Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Fat embolism syndrome is a commonly seen severe complication in the field of opthopaedics in clinic. It frequently occurs after long bone fracture and hip-knee joint replacement. However, its etiological factors and pathogenesis are not identified.OBJECTIVE: To sum up the onset influencing factors, pathogenesis and therapeutic methods of long bone fracture and hip-knee joint replacement accompanied with fat embolism syndrome.RETRIEVE STRATEGY: Using the terms "fat embolism syndrome, pathogenesis, treatment, prevention, diagnosis", we retrieved PubMed database to identify studies published in the English language. Fifty-five literatures were searched.Meanwhile, we searched the medical information network of Shanghai Jiao Tong University with the same terms in the Chinese language. Inclusive criteria: studies, which can reflect the diagnosis and treatment as well as pathogenesis of fat embolism syndrome. Exclusive criteria: repetitive studies.LITERATURE EVALUATION: The involved 38 literatures are all about the diagnosis and treatment as well as pathogenesis of fat embolism syndrome, among which, 6 were review and the others were clinical or basic studies.DATA SYNTHESIS: ① The influencing factors of fat embolism syndrome included trauma factor, operation factor and other factors. ② The pathogenesis of fat embolism syndrome involved mechanical obstruction theory, biochemical theory,condensation theory and inflammatory reaction theory. ③ The treatments of fat embolism syndrome include respiration supporting, glucocorticoid application, protecting brain function, drug treatment, heat shock treatment and so on.CONCLUSION: Study on bone fracture and joint replacement accompanied with fat embolism syndrome can provide evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of this syndrome.
