Abstract:
Severe trauma has high morbidity and mortality rates, being the leading cause of death in young adults. Among all traumas, traffic injuries are particularly lethal.[1-2] The injury severity score (ISS) can be used to assess trauma severity, with ISS of <9, 9-15, 16-24, and ≥25 indicating minor, moderate, severe, and critical trauma, respectively. The ISS is correlated with mortality, morbidity, and hospitalization duration after injury.[3-4] Here, we report one patient who was admitted to our emergency intensive care unit (EICU) due to traumatic liver rupture and traumatic myocardial infarction complicated with inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis.
