Assessment of risk factors for enteric fistula and intra-Abdominal sepsis in patients with open abdomen in trauma: An original research

Abstract

Introduction: In emergency surgeries, open abdomen or laparostomy, especially with perforated viscus, has been used primarily to prevent delayed ventral hernia, burst abdomen, and abdominal compartment syndrome. In the present study, the clinical and resuscitative factors that are linked with open abdomen morbidity are evaluated. Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis was done for all the subjects who were admitted at the tertiary care center between May 2020 and May 2022 for the open abdomen surgeries. These patients were examined to see whether they needed more postoperative care than usual, including the need for resuscitative treatments and other critical clinical indicators. Patients were evaluated if they had any complications. The data that were collected were analysed for any variance using analysis of variance considering P
