The study was conducted in patients who had undergone angiography and arterial embolization after being diagnosed with arterial bleeding among those registered with severe trauma at the admission to the department of emergency due to accidents. In the study, comparison was done between the survived group and the nonsurvived group to investigate the usefulness and the optimal performance timing of angiography and embolization as the survival-affecting factors and treatment methods for patients. The study was performed as a retrospective analysis in 45 patients who had undergone angiography and arterial embolization among those categorized as severe trauma patients from the emergency department of H hospital located in Gyeonggi-do from July, 2006 until December, 2010. The Injury Severity Score (ISS), the Revised Trauma Score (RTS), the hematocrit were the main outcome measurements. Arterial embolization was technically successful in all cases, transcatheter arterial embolization of arterial bleeding is a useful procedure in lowering the mortality and complication in severe trauma patients. and RTS, ISS, Hematocrit were the predictable early mortality factors. So bad vital sign patients must be progressed rapidly.

중증외상 환자의 사망률을 높이는 출혈의 형태에는 정맥손상으로 인한 출혈과 골절 및 장기손상에 의한 동맥손상 출혈, 골수 내 출혈이 있을 수 있는데, 이중에서 동맥손상에 의한 출혈은 진단이 지연되면 다량의 출혈로 인한 생체활력 징후가 불안정하며 사망률이 높아지는 아주 중요한 질환이다. 응급실을 내원한 중증외상 환자로 등록된 환자 중 혈관조영술을 시행 받고, 동맥 파열이 진단되어 동맥색전술을 시행 받은 환자를 대상으로 생존의 영향을 미치는 인자에 대하여 알아보고자 하며 생존 군과 사망 군을 비교하여 동맥촬영 및 색전술이 적절한 치료방법으로 유용성과 적절한 시행시점을 연구하기 위함이다.

This study analyzed current prehospital emergency care for severe trauma patients administered by different number of 119 EMS (emergency medical services) teams. Out of 1,067 severe trauma patients transferred by 119 EMS teams in J province from January 1st to December 31st 2015, 438 were evaluated in this study. IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0 was used to analyze collected data. The number of patients with severe trauma during the period of study was higher in male with two and three ambulance crews of 119 EMS teams with 242 patients (70.6%) and 66 patients (69.5%) respectively. The percentage of transfers made to local emergency medical centers was highest in those two groups, being 44.0% (151 patients) and 49.5% (47 patients), respectively. Total time spent at the scene did not differ between ambulance crews of two and three, nor did the frequency of practicing advanced airway management and IV (intravenous) cannulation, or the success rate of IV cannulation (p=0.253, p=0.362, p=1.000). Overall, the results indicated that merely increasing the number of paramedics does not improve the quality of prehospital care for severe trauma patients. Measures such as securing professional paramedics, simplifying direct medical oversights, activating indirect medical oversights, and expanding the legally allowed work scope are required.

Purpose: We compared the Korean Triage and Acuity Scale (KTAS), Injury Severity Score (ISS), and Revised Trauma Score (RTS) determined the validity of KTAS for classifying trauma patients. Methods: A retrospective chart review of 10,865 trauma patients (aged ≥15 years) who visited a single regional trauma and emergency medical center from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2020, was conducted. Data were collected from the Korean Trauma Data Bank. Based on KTAS classification, the rates of intensive care unit admission, surgery and intervention, transfusion, emergency room (ER) and hospital mortality, and ER stay time were investigated. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, receiver operating characteristic curve, and area under the ROC curve. Results: In the KTAS, severe trauma patients (ISS ≥16) were classified as Level 1 (79.6%), 2 (44.8%), 3 (15.5%), 4 (4.0%) and 5 (7.6%). The following were the predictive powers of KTAS, ISS, and RTS for different parameters: surgery and intervention rate, KTAS (.71), ISS (.70), and RTS (.63); transfusion rate within 4h, KTAS (.82), ISS (.82), and RTS (.74); ER stay time within 90 min, KTAS (.72), ISS (.62), and RTS (.56); and ER mortality, KTAS (.84), ISS (.72), and RTS (.88). These findings were statistically significant (p<.001). The sensitivity and specificity of KTAS for trauma patients were .88 (.87~.90), and .38 (.37~.39), respectively. Conclusion: KTAS is a useful classification system that can predict the clinical outcomes of patients with trauma, and effectively triage acutely ill trauma patients, thus provide appropriate treatment.

This study was attempted to analyze the status of emergency room use of severe trauma patients using the health insurance system and to understand their characteristics. This study used data from the 'Community-based Severe Trauma Surveillance' investigated from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019. As a result, there were differences in the degree of disability after injury and whether treatment(surgery, trauma embolism, transfusion) was performed according to the type of medical insurance (p< .001), it was found that there was a statistically significant difference between the degree of disability before and after damage depending on the type of medical insurance (p< .001). Reviews of the health insurance system located for the well-being of the people should be continued from various angles, and specific improvement plans should be proposed.

The increase in the elderly population also increased the damage and deaths of the elderly drivers. However, studies on the severity and severity of the elderly driver are not actively conducted and the factors are unknown. In this study, I tried to find out the factors affecting the damage and severity of the elderly driver in the frontal collision and to utilize them additionally in the severity classification. Collision Deformation Classification (CDC) Code was used to check the extent of damage to the vehicle. Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) was used to determine the injury parts and severity of injury, and the Injury Severity Score (ISS) to confirm the severity of the patient. The odds ratios of severe injury patients were found to be 7.381 in the subjects with 5 or more deformation extent and the ${\beta}$ value of the deformation extent was 0.453 in the analysis of the severity by linear regression analysis. Therefore, the degree of deformation extent of 5 or more can be suggested as a criterion that can be used additionally to the severity classification in the elderly driver.

Accidents at construction sites have a very high rate of fatalities due to the nature of being prone to severe injury patients. In order to reduce the mortality rate of severely injury patients, quick response is required, and some systems that detect accidents using AI technology and cameras have been devised to respond quickly to accidents. However, since existing accident detection systems use only a single camera, there are blind spots, Thus, they cannot detect all accidents at a construction site. Therefore, in this paper, we present the system that minimizes the detection blind spot by using multiple cameras. Our implemented system extracts feature points from the images of multiple cameras with the YOLO-pose library, and inputs the extracted feature points to a Long Short Term Memory-based recurrent neural network in order to detect accidents. In our experimental result, we confirme that the proposed system shows high accuracy while minimizing detection blind spots by using multiple cameras.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for injury prevention measures through the risk factors of injury occurrence by comprehending injury characteristics of the trauma patients visiting a regional emergency medical center according to distribution based on external causes and injury severity score. This study was analyzed using SPSS-Window(ver. 20.1) for 2585 trauma patients who visited a regional emergency medical center and the research period is for four months from 1st of September, 2019 to 31th of December, 2019. The following were the results of the research. First, it is shown from the analyzed data that the proportion of males (61.3%) is greater than that of females (38.7%) and the group aged from 20 to 50 had a significantly higher occurrence rate of injury but in terms of injury severity, 50 takes up the great proportion(P<.001). Second, roads and traffic areas (35.1%) were the highest in the place of occurrence of injury(P<.001). Third, the time of injury occurrence was as high as 12-18 hours(35.8%)(P<.001). Fourth, the injury part was highest in the head and face (55.4%)(P<.001). Fifth, the type of injury was higher in open wounds (31.2%)(P<.001). Therefore, it is required to establish detailed injury prevention policies according to the characteristics of injury severity.
