Full textAn acute traumatic coagulopathy is observed in about one-third of severely traumatized patients. This early, endogenous and specific disorder occurs when tissue damages are combined with hemorrhage. The early phase of this condition is characterized by the expression of a bleeding phenotype and a lengthening in prothrombin time.The late phase is characterized by a pro-thrombotic profile leading to multiple organ failure. The physiopathology of this phenomenon is still poorly understood. This could involve a dysregulation of the protein C pathway, fibrinolytic DIC, a decrease in fibrinogen, impairment in platelet function and endothelial damages. Various authors have emphasized the lack of relevant animal model to study this phenomenon.The objective of this work was to develop an animal model of acute traumatic coagulopathy to study its pathophysiology. A first study was performed and led to the development of a murine model of traumatic coagulopathy. This study revealed a hemostasis disorder that meets all the criteria of acute traumatic coagulopathy. Then, a second study based on this model was performed to observe general hemostasis disorders occurring in the context of traumaassociated hemorrhage. This study confirmed the protective role of fibrinogen against ATC. The clinicalbiological profile observed in the case of ATC combining normal thrombin generation, subtle thrombocytopenia and hemorrhagic phenotype observed in the case of ATC invalidated the hypothesis of DIC but was compatible with fibrinolysis mediated by an increase in activated protein C

Full text--- The present investigation work was outlined taking into account that has limited information regarding the alterations acid bases on patients entered in units of trauma shock that are patient with high risk of mortality due to life threatening condition of its health that takes it to uncertainty of diverse systems like the cardiovascular, breathing, nervous among others. Limited information exists regarding that alterations acid base and in that alteration level can bear to more mortality in these patients; it is for it that thinks about the present work having as problem the following one. Conclusions: 54.4% of patients was of masculine sex and the remaining 45.6% they were of female sex. The ages were very dispersed having patients between the 15 and 94 years of age, being the average of 64 year-old age and most patient bigger than 50 years what you associates to mortality with a relative risk of death of 4.5 with regard to those smaller than 50 years. The gasometry alteration but it frequents was mixed went corresponding to the metabolic acidosis with breathing acidosis in 25.6% of the total of patient. The presence of an altered ph was seen in 72.5% of the total of cases being only 27.5% gasometrys with normal ph; the acidosis of diverse types you presents in 75% of altered gasometrys (excluding those of normal ph) like dysfunction but it frequents in front of the alcalosis that you presents in 25% of altered gasometrys. the metabolic acidosis with breathing acidosis was the dysfunction metabolic acid it bases but it frequents presented in the patients died (38% of deceaseds). bigger risk of death.

Full textTrauma is the leading cause of death in Sweden for people between the age of 15 and 44 years and a large proportion of people die because of bleeding that occurs at the time of the injury. Bleeding also continues to be the leading cause of trauma-related death that could have been preventable both in a civilian and military setting. Trauma care is complex, often time-critical, and the ambulance nurses are often the first to care for these patients on the scene and therefore the first assessment and care of these patients is of great importance. Fluid resuscitation for critically injured trauma patients in hemorrhagic shock or threatening hemorrhagic shock is a debated topic and Sweden lacks national guidelines for trauma care and treatment prehospital. The regional guidelines sometimes for some manner differ between the counties in Sweden. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of fluid resuscitation for patients with hemorrhagic shock after trauma. As a method, a literature review was carried out, which included a total of 15 studies published between 2009 and 2019. The result revealed two main themes - the impact of fluid resuscitation on mortality and the impact of fluid resuscitation on coagulation. All four studies that examined how coagulation ability is affected by crystalloid hypertonic and/or isotonic fluid resuscitation in patients at risk of hemorrhagic shock after trauma, the severity seems to be dependent on the amount of fluid infused, the more fluid the more severe coagulation abnormalities. The result showed unclear evidence of the effect of fluid resuscitation in mortality for trauma patients in hemorrhagic shock. However, none of the studies showed it decreased in mortality. In conclusion, the majority of articles show that large amount of fluid given in prehospital care have no impact or did have a negative impact on survival of critically injured trauma patients in hemorrhagic shock. Many factors come into play and it is difficult to draw any conclusions based on the results and more research are needed.

