| Abstract (English): |
In Mexico, accidents are the fourth cause of death, and are currently considered a public health issue. Out of the total deaths in 2005, 7.2% were due to accidents, and they affected more significantly the male population. Motor vehicle accidents were the most commonly reported type. As a result, Mexican authorities implemented a series of programs to promote a national culture for accident prevention. Nevertheless, accidents continue to cause multiple injuries to various organs and systems in those involved. Consequently, it has been suggested that polytrauma patients make up a special group with specific characteristics, requiring specialized management on admission to the emergency department. For that reason, it is important to develop practice guidelines that the general practitioner may follow for an optimal approach to patient management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
Las muertes violentas constituyen la cuarta causa de muerte en el país y su ocurrencia es considerada actualmente un problema de salud pública. De los decesos ocurridos en México durante el 2005, el 7.2% fueron debidas a accidentes y afectaron significativamente al género masculino. Los accidentes automovilísticos ocuparon el primer lugar en frecuencia de los casos reportados. Por lo anterior, diversas instancias en nuestro país han establecido programas para promover una cultura nacional tendiente a la prevención de los accidentes. A pesar de ello estas eventualidades generan lesiones múltiples en los diversos aparatos y sistemas de los siniestrados; lo que les confiere características específicas, que requieren un manejo especializado al momento de su admisión en un servicio de urgencias hospitalarias. Por tal motivo, es indispensable la generación de parámetros de práctica que orienten al clínico hacia un abordaje y terapéuticas óptimos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
