Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS: Of 1166 cases, 72.3% were found with shock. The operation rates of thoracic and abdominal injuries were 14.8% (119/804) and 83.5% (710/850) respectively (X(2) equal to 780.683, P less than 0.01). The operation rates of blunt and penetrating thoracic injuries was 6.8% (42/617) and 40.6% (76/187) respectively (X(2) equal to 131.701, P less than 0.01). The operation rates of blunt and penetrating abdominal injuries were 77.1% (434/563) and 96.1% (276/287) respectively (X(2) equal to 50.302, P less than 0.01). The operation rates of blunt thoracio- abdominal injuries were 6.8% (42/617) in thoracic region and 77.1% (434/563) in abdomen respectively (X(2) equal to 544.043, P less than 0.01). Among the cases of abdominal injuries, 41 received arteriography embolism, with the efficacy of 95.1% (39/41). Total mortality rate was 6.1%. The mortality rates of blunt and penetrating injuries were 7.3% (62/854) and 2.9% (9/312) (X(2) equal to 6.51, P less than 0.005). The deaths were mainly due to large volume of blood loss.