Es un estudio retrospectivo, descriptivo, transversal y observacional. Se obtuvieron 972 fichas de pacientes que llegaron a la Unidad de Shock Trauma del Hospital Nacional Ramiro Prialé Prialé, de Huancayo. De las cuales se descartaron 41 fichas de pacientes que realmente no fueron Patologías Prioridad I, por lo que se analizaron 931 fichas para el presente estudio. Normalmente se atienden en promedio 05 pacientes por día en la Unidad de Shock Trauma, siendo el 2.4% de todas las atenciones en el Servicio de Emergencia. La edad predominante fue de 55 a 75 años, seguidas de pacientes mayores de 75 años. Existe un leve predominio del sexo masculino sobre el femenino. Las tres patologías más frecuentes son, en orden de frecuencia, la Insuficiencia Respiratoria Aguda (NAC y patología crónica pulmonar reagudizada), el Trastorno del Sensorio (DCV Isquémico y encefalopatía metabólica alcohólica) y el Shock (séptico e hipovolémico). Los pacientes atendidos fueron mayormente de zonas locales, es decir, de la misma ciudad de Huancayo y zonas aledañas cercanas. La mayoría de pacientes fueron traídas al Hospital por sus familiares. Todos los días llegan pacientes a la Unidad de Shock Trauma, con un leve incremento en los fines de semana. Llegan más pacientes críticos durante el día que durante la noche. Los pacientes llegan mayormente llegan con un tiempo de enfermedad de 12 o más horas. La mayor parte de los pacientes pasan de la Unidad de Shock Trauma a la Sala de Observación de la misma Emergencia.

Full textThis study is about the forgetting of the past by African refugees. The interviews were collected at Casa do Migrante hostel that offers shelter for migrants, immigrants and newcomers refugees in São Paulo. Two Africans were interviewed: an Angolan and a Congolese. Our aim of studying the forgetting emerged from the individual and shared interviews with these refugees, because they did not want to remember the scenes of war in Africa. We understand the forgetting, considering the freudian hypothesis that the refugees want to forget the past, as they compulsively repeat the trauma, when they try to dominate the excessive coup and considering the benjaminian hypothesis that the difficulty of Africans to communicate the war experience is due to the decline of narrative and the shock experience after the development of productive forces. Nevertheless, we try to investigate whether it is possible to work through the past. We understand the waves of refugees around the world as a result of the crisis of global capitalism, as Robert Kurz showed us. It is not about people obliged to leave home since the ancient religious history of mankind, or about victims of persecution or victims of human rights violation, as conceived by the Cáritas Arquidiocesana de São Paulo in the attendance of refugees. We analyze the interviews according to three categories of analysis the flight from war, education and work. So, we thought about the forgetting of African refugees, starting from a religious content to achieve some psychological considerations. But what does it remain for psychoanalysts in the presence of African refugees? We conclude the study, investigating the more suitable psychoanalytic methodology for the research with Africans war survivors. And we decide to collect their traumatic dreams, according to our hypothesis that they might dream at night with what they want to forget at day light

