[Retrospective analysis of 1354 autopsies in cases of death caused by trauma].
1,354 deaths due to traumatic causes arising in 1976-1985 among patients admitted to the Molinette Hospital, Turin were analysed. The causes were divided into 5 major groups with to monitoring the course of the pathologies concerned over time. The results confirm an increase in deaths from septic shock that reflects increased recourse to surgery and the application of resuscitation manoeuvres and equipment, but a decrease in death due to haemorrhagic shock. These two pathologies represent the major lines for future research aimed at improving the prognosis in traumatic lesions.
