When a trauma care is required

img

The question of going to a trauma center to receive trauma care arises in cases related to injuries of the musculoskeletal system, such as bone injuries (bone fracture, bone crack), ligament injuries (sprain, ligament tear), joint injuries (joint contusion, arthritis), tendon injuries (tendon sprain, tendon tear), muscle injuries.

 

Trauma care is usually performed using specialized tools and technologies, instrumental and laboratory indicators, if necessary. This allows the doctor to accurately determine the nature of the disorder and provide appropriate trauma care. Special equipment allows for medical interventions with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.

Timely and properly provided trauma care allows patients to return to normal life and maintain or restore its quality.

At the Valikhnovski Surgery Institute, we specialize in addressing a variety of issues requiring trauma care, including: Get acquainted

    Preparation for operations on the organs of the musculoskeletal system includes general principles of preparation for surgical interventions: Get acquainted
    img img

    in case of taking any medications, inform the doctor and agree with him/her (it may be necessary to limit them or change the dosage, regimen)

    for several days before the operation, follow a sparing diet, water and drinking regimen; if you have constipation, take laxatives, use enemas and do not drink alcoholic beverages - so that the body reacts more adequately and predictably to anesthesia and other drugs

    refrain from eating for 6-12 hours before the surgery, and 2-4 hours before the surgery do not drink, chew gum, smoke - to protect against the ingestion of stomach contents into the respiratory system during anesthesia

    on the day of surgery, take a shower, cleanse the intestines with an enema to prevent spontaneous passage of feces during anesthesia due to sphincter relaxation

    immediately before the operation –

    - removable objects (piercing jewelry, dentures) are removed from the mouth and face so that they do not accidentally get into the respiratory system or interfere with the surgical intervention during the operation
    - remove other items (contact lenses, hearing aids, jewelry.) to prevent accidental injury to the body and to prevent them from getting damaged
    - remove cosmetics (makeup, nail polish, false nails) from the body to facilitate visual assessment of the body's condition and automated registration with medical equipment
    - empty the bladder and, if necessary, the intestines to prevent spontaneous bowel movements during anesthesia
    - change into special clothes provided by the clinic.

    other preparatory measures can be taken in addition, taking into account individual characteristics of the body and the specifics of the surgical intervention

    How traumatological surgery is performed

    img

    The main stages:

    img
    img img
    • 1
      The patient is either brought to the operating room on a gurney

      or escorted on foot. At the gateway, they put on a medical cap and shoe covers (to protect against microorganisms in the air of the operating room).

    • 2
      Surgical operations are performed by an operating team

      of a certain composition, taking into account the specifics of each operation.

    • 3
      The patient is placed on the operating table

      (depending on the specifics of the operation, the body position may differ), and fixed to it with special straps to prevent accidental involuntary movements that would interfere with the operation, as well as to prevent accidental falling of the body from the table.

    • 4
      The nurse anesthetist

      punctures a vein in the arm, installs a catheter to administer the necessary drugs, places electrodes on the body to monitor the electrical activity of the heart, puts a blood pressure cuff on the shoulder and a sensor on the finger to determine the oxygen content in the blood. All this is necessary for continuous monitoring of the body's condition during anesthesia and surgery.

    • 5
      The further course of the operation depends on the specific task,

      the area of the body where the intervention is performed, and the specifics of the chosen surgical tactics, technique, etc.

    Postoperative period and rehabilitation

    After the operation, the patient wakes up in the ward for postoperative observation. If necessary, oxygen may be administered through a thin tube to ensure that the body has enough oxygen. The nurse will carefully monitor the patient’s condition and, if necessary, use medications agreed with the doctor.

    Before returning home, the doctor will examine the postoperative sutures, agree on the tactics of further rehabilitation, and give additional advice.

      QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

      What does a traumatologist treat?

      A trauma surgeon deals with the surgical treatment of injuries of bones, ligaments, joints, tendons, muscles and other pathological conditions of the musculoskeletal system.

      The specialist can not only restore the functionality lost due to a pathological condition, but also recreate the appearance.

      What are the symptoms of a need to visit a trauma surgeon?

      Injuries and diseases of bones, ligaments, joints, tendons, muscles, etc. make it advisable to visit a trauma surgeon.

      What are the symptoms of a bone fracture?

      Symptoms of a bone fracture may include acute pain, tingling or numbness, swelling or bruising, limited mobility or inability to use the injured part of the body, deformity, unusual mobility, sometimes you can hear a sound or feel the bone break, etc. If you suspect a fracture, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Depending on the severity and location of the fracture, treatment may vary from immobilization to surgery.

      When is bone repositioning and fixation with metal osteosynthesis necessary?

      Bone repositioning and fixation with metal osteosynthesis is necessary in cases of bone injuries, especially with displacement.

      Is there a guarantee for surgical treatment of injuries?

      The warranty for surgical treatment of injuries covers implants and other medical consumables and equipment. It guarantees the provision of surgical treatment services in accordance with modern medical advances, the high level of qualification of the clinic’s specialists and the technical equipment of the clinic. The final clinical effect is influenced by many factors that depend not only on the doctor and the clinic, such as individual characteristics of the body, lifestyle, environmental circumstances, and stress factors.

      How to prepare for surgery and what are the possible complications?

      Preparation for surgery includes a preliminary examination and consultation with a trauma surgeon, a comprehensive examination with photo and video analysis of appearance, anthropometry, consultation with related specialists (if necessary), etc. Immediately before surgery, the principles of preparation do not differ significantly from those generally accepted in surgery.

      Possible complications after facial surgery include general surgical complications (bleeding and thrombosis, infectious and inflammatory conditions) and more specific to this particular area (postoperative defects, bone nonunion). Careful preparation for surgery, highly qualified and experienced medical staff, modern high-tech equipment and coordinated work of the team of doctors and other clinic staff minimize the risks of complications.
