General or unspecified injuries to the chest area.
Literary and oral genre expressing meaning via symbolism and following formal or informal patterns.
A historical and cultural entity dispersed across a wide geographical area under the influence of Greek civilization, culture, and science. The Greek Empire extended from the Greek mainland and the Aegean islands from the 16th century B.C., to the Indus Valley in the 4th century under Alexander the Great, and to southern Italy and Sicily. Greek medicine began with Homeric and Aesculapian medicine and continued unbroken to Hippocrates (480-355 B.C.). The classic period of Greek medicine was 460-136 B.C. and the Graeco-Roman period, 156 B.C.-576 A.D. (From A. Castiglioni, A History of Medicine, 2d ed; from F. H. Garrison, An Introduction to the History of Medicine, 4th ed)

Non-fatal injuries sustained by seatbelt wearers: a comparative study. (1/363)

The injuries sustained by 969 drivers and front-seat passengers in road-traffic accidents were studied. Altogether 196 (20-2%) of the drivers and passengers were wearing seat belts and 773 (79-8%) were not. The injuries among the two groups differed greatly in both severity and distribution. A total of 54 (27-6%) of the seatbelt wearers sustained one or more fractures compared with 300 (38-8%) of the non-wearers, and 18 (9-2%) of the seatbelt wearers were severely injured compared with 300 (38-8%) of the non-wearers. Soft-tissue injuries to the face were sustained by only 29 (14-8%) of the seatbelt wearers compared with 425 (55%) of the non-wearers. Since wearing seatbelts may become compulsory, the type and pattern of injuries to be expected in wearers should be appreciated.  (+info)

Prospective, randomized comparison of epidural versus parenteral opioid analgesia in thoracic trauma. (2/363)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate systemic versus epidural opioid administration for analgesia in patients sustaining thoracic trauma. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: The authors have previously shown that epidural analgesia significantly reduces the pain associated with significant chest wall injury. Recent studies report that epidural analgesia is associated with a lower catecholamine and cytokine response in patients undergoing elective thoracotomy compared with patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). This study compares the effect of epidural analgesia and PCA on pain relief, pulmonary function, cathechol release, and immune response in patients sustaining significant thoracic trauma. METHODS: Patients (ages 18 to 60 years) sustaining thoracic injury were prospectively randomized to receive epidural analgesia or PCA during an 18-month period. Levels of serum interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) were measured every 12 hours for 3 days by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Urinary catecholamine levels were measured every 24 hours. Independent observers assessed pulmonary function using standard techniques and analgesia using a verbal rating score. RESULTS: Twenty-four patients of the 34 enrolled completed the study. Age, injury severity score, thoracic abbreviated injury score, and length of hospital stay did not differ between the two groups. There was no significant difference in plasma levels of IL-1beta, IL-2, IL-6, or TNF-alpha or urinary catecholamines between the two groups at any time point. Epidural analgesia was associated with significantly reduced plasma levels of IL-8 at days 2 and 3, verbal rating score of pain on days 1 and 3, and maximal inspiratory force and tidal volume on day 3 versus PCA. CONCLUSIONS: Epidural analgesia significantly reduced pain with chest wall excursion compared with PCA. The route of analgesia did not affect the catecholamine response. However, serum levels of IL-8, a proinflammatory chemoattractant that has been implicated in acute lung injury, were significantly reduced in patients receiving epidural analgesia on days 2 and 3. This may have important clinical implications because lower levels of IL-8 may reduce infectious or inflammatory complications in the trauma patient. Also, tidal volume and maximal inspiratory force were improved with epidural analgesia by day 3. These results demonstrate that epidural analgesia is superior to PCA in providing analgesia, improving pulmonary function, and modifying the immune response in patients with severe chest injury.  (+info)

Injuries to riders in the cross country phase of eventing: the importance of protective equipment. (3/363)

OBJECTIVES: To determine the distribution of injuries in the eventing discipline of equestrian sports and the effectiveness of the protective equipment worn. METHODS: Data on all injuries sustained in the cross country phase over fixed obstacles were collected from 54 days of competition from 1992 to 1997. This involved 16,940 rides. RESULTS: Data on a total of 193 injuries were collected, which included two deaths. This represents an injury rate of 1.1%. Head and facial injuries represented the largest group (31%), with one third of these requiring treatment in hospital. All riders were wearing protective helmets and body protectors. CONCLUSIONS: Eventing is one of the most dangerous equestrian sports. Improved protective equipment, which is mandatory for 1999, should reduce the severity of these injuries.  (+info)

