RESULT OF TREATMENT FOR LUNG LACERATION AT VIET DUC HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Lung laceration is a rare but serious injury in blunt chest trauma. Diagnosis and treatment of lung laceration are not widely known, which easily leads to confusion and omission in clinical practice. This study aims to provide initial results in the treatment of lung laceration at Viet Duc university hospital. A cross-sectional descriptive study on 19 patients who were diagnosed with lung laceration and underwent surgical treatment, from January 2020 to October 2021. The average age of the patients participating in the study was 37.2 ± 13 years old, the male/female ratio = 2/1 with the main cause is traffic accidents accounting for 80% of the total. 19/19 patients were diagnosed are group 3 with lung laceration based on computed tomography. The patient received surgical treatment to repair lung damage with 42.1% wedge resection and 57.9% lobectomy. There were no postoperative complications, no postoperative mortality, the mean hospital stay was 11.2 ± 4.7 days. Conclusion: Surgical repair damage initially treated lung laceration gives positive results, safety, and few complications.