El estudio es observacional, descriptivo, retrospectivo de corte transversal. Se estudiaron a 35 pacientes con infarto agudo de miocardio ST elevado trombolizados en la unidad de shock trauma del Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia durante 2012-2013. Para describir las variables cualitativas se usaron frecuencias absolutas y relativas, mientras que para las cuantitativas se emplearon medidas de tendencia central y dispersión. La frecuencia de pacientes con infarto agudo de miocardio ST elevado trombolizados durante el periodo 2012-2013 fue de 35 pacientes, los cuales tuvieron una edad promedio de 60,2 14,2 años, siendo más frecuente el género masculino (85,7%), estado civil casado (42,9%) y el grado de instrucción primaria (45,7%). Las características clínicas mostraron que la duración promedio del dolor antes del ingreso fue de 2,8±1,8 horas, localizado a nivel retroesternal (91,4%), con características de dolor “típico” (85,7%); además se observó que el 57,1% de los pacientes tuvieron clasificación clínica Killip I (57,1%). Entre las principales características epidemiológicas se observó HTA (42,9%), dislipidemia (42,9%), obesidad (40%) y diabetes mellitus (31,4%). Los resultados bioquímicos más importantes evidenciaron valores de glicemia >180 mg/dl (80%), valores de troponina T > 0,014 ng/ml (88.6%) en el primer control y valores de Troponina T por encima del percentil 99 del límite de referencia superior (100%) en el segundo control, triglicéridos >150 mg/dl (74,3%), LDL ≥100 mg/dl (54,3%), HDL < 60 mg/dl (85,7%) y colesterol total >200 mg/dl (48,6%); asimismo, los resultados del electrocardiograma identificaron a 34 pacientes con supradesnivel del segmento ST y solo uno tuvo infradesnivel del segmento ST en derivadas precordiales V1-V3 (IAM posterior aislado), el cual es un equivalente de ST elevado. Los medicamentos utilizados en todos los pacientes fueron alteplasa, aspirina, clopidogrel, estatinas y enoxaparina; también se emplearon otros medicamentos como morfina, IECAs, isorbide, nitroglicerina y B-bloqueadores. El promedio del tiempo isquémico total fue de 3,4 1,8 horas. La ubicación anatómica del IAM predominante fue inferior (62.9%), a la cual le siguieron el anterior extenso (17.1%) y ventrículo derecho (17.1%). Los principales trastornos hemodinámicos fueron la insuficiencia cardiaca, shock cardiogénico y las arritmias ventriculares. El tiempo puerta-aguja en la mayor parte de pacientes fue ≤ 30 minutos (54.3%). La trombólisis fue exitosa en el 31.4% de pacientes. Y de los 35 pacientes estudiados fallecieron 5 (14,3%). Se concluye que las características clínico-epidemiológicas de pacientes con IAM ST elevado trombolizados, evidenciaron que la localización del dolor principalmente fue a nivel restroesternal con duración promedio de 2,8 horas; siendo catalogados en su mayoría según clasificación clínica como Killip I; las comorbilidades y antecedentes patológicos más frecuentes en estos pacientes fueron hipertensión arterial, dislipidemia y obesidad.

Full textTrauma is an important public health problem, with high socioeconomic impact and major adverse clinical outcomes. The epidemiological profile and predictors of death in trauma patients have not been addressed in an integrated and prospective way. Therefore, the present study was designed to identify independent predictors of mortality in trauma patients and their populational mapping to improve the care of severe polytrauma patients. After approval by the ethics in institutional research committee, the present longitudinal, prospective and observational study was conducted between 2010 and 2013 in the metropolitan area of São Paulo/Brazil with victims of severe polytrauma (Injury Severity Score >15). The collection of clinical and laboratory data was performed at 4 different time points: 1, pre-hospital; 2, in the emergency room; 3, at 3 hours after admission; and 4, at 24 hours after admission. The primary outcome was mortality within 30 days. The data were analyzed with Student\'s t-test or the Mann-Whitney test, nonparametric ANOVA and Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) for repeated measures (p < 0.05). The total study population consisted of 334 patients. In total, 124 patients were excluded for not fitting the protocol, and 200 individuals were included in the final analysis. The independent predictors of mortality were as follows: arterial hemoglobin oxygen saturation (OR=0.989, 95% CI 0.982-0.995, p < 0.001); diastolic blood pressure (OR=0.998, 95% CI 0.995-0.998, p < 0.001); serum lactate level (OR=1.046, 95% CI 1.012- 1.082, p < 0.004); score on the Glasgow coma scale (OR=0.973, 95% CI 0.965-0.982, p < 0.001); and the amount of infused crystalloid (OR=1.013, 95% CI 1.000-1.025, p < 0.023 - each 1000 ml). Through the analyses performed in this study, it was concluded that the independent predictors of mortality at any given time were as follows: hypoxemia; diastolic arterial hypotension; hyperlactatemia; a low score on the Glasgow coma scale; and volume of infused crystalloid

What are the motivations for a conscious or unconscious commitment to the Army at the end of the adolescens ? Does commitment to the military give a « voice » to the re-development of a former traumatic experience ?

