CLINICAL ASPECTS OF DISASTER MEDICINE

7. Fedotov S.A., Dmitriev A.V., Tetyushkin M.A. Influence on Psychological Health of Indirect Involvement in Emergency Situations

A screening assessment of psychological status of people indirectly involved in emergency situations was carried out. It was found that 41% of those examined had clinically significant psychic tension and depression while 27% of them subclinical ones. The results evidence the presence of substantial psychoemotional stress in those indirectly involved in emergency situations and point to the necessity of the further studies of psychic disorders caused by indirect involvement in emergency situations and of elaboration of a program of timely detection, treatment and prophylactics of the pathology.

Key words: emergency situations, indirect involvement, population, psychological health

8. Yandiev S.I. Closed Intramedullary Osteosynthesis for Femoral Shaft Fractures in Children with Polytrauma

The surgical results are analyzed of 474 children with multiple and multisystem injuries from 552 children with femoral shaft fractures treated in the clinic in 1999–2010. In the majority of cases (250 сhildren, 257 operative measures) closed intramedullary fracture fixations were performed.

Methods/technologies of closed intramedullary osteosynthesis are presented.

The conclusion is drawn that one or another method/technology of closed intramedullary osteosynthesis for femoral shaft fractures is optimal in children with polytrauma depending on their age and the fracture type.

It is noted as well that closed intramedullary osteosynthesis for femoral shaft fractures in children with polytrauma ensures optimal conditions for further examinations and surgery that may prove necessary.

Key words: children with polytrauma, closed intramedullary osteosynthesis, femur, shaft fractures

9. Sinopalnikov I.V. First Medical Aid in Local War and Armed Conflicts

The specific features are shown of organization of rendering of first medical aid during the war in Afghanistan and counterterrorist operations in the Northern Caucasus.

The results of a study of the influence of lipid peroxidation processes and of endotoxemia on erythrocyte membrane stability in case of chemical trauma are presented. The study was based on materials of management of 115 patients with diagnosed poisoning by psychotropic preparations. The results received indicate imbalance in oxidative homeostasis, endotoxemia and erythrocyte membrane instability that directly correlate with the severity of patient’s status. Endogenous ammonia and medium molecular peptides observed at 254 nm are among the most sensitive endotoxemia markers. The speed of membrane destruction when exposed to pulse electric field directly correlated with endotoxin and malondialdehyde concentration in blood serum.
