Abstract:

 


	Objectives: In this study, we present management of 
emergency department, patients’ clinical findings and mortality analysis
 after a bomb explosion.

	Methods: Patients brought to Diyarbakır Dicle 
University Hospital emergency department after the explosion at 5 June 
2015 were retrospectively examined. Patients’ age, gender, triage, 
system injuries, hypotension, blood transfusion, admission to the ICU, 
Intensive care unit surgical treatment, amputation and trauma scores 
(Glasgow Coma Score (GCS), Revised Trauma Score (RTS), Injury Severity 
Score (ISS), Trauma Score-Injury Severity Score (TRISS), Shock index) 
were studied. Factors affecting emergency department management and 
mortality were analyzed.

	Results: The mean age was found as 29.64±12.88 years 
in survivors and 36±19.98 years in deaths. GCS, ISS and shock index were
 found as the factors affecting mortality (p≤0.05). Wounded taken to the
 resuscitation room, hypotension, blood transfusion, intubation, 
treatment in ICU and amputation were correlated with mortality 
(p<0.05).

	Conclusion: A fast and effective triage system must be
 applied in EDs following a bomb explosion. The explosion of a bomb on 
the open areas are the most common injury to the lower extremity injury.
 Mortality is most often associated with lower limb amputations.