Full textAbstract : Trauma teams often make use of both medical and surgical interventions in the early management of traumatic shock. Vasopressors have an important clinical potential, namely because they allow fluid restriction and narrow hemodynamic support. However, they also have the potential for significant harm. The role of vasopressors in this early phase of care is controversial. Although North American guidelines consider that vasopressors are contraindicated in this clinical setting, some European experts encourage their use in the hopes of reducing intravenous fluid administration and its inherent risks. Before designing an adequate clinical trial on vasopressor use, a number of vital questions must be answered. First, current accepted practice must be described in order to determine how it will compare with an eventual experimental intervention. Second, relevant knowledge gaps in the scientific literature must be identified in order to establish equipoise and refine the research question. Chapter 2 of this document presents an observational study conducted in a regional trauma centre in the province of Québec. This retrospective study documents current practice patterns adopted by trauma teams over the course of 2013, with particular emphasis on vasopressor and intravenous fluid use. Over this timeframe, more than 40 % of patients received vasopressors, most often in the presence of traumatic brain injury (OR 10.2, 95% CI 2.7-38.5). Moreover, these vasopressors were often administered in the very early phases of trauma care, before any significant intravenous fluid loading. Chapter 3 consists of a systematic review on the early use of vasopressors in the management of traumatic shock. MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched, as well as conference proceedings from major trauma meetings since 2005. Independent reviewers completed study selection and data extraction in duplicate. Observational studies yielded no interpretable data, and the only clinical trial addressing the research question had insufficient power to inform clinical practice (RR of death with vasopressor use 1.24, 95% CI 0.64-2.43). This knowledge synthesis highlights the uncertainty surrounding the role of vasopressors in trauma. Trauma teams routinely make use of vasopressors despite the absence of data on their risks and benefits. These findings clearly establish both the clinical impetus and ethical justification for a clinical trial focusing on the early use of vasopressors in the management of traumatic shock.

Full textTrauma is the leading cause of mortality in industrialized countries for people aged below 40 years. Fifty percent of the pre hospital and in hospital mortality from severe blunt and penetrating abdominal traumas is due to an hemorrhagic shock. Peritoneal bloody effusion is the main reason to under estimate the seriousness of trauma.Damage control resuscitation (DCR) and damage control surgery (DCS) typify the current paradigm of hemorrhagic torso trauma management. Damage control includes a basic pre operative management before a short surgical control of bleeding followed by intensive resuscitation care based on massive blood transfusion, palliation of hypothermia and correction of biological coagulation disorders. According to this strategy, the curative surgical treatment is postponed until the patient has been stabilized.Some authors have reported on the efficacy of resuscitation thoracotomy with aortic crossclamping in the emergency room in patients with severe abdominal trauma . However, the end results of such a procedure are contrasted and its use is still debated. More recently, endovascular approach has emerged in the management algorithm of some vascular emergencies. We hypothesized that an endovascular retrograde occlusion of the thoracic aorta would be a safe and efficient to preserve hemodynamic profile in cardiac and cerebral area, and to improve survival in case of uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock caused by an abdominal trauma.Our results sustain this hypothesis, even if its benefits seem time-limited, according to the medullar and visceral side-effects of ischemia/reperfusion

Full textPulmonary contusion is often associated with hemorrhagic shock, constituting a challenge in trauma care. For patients who have sustained lung contusions, fluid resuscitation should be carefully performed, because injured lungs are particularly vulnerable to massive fluid infusions with an increased risk of pulmonary edema and compliance impairment. Fluid administration should be included in an optimized and goal directed resuscitation, based on blood pressure objectives and hemodynamical monitoring. The use of fluids with high volume-expanding capacities (hypertonic saline, colloids) is probably interesting, as well as early introduction of vasopressors. Hemodynamic monitoring will allow to conduct resuscitation on blood pressure objectives, on preload parameters and on extravascular lung water measurement.Our work, based on experimental and clinical studies, objective to characterize the current modalities of ventilatory and hemodynamical aspect of pulmonary contusion care

