[A case of severe multiple trauma (author's transl)]. 1979

G Tempel, and S Jelen, and E M Hauck, and B von Hundelshausen, and U Gulotta

A case of severe multiple trauma sustained in a road accident is reported. The aim of the report is to show the determing role played by diagnostic and surgical methods and therapeutic possibilities available in the intensive care unit (shock treatment, controlled respiration, parenteral feeding, haemodialysis) in winning the five-months' battle for the life of the patient. Early haemodyalisis as supporting therapy in respiratory failure and conservation treatment of intestinal fistulae are important. Post-traumatic pancreatitis which is a not infrequent complicating feature of severe multiple trauma may present diagnostic difficulties.