Aortic rupture as a result of low velocity crush. (4/363)

A case of aortic disruption in a 35 year old lorry driver is described. This occurred as a result of a low velocity crushing force. Clinicians should be aware that this mechanism of injury may result in aortic disruption as well as the more commonly mentioned severe deceleration force.  (+info)

Selective activation of the K(+)(ATP) channel is a mechanism by which sudden death is produced by low-energy chest-wall impact (Commotio cordis). (5/363)

BACKGROUND: Sudden death due to relatively innocent chest-wall impact has been described in young individuals (commotio cordis). In our previously reported swine model of commotio cordis, ventricular fibrillation (with T-wave strikes) and ST-segment elevation (with QRS strikes) were produced by 30-mph baseball impacts to the precordium. Because activation of the K(+)(ATP) channel has been implicated in the pathogenesis of ST elevation and ventricular fibrillation in myocardial ischemia, we hypothesized that this channel could be responsible for the electrophysiologic findings in our experimental model and in victims of commotio cordis. METHODS AND RESULTS: In the initial experiment, 6 juvenile swine were given 0.5 mg/kg IV glibenclamide, a selective inhibitor of the K(+)(ATP) channel, and chest impact was given on the QRS. The results of these strikes were compared with animals in which no glibenclamide was given. In the second phase, 20 swine were randomized to receive glibenclamide or a control vehicle (in a double-blind fashion), with chest impact delivered just before the T-wave peak. With QRS impacts, the maximal ST elevation was significantly less in those animals given glibenclamide (0.16+/-0.10 mV) than in controls (0.35+/-0.20 mV; P=0.004). With T-wave impacts, the animals that received glibenclamide had significantly fewer occurrences of ventricular fibrillation (1 episode in 27 impacts; 4%) than controls (6 episodes in 18 impacts; 33%; P=0.01). CONCLUSIONS: In this experimental model of commotio cordis, blockade of the K(+)(ATP) channel reduced the incidence of ventricular fibrillation and the magnitude of ST-segment elevation. Therefore, selective K(+)(ATP) channel activation may be a pivotal mechanism in sudden death resulting from low-energy chest-wall trauma in young people during sporting activities.  (+info)

Management of penetrating cervicomediastinal venous trauma. (6/363)

OBJECTIVES: to evaluate the results of management of penetrating cervicomediastinal venous trauma. DESIGN: retrospective study. Materials forty-nine consecutive patients with cervical and thoracic venous injuries treated at a tertiary hospital between 1991 and 1997. Method patients identified from a computerised database and data extracted from case records. RESULTS: forty-five patients were male and the mean age was 25.3 years. Forty injuries were due to stabs and 9 to gunshots. 22 patients were shocked, 25 actively bleeding and 31 were anaemic. Veins injured were internal jugular in 25, subclavian in 15, brachiocephalic in 6, and superior vena cava in 3. Injured veins were ligated in 25 cases and repaired by lateral suture in 22. No complex repairs were performed. There were 8 perioperative deaths and 5 cases of transient postoperative oedema. Venous ligation was not associated with increased risk of postoperative oedema. CONCLUSIONS: ligation is an acceptable form of treatment of cervicomediastinal venous injuries in the presence of haemodynamic instability, or where complex methods of repair would otherwise be necessary.  (+info)

Complications of tube thoracostomy in trauma. (7/363)

OBJECTIVE: To assess the complication rate of tube thoracostomy in trauma. To consider whether this rate is high enough to support a selective reduction in the indications for tube thoracostomy in trauma. METHODS: A retrospective case series of all trauma patients who underwent tube thoracostomy during a 12 month period at a large UK teaching hospital with an accident and emergency (A&E) department seeing in excess of 125,000 new patients/year. These patients were identified using the hospital audit department computerised retrieval system supplemented by a hand search of both the data collected for the Major Trauma Outcome Study and the A&E admission unit log book. The notes were assessed with regard to the incidence of complications, which were divided into insertional, infective, and positional. RESULTS: Fifty seven chest drains were placed in 47 patients over the 12 month period. Seven patients who died within 48 hours of drain insertion were excluded. The commonest indications for tube thoracostomy were pneumothorax (54%) and haemothorax (20%); 90% of tubes were placed as a result of blunt trauma. The overall complication rate of the procedure was 30%. There were no insertional complications and only one (2%) major complication, which was empyema thoracis. CONCLUSION: This study reveals no persuasive evidence to support a selective reduction in the indications for tube thoracostomy in trauma. A larger study to confirm or refute these findings must be performed before any change in established safe practice.  (+info)