Full textThe first chapter deals with the so-called "liquidity trap" - an issue which was raised originally by Keynes in the aftermath of the Great Depression. Since the nominal interest rate cannot fall below zero, this limits the scope for expansionary monetary policy when the interest rate is near its lower bound. The chapter studies the conduct of monetary policy in such an environment in isolation from other possible stabilization tools (such as fiscal or exchange rate policy). In particular, a standard New Keynesian model economy with Calvo staggered price setting is simulated under various alternative monetary policy regimes, including optimal policy. The challenge lies in solving the (otherwise linear) stochastic sticky price model with an explicit occasionally binding non-negativity constraint on the nominal interest rate. This is achieved by parametrizing expectations and applying a global solution method known as "collocation". The results indicate that the dynamics and sometimes the unconditional means of the nominal rate, inflation and the output gap are strongly affected by uncertainty in the presence of the zero lower bound. Commitment to the optimal rule reduces unconditional welfare losses to around one-tenth of those achievable under discretionary policy, while constant price level targeting delivers losses which are only 60% larger than under the optimal rule. On the other hand, conditional on a strong deflationary shock, simple instrument rules perform substantially worse than the optimal policy even if the unconditional welfare loss from following such rules is not much affected by the zero lower bound per se.
The second thesis chapter (co-authored with Andrea Pescatori) studies the implications of imperfect competition in the oil market, and in particular the existence of a welfare-relevant trade-off between inflation and output gap volatility. In the standard New Keynesian model exogenous oil shocks do not generate any such tradeoff: under a strict inflation targeting policy, the output decline is exactly equal to the efficient output contraction in response to the shock. I propose an extension of the standard model in which the existence of a dominant oil supplier (such as OPEC) leads to inefficient fluctuations in the oil price markup, reflecting a dynamic distortion of the economy's production process. As a result, in the face of oil sector shocks, stabilizing inflation does not automatically stabilize the distance of output from first-best, and monetary policymakers face a tradeoff between the two goals. The model is also a step away from discussing the effects of exogenous oil price changes and towards analyzing the implications of the underlying shocks that cause the oil price to change in the first place. This is an advantage over the existing literature, which treats the macroeconomic effects and policy implications of oil price movements as if they were independent of the underlying source of disturbance. In contrast, the analysis in this chapter shows that conditional on the source of the shock, a central bank confronted with the same oil price change may find it desirable to either raise or lower the interest rate in order to improve welfare.
The third thesis chapter (co-authored with Andrea Pescatori) studies the extent to which the rise in US macroeconomic stability since the mid-1980s can be accounted for by changes in oil shocks and the oil share in GDP. This is done by estimating with Bayesian methods the model developed in the second chapter over two samples - before and after 1984 - and conducting counterfactual simulations. In doing so we nest two other popular explanations for the so-called "Great Moderation": (1) smaller (non-oil) shocks; and (2) better monetary policy. We find that the reduced oil share can account for around one third of the inflation moderation, and about 13% of the GDP growth moderation. At the same time smaller oil shocks can explain approximately 7% of GDP growth moderation and 11% of the inflation moderation. Thus, the oil share and oil shocks have played a non-trivial role in the moderation, especially of inflation, even if the bulk of the volatility reduction of output growth and inflation is attributed to smaller non-oil shocks and better monetary policy, respectively.
La tesis estudia tres problemas distintos de macroeconomía monetaria utilizando como marco común el equilibrio general dinámico bajo expectativas racionales y con rigidez nominal de los precios.
El primer capítulo trata el problema de la "trampa de liquidez" - un tema planteado primero por Keynes después de la Gran Depresión de 1929. El hecho de que el tipo de interés nominal no pueda ser negativo limita la posibilidad de llevar una política monetaria expansiva cuando el tipo de interés se acerca a cero. El capítulo estudia la conducta de la política monetaria en este entorno en aislamiento de otros posibles instrumentos de estabilización (como la política fiscal o la política de tipo de cambio). En concreto, se simula un modelo estándar Neo-Keynesiano con rigidez de precios a la Calvo bajo diferentes regimenes de política monetaria, incluida la política monetaria óptima. El reto consiste en resolver el modelo estocástico bajo la restricción explícita ocasionalmente vinculante de no negatividad de los tipos de interés. La solución supone parametrizar las expectativas y utilizar el método de solución global conocido como "colocación". Los resultados indican que la dinámica y en ocasiones los valores medios del tipo de interés, la inflación y el output gap están muy influidos por la presencia de la restricción de no negatividad. El compromiso con la regla monetaria óptima reduce las pérdidas de bienestar esperadas hasta una décima parte de las pérdidas obtenidas bajo la mejor política discrecional, mientras una política de meta constante del nivel de precios resulta en pérdidas que son sólo 60% mayores de las obtenidas bajo la regla óptima. Por otro lado, condicionado a a un choque fuerte deflacionario, las reglas instrumentarias simples funcionan mucho peor que la política óptima, aun si las pérdidas no condicionales de bienestar asociadas a dichas reglas no están muy afectadas por la presencia de la restricción de no negatividad en si.
El segundo capítulo de la tesis estudia las implicaciones de la competencia imperfecta en el mercado del petróleo, y en concreto la existencia de un conflicto relevante entre la volatilidad de la inflación y la del output gap de un país importador de petróleo. En el modelo estándar Neo Keynesiano, los choques petroleros exógenos no generan ningún conflicto de objetivos: bajo una política de metas de inflación estricta, la caída del output es exactamente igual a la contracción eficiente del output en respuesta al choque. Este capitulo propone una extensión del modelo básico en la cual la presencia de un proveedor de petróleo dominante (OPEP) lleva a fluctuaciones ineficientes en el margen del precio del petróleo que reflejan una distorsión dinámica en el proceso de producción de la economía. Como consecuencia, ante choques provinientes del sector de petróleo, una política de estabilidad de los precios no conlleva automáticamente a una estabilización de la distancia del output de su nivel eficiente y existe un conflicto entre los dos objetivos. El modelo se aleja de la discución los efectos de cambios exógenos en el precio del petróleo y se acerca al análisis de las implicaciones de los factores fundamentales que provocan los cambios en el precio del petróleo en primer lugar. Esto último representa una ventaja clara frente a la literatura existente, la cual trata tanto los efectos macroeconómicos como las implicaciones para la política monetaria de cambios en el precio del petróleo como si éstos fueran independientes de los factores fundamentales provocando dicho cambio. A diferencia de esta literatura, el análisis del capitulo II demuestra cómo frente al mismo cambio en el precio del petróleo, un banco central puede encontrar deseable bien subir o bajar el tipo de interés en función del origen del choque.
El tercer capitulo estudia el grado en que el ascenso de la estabilidad macroeconómica en EE.UU. a partir de mediados de los 80 se puede atribuir a cambios en la naturaleza de los choques petroleros y/o el peso del petróleo en el PIB. Con este propósito se estima el modelo desarrollado en el capitulo II con métodos Bayesianos utilizando datos macroeconómicos de dos periodos - antes y después de 1984 - y se conducen simulaciones contrafactuales. Las simulaciones permiten dos explicaciones alternativas de la "Gran Moderación": (1) menores choques no petroleros; y (2) mejor política monetaria. Los resultados apuntan a que el petróleo ha jugado un papel no-trivial en la moderación. En particular, el menor peso del petroleo en el PIB a partir de 1984 ha contribuido a una tercera parte de la moderación de la inflación y un 13% de la moderación del output. Al mismo tiempo, un 7% de la moderación del PIB y 11% de la moderación de la inflación se pueden atribuir a menores choques petroleros.

