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 ...

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1979
A series of 94 children with chest trauma is reviewed. Mortality is related to age and the number of major systems involved. Closed chest injuries were preponderent and were most often caused by road traffic accidents that accounted for all fatalities. The most frequent injury was pulmonary contusion.

Direct or secondary injury to the organs in the chest not only present the physician with a structural problem but will set up a situation where his knowledge of cardiopulmonary physiology is tested. Although major operative repair is usually not needed, procrastination and failure to meticulously treat even what appears to be a minor injury may result

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 ...

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF CHEST TRAUMA
Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1997Recent information indicates that there is a complex cellular and molecular generic response to injury that can lead to multi-organ failure. For many years, basic physiology and biochemistry were considered to be the systemic mechanisms to injury, but now it is known that subcellular and molecular events are the keys to unlocking the secrets of the ...

Trauma to the chest may cause a wide range of injuries including fractures of the thoracic skeleton, contusion or laceration of pulmonary parenchyma, damage to the tracheobronchial tree, diaphragmatic rupture or cardiac contusion. Conditions affecting primarily extrathoracic sites may have indirect effects on the lungs causing adult respiratory ...

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,
