Spontaneous ilio-psoas hematomas complicating intensive care unit hospitalizations.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ilio-psoas hematoma is a potentially lethal condition that can arise during hospital stay. However, neither the incidence nor the prognosis of patients whose stay in intensive care units (ICU) is complicated by a iatrogenic ilio-psoas hematoma is known.

Methods

A bicentric retrospective study was conducted to compile the patients who developed an ilio-psoas hematoma while they were hospitalized in ICU between January 2009 and December 2016. Their biometric characteristics, pre-existing conditions, the circumstances in which the hematoma was diagnosed, the treatments they received and their prognosis were recorded.

Results

Forty patients were diagnosed with an ilio-psoas hematoma during their ICU stay. The incidence of this complication was 3.8 cases for 100