Full textThe psychological impact of the events, which are the source of responsibility, be they acts of terrorism, loss of a loved one, psychological harassment, is specific to characteristics both protean and invisible. The first among them is due to the fact that in psychological matter injuries and the resulting suffering are both varied. As such, from the injury point of view, certain events will prove to be more traumatizing than others. Principally those during which the subject has been faced with his own death. Concerning suffering, a subject can as well emotionally suffer a change in his own integrity – for example the physical one with a diagnosis of a serious illness – that of a sort damage which affects that of a loved one (e.g. death or handicap). Then, the impact is considered invisible. It appears much more simple indeed, to identify harm to physical integrity as a harm to psychic integrity. More so, certain psychological harms are totally imperceptible by reason of their eminently diffuse characteristic. The object of this demonstration is therefore to know how civil liability law will comprehend the victim of such a psychological impact. Its comprehension will be particular given the inevitable interaction between the judicial and psychological spheres.In order to better understand this, we will first propose a conceptualization of the psychological victim that blends into psychopathological reality. Two major distinctions feed this thought. One is legal nature, which relates to the distinction between prejudice and harm. The other is psychopathological in nature which opposes emotional shock and psychic trauma. Their intertwining allows us to elaborate different cases of manifestation of psychological suffering and define the contours of the qualities of the victim. Secondly, regarding compensation for a psychological victim, both the appreciation and the evaluation of these prejudices will be examined. The repercussions of psychic trauma, or even emotional shock can sometimes be so grave that compensation cannot restrict itself only to the experienced suffering. Consequences of different natures, for example patrimonial ones, must be taken into consideration. To this end, a division of the prejudices of the psychological victim should be put in place. Distinct rules of compensation will be established based on the prejudice endured. A prejudice presumed, originating notably from a harm, cannot logically be compensated in the same fashion as non-presumable prejudices that require a forensic assessment. In short, the system of compensation must be in phase with the system of disclosure of suffering that has been previously established. As a result, this study proposes to construct a true founding status of a psychological victim. Once this principal notion has been completely conceptualized, we can use it to create a rational compensation scheme
