Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 1993
The number of injured elderly is expected to increase over the next 20 years. The mortality for injured persons age 50 years and older is higher than expected at all levels of injury severity. No good explanation for this phenomenon exists, although chronic disease is frequently cited.

ADVANCES in the care of traumatic injuries have often coincided with wars where large numbers of casualties are concentrated in both time and space. In civilian practice, injuries tend to be more widely distributed and advances in management come more slowly and spread less quickly.

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2000
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.

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1993
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,
