Clinical significance of the level of fibrin degradation products in drowning patients without cardiac arrest
Objective: This study aimed to retrospectively investigate the clinical significance of the level of fibrin degradation products in drowning patients without cardiac arrest. Patients and Methods: All drowning patients who were transported to our department from January 2011 to December 2019 were ret...

description | Objective: This study aimed to retrospectively investigate the clinical significance of the level of fibrin degradation products in drowning patients without cardiac arrest. Patients and Methods: All drowning patients who were transported to our department from January 2011 to December 2019 were retrospectively investigated through a medical chart review and included as subjects in the present study. The exclusion criteria were the occurrence of cardiac arrest before patient arrival to our department and lack of measurement of the fibrin degradation product level on arrival. The subjects were divided into two groups: early discharge group, which included patients who were discharged within 3 days, and late discharge group, which included patients who were discharged after 3 days. Results: The early discharge group included 10 subjects and the late discharge group included 39 subjects. No significant differences were observed in age, sex, proportion of freshwater drowning cases, proportion of alcohol drinkers, vital signs, blood gas analysis findings, proportion of lung lesions, or survival rate between the two groups. The levels of glucose and fibrin degradation products on arrival were significantly greater in the early discharge group than in the late discharge group. A multivariate analysis showed that the only significant predictor of early discharge was the fibrin degradation product level among variables identified in a univariate analysis. Conclusion: This is the first study to show that the level of fibrin degradation products on arrival can predict early or late discharge in drowning patients without cardiac arrest before arriving to the hospital. |
