Mañana, Julio - Guicheff, Vladimir - Burstin, Jacobo

Resumen:

The paper presents the results of the observation of a politraumatized patient in a serious condition due to multiple bullet wounds; this gave rise to problems in diagnosis, in the intensive preoperatory freatment, in surgical tactics and in a 'long and complicated postoperatory period during which time acute kidney insufficiency and respiratory insufficiency were. the cause of serious problems, fortunately satisfactorily solved. We believe this patient was saved thanks to the fact that the University Hospital is equipped with adequate means for dealing with this type of patient and has sufficient technical personnel.


Se presenta una observación de un politraumatizado grave por heridas de balas múltiples, que motivó problemas diagnósticos, de tratamiento intensivo preoperatorio, de tácticas quirúrgicas y de un prolongado y complicado postoperatorio donde la insuficiencia renal aguda y la insuficiencia respiratoria fueron problemas de entidad felizmente solucionados.Creemos que este paciente se salvó gracias a disponer el Hospital de Clínicas de los medios adecuados para tratar este tipo de enfermos y contar con el personal técnico suficiente.
