Trauma is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite the advent of specialised trauma centres the outcome of patients who sustain major trauma remains disappointing. Plain radiography and more advanced imaging techniques such as ultrasound, computerised tomography (CT) and angiography, have a major role to play in the early decision ...

Chest trauma will continue to be a significant cause of acute respiratory distress. It is a major source of morbidity and mortality in otherwise healthy young people. Airway control, oxygenation, drainage of pneumothoraces and hemothoraces and fluid resuscitation are the cornerstones of therapy.

Trauma represents the leading cause of death in young adults, and traumatic lesions of the heart and great vessels carry an extremely high mortality, which is partially due to a delayed recognition and treatment of life-threatening conditions. We describe the pathophysiology and presentation of the most common traumatic lesions of the heart and ...

Chest wall trauma is common, and contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality of trauma patients. Early identification of major chest wall and concomitant intrathoracic injuries is critical. Generalized management of multiple rib fractures and flail chest consists of adequate pain control (including locoregional modalities); management of ...

Penetrating chest trauma causes a broad spectrum of injury that requires a variety of diagnostic and resuscitative skills. Prompt resuscitation and decisive action are mandatory for patients who present in extremis, whereas a thorough diagnostic evaluation and appropriate observation are indicated in less compelling circumstances.

Blunt and penetrating chest trauma in children results from many causes but the major cause is motor vehicle accidents. The trauma induces a variety of injuries to the bony thorax, the pulmonary parenchyma, and mediastinal structures. In recent years, a disturbing increase in iatrogenic chest trauma has occurred in patients, particularly small infants,

Chest Radiography after Minor Chest Trauma
Acta Radiologica, 1987The results of chest radiography in 581 patients with blunt minor thoracic trauma were reviewed. Frontal and lateral views of the chest indicated pathology in 72 patients (12.4%). Pneumothorax was present in 16 patients; 4 had hemothorax. The physical examination and the results of chest radiography were not in accordance because in 6 (30%) of the 20 ...

Sufficient trauma to the chest can result in injury to the bony thorax and soft tissues of the chest wall, increasing patient morbidity and mortality. Fractured ribs can lacerate the pleura, lung, or abdominal organs. Fractures to upper ribs, clavicle, and upper sternum can signal brachial plexus or vascular injury.

The spectrum of injuries after blunt chest trauma presents a challenging problem to the emergency physician. The clinician must select among a number of diagnostic tests and therapeutic options after the initial history and physical examination has been performed. Nine clinical entities are discussed: sternal fracture, flail chest, pulmonary contusion,
