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.

An analysis of 337 wilfully inflicted penetrating thoracic injuries is made. In 22 cases thoracotomy was performed; in 19 cases laparotomy was indicated, ten times for direct trauma and nine times for lesions caused by abdominal stabbing in addition to penetrating thoracic injuries. Eight patients died, one of whom was not operated on.

Deadly Dozen ... Lethal Six ... Hidden Six ... Major thoracic injuries are known as the Deadly Dozen. The Lethal Six (airway obstruction, tension pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade, open pneumothorax, massive hemothorax, and flail chest) are immediate, life-threatening injuries that require evaluation and treatment during primary survey.

Thoracic injuries are uncommon in children but, if they occur, they are suggestive of a significant mechanism of injury. The child must undergo a thorough examination to exclude or detect concomitant injuries to the head, abdomen and spine. These concomitant injuries often result in appreciable morbidity and mortality.

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 ...

[Major thoracic trauma--sternal trauma].
Annali italiani di chirurgia, 2005From 1999 to 2003, 101 patients (M/F = 83/18, mean age = 46 +/- 18 y) with thoracic trauma have been admitted to the Center for Thoracic Surgery in Varese. Over 50% of pts. with major thoracic trauma were treated by chest tube drainage; however, surgery was necessary just in 16/101 pts.; 29 pts. were admitted to ICU; deaths were 3/101.

Thoracic trauma in multiple trauma increases mortality threefold, usually due to sepsis. Disturbances of the pulmonary vasculature are seen soon after trauma, as is increased EVLW. This can be due to 3 different mechanisms: 1. High pressure edema due to high intrathoracic pressure. Protein-poor edema.
