Abstract
- PURPOSE
To study tissue adhesive effectiveness in with laceration at various body sites.
METHODS
From January 2007 to December 2009, we collected the data of laceration patients treated using tissue adhesive in the emergency department of a university hospital. Data concerning treatment satisfaction were collected twice and analyzed.
RESULTS
Of the 8665 patients with laceration, 196 (mean age 23 years, 106 males) were treated using tissue adhesive. Many of the 196 patients were <15-years-of-age. Involved body sites mainly comprised head/neck, followed by the upper extremities. The procedure was the most rapid of all treatments.
CONCLUSION
Emergency physicians can reliably use tissue adhesive treatment for various lacerations in the emergency setting.