Defining GERD. (8/363)

"It is not the death of GERD that I seek, but that it turns from its evil ways and follows the path of righteousness." The reflux world is fully aware of what GERD is and what GERD does. What the world does not know, however, is the answer to the most important yet least asked question surrounding GERD's raison-d'etre: Why is GERD here and why do we have it? What GERD is: abnormal gastric reflux into the esophagus that causes any type of mischief. What GERD does: causes discomfort and/or pain with or without destroying the mucosa; causes stricture or stenosis, preventing food from being swallowed; sets the stage for the development of esophageal adenocarcinoma; invades the surrounding lands to harass the peaceful oropharyngeal, laryngeal and broncho-pulmonary territories; reminds us that we are not only human, but that we are dust and ashes. Why GERD is here: We propose three separate and distinct etiologies of GERD, and we offer the following three hypotheses to explain why, after 1.5 million years of standing erect, we have evolved into a species (specifically Homosapiens sapiens) that is destined to live with the scourge of GERD. Hypothesis 1: congenital. The antireflux barrier, comprising the smooth-muscled lower esophageal sphincter, the skeletal-muscled right crural diaphragm and the phreno-esophageal ligament does not completely develop due to a developmental anomaly or incomplete gestation. Hypothesis 2: acute trauma: The antireflux barrier in adults suffering acute traumatic injury to the abdomen or chest is permanently disrupted by unexpected forces, such as motor vehicle accidents (with steering wheel crush impact), blows to the abdomen (from activities such as boxing, etc.), heavy lifting or moving (e.g., pianos, refrigerators) or stress positions (e.g., hand stands on parallel gym bars). The trauma creates a hiatal hernia that renders the antireflux mechanism useless and incapable of preventing GERD. Hypothesis 3: chronic trauma: The antireflux barrier in children and adults is gradually weakened over time as a result of chronic straining to defecate and straining in an unphysiologic position, both of which stem from our modern day habits of eating a low-fiber diet and living on the high-seated toilet. We suggest that the chronic traumatic hiatal hernia is (a) the cause of more than 90 percent of the GERD that stalks the Western world; (b) is a direct result of abandoning the popular and worldwide practice of squatting to socialize, eat and defecate; and (c) is our just reward for adopting the "civilized" high sitting position on chairs and modern toilets.  (+info)

Chest injuries are directly responsible for more than 25% of all motor vehicle fatalities that occur annually in this country. Injuries to the chest are classified as BLUNT (motor vehicle accidents) or PENETRATING (gunshot wounds or stab wounds).. Severity of PENETRATING chest injuries is based on the proximity to major blood vessels, the heart, or lungs. Many stab wounds to the chest puncture the lung, resulting in pneumothorax. In many of these cases, blood vessels can be lacerated, causing a hemothorax, or shock (low blood pressure). All potential chest penetrations must be evaluated IMMEDIATELY by a qualified Emergency Physician to exclude the possibility of a more serious injury.. BLUNT chest injuries account for the majority of chest injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents or falls. Blunt force to the chest wall can result in a rib fracture, lung contusion, or myocardial contusion.. Many of these problems will require hospitalization for treatment.. Hope this article will provide you ...

