Fulltext PDFIntroduction: Chest injuries are the main cause of death in young adults and comprise 25% of all trauma-related deaths. The role of various biomarkers like Clara cell protein 16, von Willebrand factor and interleukin-6 has been previously studied in trauma-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) while as Serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) levels have been evaluated in non-trauma-related ARDS cases. Not much data is available on correlation of ACE and thoracic trauma as no research has been done previously on this. Aim and objective: Assess role of ACE with trauma severity and outcome.
Material and method:48 patients were selected for study and ACE levels, its correlation with TTSS, type of injury and outcome were evaluated.
Result and Discussion: Student t test was performed for statistical analysis. Levels of ACE were consistently raised with the severity of lung injury measured by TTSS. Conclusion: Serum ACE levels are increased in thoracic trauma cases, which indicate the severe nature of trauma in congruence with increased TTSS scores.
