Abstract
The program has eight sections of investigation:
1. The problems of diagnostic procedures and effective treatment of liver injuries.
2. Recognition and treatment of iatrogenic injuries in laparoscopic surgery.
3. The problems of treatment of serious abdominal injuries and postoperative complications after elective abdominal procedures in ICU.
4. Study of effectivenes of treatment for acute inflamations of the biliary system.
5. Study of problems considering early treatment of acute pancreatitis in our region.
6. Epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment oh acute hepatitis B in our region.
7. Patients rehabilitation after treatment of acute abdominal pathology.
8. The role of the pain treatment in acute abdomen.
Significance for science
Research results are important for basic and applied medical science. Research field emergency medicine is very sensitive to ethical questions. The problems of informed consent are specific for the field of emergency medicine and are sometimes very difficult to overcome. Animal models can be used on some areas to avoid clinical studies. We designed a new model to cause a reproducible liver trauma. The importance lies in the possibility of further research of changes after injuries. Original method of guided liver tamponade by means of an adjusted device for measuring abdominal and inferior caval vein pressure was also introduced. On the field of intensive care medicine and abdominal sepsis clinical research will contribute to better understanding and treatment of some severe and often lethal clinical conditions, which are presently not very well understood. On the field of acute gastrointestinal bleeding the research will contribute to development of new methods on clinical and technological level. Pain is one of major concerns of modern science and medicine. Research group is developing new ways of treatment of postoperative pain. Results and methodology applied in presented research project are included in graduate and postgraduate curriculum in Medical schools of Ljubljana and Maribor Universities. Results were and will be published in internationally recognized professional and scientific publications. The importance of research results will have impact on basic and applied biomedical science.
Significance for the country
On the social dimension of abdominal emergency research we expect better treatment of patients and injured people, more effective treatment with less consequences, and more suitable rehabilitation. The research program is based on cooperation among institutions as well as interdisciplinary approach requiring suitable infrastructure and equipment to be performed. Our approach to studying hepatitis was specifically clinical as well as epidemiologic. We successfully studied the effect of new treatment methods on the course of the disease in Slovenian regions. Additionally, we designed a protocol of systematic treatment of patients suspect for hepatitis, which would be applicable for the entire Slovenia. In the field of pain management after abdominal surgery we studied the effectiveness of pain management after major abdominal surgery in the local environment (University Medical Centre Maribor) which resulted in the proposal of measures for greater organizational effectiveness. In treatment of critically ill patients after surgery in the abdominal cavity, we were successful within possibilities dictated by the number of cases. We published guidelines for treating sepsis resulting from surgery and a manual/handbook for students. School for emergency abdominal ultrasound was established. New methods for treatment of major bleeding emergencies were and will be introduced.
