[Early detection of venous thromboses of the lower limb in traumatology by labelled fibrinogen].

In emergency traumatology, the iodine 125 labelled fibrinogen test is useful in the early detection of phlebitis in patients in whom the routine use of heparin is not possible--fractures of the cervical spine, severe cranial trauma, elderly subjects. It makes possible the institution of appropriate heparin therapy, without waiting for clinical signs to become evident. We noted that isotopic venous thromboses occured very frequently and very early, and that clinical signs, when present (50 p. cent of cases) occurrer 24 to 48 hours after the appearance of isotopic signs.

[Abdominal emergencies in the daily practice of a traumatology center].

This study analyses 57 cases of abdominal trauma occurring in patients with multiple injuries admitted to the accident unit in Garches, over a period of four years. After a few remarks concerning the use of a safety belt, the authors discuss in particular: -- 25 hepatic lesions; -- 20 splenic lesions. These lesions were operated on by the surgeons on the unit with the exception of 9 cases where a specialised surgeon was called in. In the vast majority of cases, we consider the patient should not be transferred to the other units but, if possible, all lesions should be treated simultaneously in one centre.

Incidence and causes of carbon monoxide intoxication: results of an epidemiologic survey in a French department.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the incidence, mortality, and causes of carbon monoxide intoxications in France. A survey was conducted in the department of the Hauts-de-Seine, which is representative of the French population. Data were collected through a headquarters that had direct contact with all department emergency organizations and to a technical laboratory. During the 3-y study, 735 cases that were related to 291 events were reported. Thirty-six patients died. The average incidence of carbon monoxide intoxications was 17.5 per 100,000 inhabitants. Poisoning was caused by fires in 36 events and by car exhausts in 12. For the remaining events, causes were determined as follows for 196: water heaters (57%), boiler (20.5%), coal stove (9%), brazier (4%), cooker (2%), heating device (1.5%), and miscellaneous (6%). The main mechanisms of intoxication were a defective device, poor ventilation, or poor evacuation of combustion gases. Carbon monoxide intoxication occurs frequently in France, and preventive actions are warranted.

[General anesthesia in patients with sickle cell disease (author's transl)].

From pathogenic datas about sickle cell disease, the authors enumerate precautions that should be taken during pre, per- and post-operative periods. These conclusions have been established according to previous publications and according to a personnel serie of 31 general anaesthesias, 11 of which on patients with sickle cell disease.

[Accidental peroperative hypothermia during rapid transfusion].

Six cases of grave hypothermias are reported, having arisen during surgical interventions which necessitated a rapid and abundant transfusion of badly warmed blood. The role of favouring factors, surrounding cold due to the air-conditioning, anaesthesia, extent of the area of operation, seems important. The symptomatology permits the individualization of a hypothermic syndrom neighbouring the picture described in toxic accidental hypothermias. Accidents during the warming process associate collapse and disturbances in coagulation. It is therefore necessary to consider certain signs of alarm as important and generalize the conditions for prevention of thermolysis in the operating theatre.
