The Decrease of the Duration of Stay in the ICU with Rib Fixation in a Case of Multiple Rib Fracture [PDF]

Turkish Journal of Anesthesia and Reanimation, 2014
Severe breathing problems arise in multiple rib fractures. As a result, many advantages of the surgical stabilization of the chest wall have been reported. Especially, shortening mechanical ventilation, along with a decrease in the duration of intensive care unit stay, is important for the prevention of possible infection complications.

Rib Fixation for Severe Chest Deformity due to Multiple Rib Fractures

Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2012
The operative indications for rib fracture repair have been a matter of debate. However, several reports have suggested that flail chest, pain on respiration, and chest deformity/defect are potential conditions for rib fracture repair. We describe our experience of rib fixation in a patient with severe chest deformity due to multiple rib fractures.
