Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2015
Traumatic injuries involving the thorax can be superficial, necessitating only routine wound care, or they may extend to deeper tissue planes and disrupt structures immediately vital to respiratory and cardiac function. Diagnostic imaging, especially ultrasound, should be considered part of a comprehensive examination, both at admission and during ...

Seminars in Roentgenology, 1992
Thoracic spine fractures are most commonly flexion injuries resulting from vehicular accidents or falls. The initial evaluation of any multiple trauma victim should include AP and cross-table lateral radiographs of the thoracic spine. Conventional and computed axial tomography can add additional information regarding posterior element integrity and ...

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2008
The initial approach to penetrating thoracic trauma is directed towards the pathophysiologic syndrome upon presentation. Most patients are successfully treated with drainage tubes. The unstable patient may necessitate thoracotomy at the emergency room to drain cardiac tamponade, provide cardiac massage and control bleeding.

Although thoracic injuries occur less frequently in children than adults, they remain a source of substantial morbidity and mortality. Disparate problems such as rib fractures, lung injury, hemothorax, pneumothorax, mediastinal injuries, and others may present in isolation or in combination with one another.

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1981
Patterns of thoracic injury in children are typical and result from trauma, usually blunt rather than penetrating, or the mechanical apparatus of patient care. The thoracic cavity in pediatric patients has unique features, including an extremely compliant thorax and a mediastinum capable of wide shifts.

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1993
Thoracic trauma in children is an infrequent but potentially lethal injury often associated with coexisting significant injury to other systems. Most reports suggest that the incidence of chest trauma in the injured child is approximately 10%. The most frequently associated trauma is, unfortunately, to the central nervous system and is an unusually ...

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2007
Thoracic trauma represents an important cause of morbidity in mortality after injury in human beings and animals. After any form of suspected chest wall trauma, initial emergency management should include assurance of a patent airway and adequate ventilation, along with treatment for shock if present.

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 1991
Thoracic trauma is usually accompanied by other body system injury, most frequently head and skeletal injury. Developmental changes throughout childhood make the consequences of such injuries more severe, as children develop respiratory and circulatory compromise quickly. Blunt trauma predominates in pediatric thoracic trauma.

Thoracic epidural for thoracic trauma
Techniques in Regional Anesthesia and Pain Management, 2002Abstract Thoracic trauma causes diaphragmatic dysfunction and severe dynamic pain. Thoracic epidural continuous infusion of local anesthetic and opioid is the treatment of choice for providing effective pain relief and improved pulmonary function in patients with multiple rib fractures or flail chest.
