diagnosis of traumatic pneumothorax that was contralateral to the described injury.
