MANAGEMENT OF AN OPEN THORACOABDOMINAL TRAUMATIC WOUND AFTER 13 HOURS OF ACCIDENT WITH INVOLVEMENT OF MULTIPLE ORGAN IN A PAEDIATRIC PATIENT AN EXPERIENCE

Dr Pallavi Singh

Abstract :

Paediatric tauma present significant challenges to the anaesthesia provider for initial stablization in the emergency department, providing sedation and monitoring for imaging, emergent sugical procedures, intensive care unit management of these patients and pain control during hospitalization. This case report presents the anaesthetic care and management of a 13 year old male weighing 30kg who got stuck into a JCB machine causing a thoracoabdominal trauma and presented to us after a long 13 hours in restless but conscious condition with unstable vitals. Though, with rigorous resuscitation, proper surgical intervention, vigilant monitoring and optimum care, the child could be discharged with no residual complication.
