Description

Background: Acute pain is an important complaint reported by trauma victims, however, the relationship between
it and other types of discomfort, such as discomfort caused by cold, discomfort caused by immobilization, and
psychological distress such as fear, anxiety, and sadness is limitedly studied and documented.
Aim: To assess the relationship between acute trauma pain and other types of suffering in pre-hospital trauma
victims.
Methods: This is a prospective multicentre cohort study conducted in Immediate Life Support Ambulances in
Portugal. All adult trauma victims with a mechanism of blunt and penetrating injuries, falls, road accidents and
explosions, were included.
Results: 605 trauma victims were included, mainly male, with a mean age of 53.4 years. Before the intervention
of the rescue teams, 90.5 % of the victims reported some level of pain, 39.0 % reported discomfort caused by
cold, while 15.7 % felt fear, 8.4 % sadness, 49.8 % anxiety and 4.5 % apathy. Victims with high discomfort
caused by cold tend to have higher pain levels. Significantly higher pain intensity were observed in victims with
fear and anxiety. Univariate and multivariate analysis indicates that immobilization is associated with increased
pain levels.
Conclusions: There is a statistically significant relationship between acute trauma pain, anxiety, fear, cold and
immobilization.
