ObjectiveTo investigate the significance of professional pre-hospital rescue and the effect of hospital treatment on the physical and mental health for extensively gas explosion injured patients. MethodsEarly pre-hospital management and hospital treatment were both implemented for 28 injured patients in extensively gas explosion between January 2003 and May 2013. ResultsAll the 28 patients underwent strict early management and hospital treatment, including telephone reception, condition judgment, first aid, and hospital treatment. One patient died before being hospitalized, and others patients were cured and discharged from the hospital. ConclusionIt is effective to implement timely, standardized pre-hospital care in reducing mortality and it is important to implement comprehensive treatment for patients to recover their physical and mental health.
ObjectiveTo review and evaluate the research progress of traumatic heterotopic ossification (HO). Methods The domestic and foreign related research literature on traumatic HO was widely consulted, and its etiology, pathogenesis, pathological progress, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment were summarized. Results Traumatic HO is often caused by severe trauma such as joint operation, explosion injury, nerve injury, and burn. At present, it is widely believed that the occurrence of traumatic HO is closely related to inflammation and hypoxia. Oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and surgery are the main methods to prevent and treat traumatic HO. Conclusion Nowadays, the pathogenesis of traumatic HO is still unclear, the efficiency of relevant prevention and treatment measures is low, and there is a lack of specific treatment method. In the future, it is necessary to further study the pathogenesis of traumatic HO and find specific prevention and treatment targets.
