Management of rib fractures

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2019
Rib fractures are a common reason for hospital admission and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This article discusses the management of simple rib fractures and provides practical guidance for junior doctors involved in the care of these patients.

Cough fracture of the ribs

British Journal of Tuberculosis and Diseases of the Chest, 1957
Summary The main features are described of 28 cases who were considered to have sustained fifty-seven rib fractures due to cough of non-tuberculous origin. Some assessment of the frequency of this condition to be expected in thoracic work is attempted, and some of the difficulties in diagnosis are emphasised.

RIB fracture triage pathway decreases ICU utilization, pulmonary complications and hospital length of stay.

Injury, 2020
INTRODUCTION Rib fractures are one of the most frequent causes of morbidity following blunt injury to the chest. Many of these patients require ICU care and often develop pulmonary complications.

Rectifying Supporting Regions With Mixed and Active Supervision for Rib Fracture Recognition

IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, 2020
Automatic rib fracture recognition from chest X-ray images is clinically important yet challenging due to weak saliency of fractures. Weakly Supervised Learning (WSL) models recognize fractures by learning from large-scale image-level labels.

Epidemiology of adult rib fracture and factors associated with surgical fixation: Analysis of a chest wall injury dataset from England and Wales.

Injury, 2020
INTRODUCTION Chest wall trauma is commonly seen in patients admitted with both high and low-energy transfer injury. Whilst often associated with other injuries, it is also seen in isolation following simple falls in the older patient.

Outcomes in patients with rib fractures following implementation of the RIB-IMPROVE rib fracture guideline

New Zealand Medical Journal
aim: A rib fracture guideline was implemented at Whangārei Hospital with the aim of improving the care of patients and mitigating the risk of preventable additional morbidity. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of this guideline on the management and outcomes of patients.

The Sequential Clinical Assessment of Respiratory Function (SCARF) Score: A Dynamic Pulmonary Physiologic Score that Predicts Adverse Outcomes in Critically Ill Rib Fracture Patients.

Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2019
BACKGROUND Rib fracture scoring systems are limited by a lack of serial pulmonary physiologic variables. We created the Sequential Clinical Assessment of Respiratory Function (SCARF) score and hypothesized that admission, maximum, and rising scores ...

Chest Trauma Scoring Systems for Predicting Respiratory Complications in Isolated Rib Fracture.

Journal of Surgical Research, 2019
BACKGROUND We retrospectively compared chest trauma scoring systems in patients with rib fractures without major extrathoracic injury for predicting respiratory complications. We also evaluated the predictive power according to the presence or absence of