Objective: The main aim of this study was to improve the quality of injury risk assessments in steering wheel rim to chest impacts when using the Hybrid III crash test dummy in frontal heavy goods vehicle (HGV) collision tests. Correction factors for chest injury criteria were calculated as the model chest injury parameter ratios between finite element (FE) Hybrid III, evaluated in relevant load cases, and the Total Human Model for Safety (THUMS). This is proposed to be used to compensate Hybrid III measurements in crash tests where steering wheel rim to chest impacts occur. Methods: The study was conducted in an FE environment using an FE-Hybrid III model and the THUMS. Two impactor shapes were used, a circular hub and a long, thin horizontal bar. Chest impacts at velocities ranging from 3.0 to 6.0m/s were simulated at 3 impact height levels. A ratio between FE-Hybrid III and THUMS chest injury parameters, maximum chest compression C-max, and maximum viscous criterion VCmax, were calculated for the
A clinically significant cardiac injury occurs in 5% to 15% of patients with severe blunt chest trauma [1, 2, 3, 4]. Coronary artery dissection has a very low incidence. Coronary artery dissection due to blunt chest trauma is even less common and a life-threatening complication [5]. A traumatic dissection is most commonly seen in the LAD (76%), followed by the RCA (12%) and circumflex artery (6%) [6]. The mechanism is poorly understood, but the vulnerable anatomic position of the heart is probably the explanation why the LAD is most affected. The RCA is likely to be most vulnerable at its origin due to acceleration/deceleration injuries [7].. Christensen et al. reviewed 76 published cases of post-traumatic myocardial infarctions [8]. In almost 90% of the cases, the myocardial infarctions were due to motor vehicle collisions or high-velocity trauma. In about 70% of these cases, the infarction was caused by occlusion or dissection of a coronary artery. The presentation or recognition of a ...
From January 1989 to December 1992, in the Institute of Clinical Surgery of the University of Perugia, 102 patients were admitted for thoracic trauma. Two patients with an open thoracic trauma, both presenting multiple shot-wounds, underwent an explorative thoracotomy. One of them died on the operating-table from hemorrhage, while the other was saved by a wedge-resection. A 3rd explorative thoracotomy was successfully performed on a patient with internal thoracic trauma and severe hemothorax. Among the 100 patients with an internal thoracic trauma, mortality was 6%, but only one of the 6 deceased, had no lesions other than a fail chest. As a matter of fact 38 patients presented lesions in other parts of the body. Simple and complicated multiple costal fractures, found in 84 cases, were the most frequent lesions observed. Seventeen of the 38 patients with pneumothorax and/or pleural effusion had a chest tube applied. Three patients were operated for a diaphragmatic hernia with a positive outcome. ...

Non-penetrating chest trauma commonly causes a wide variety of cardiac injuries. Disruption of the aortic valve with resultant aortic regurgitation is not uncommon; conversely, a sinus of Valsalva-right atrial fistula, in the absence of a congenital sinus of Valsalva aneurysm, has been reported only once previously. This report describes the detection by preoperative cardiac catheterisation of both aortic regurgitation, and a sinus of Valsalva-right atrial fistula after blunt chest trauma, and its surgical management. The need for preoperative cardiac catheterisation in patients suffering from non-penetrating cardiac trauma is emphasised, even when the diagnosis appears cleas, because of the diverse nature and possible multiplicity of cardiac lesions. ...

Thoracic trauma is commonplace and accounts for 50-70% of the injuries found in severe trauma. Little information is available in the literature as to timing of endotracheal intubation. The main objective of this study was to assess the accuracy of the ROX index in predicting successful standard oxygen (SO) therapy outcomes, and in pre-empting intubation. Patient selection included all thoracic trauma patients treated with standard oxygen who were admitted to a Level I trauma center between January 1, 2013 and April 30, 2020. Successful standard SO outcomes were defined as non-requirement of invasive mechanical ventilation within the 7 first days after thoracic trauma. One hundred seventy one patients were studied, 49 of whom required endotracheal intubation for acute respiratory distress (28.6%). A ROX index score ≤ 12.85 yielded an area under the ROC curve of 0.88 with a 95% CI [0.80-0.94], 81.63sensitivity, 95%CI [0.69-0.91] and 88.52 specificity, 95%CI [0.82-0.94] involving a Youden index of 0.70.
Blunt trauma produces damage by direct injury, compression, and forces of acceleration or deceleration. Patients with significant blunt injury may require intubation and mechanical ventilation and invasive procedures such as tube thoracostomy. In general, victims of penetrating injuries who survive to reach the hospital often have better outcomes than those who have sustained blunt injuries. Blunt chest trauma from blast injuries is discussed in chapter 7, Bomb, Blast, and Crush Injuries. Penetrating chest injuries in the cardiac box (see Figure 262-1), an area bounded by the sternal notch, xiphoid process, and nipples, should be presumed cardiac or great vessel injuries until proven otherwise. ...

Pulmonary insufficiency continues to be a major cause of death following trauma of many types. In combat casualties, direct injury to the lung is the most common cause of arterial hypoxemia, though contusion of the chest wall by a high velocity bullet may actually produce a greater pulmonary injury than when the lung is penetrated. Similarly, the familiar civilian injuries that occur when the chest is crushed against the steering wheel may produce severe contusion of the underlying pulmonary parenchyma while the chest wall remains intact. An experimental method for producing a standard injury to the lung through the intact chest wall was developed, and the acute changes in cardiopulmonary function following injury have been studied. The physiologic changes associated with healing of the injury were documented.

Background: Patients with severe thoracic injuries and subsequent physiological decline may not be candidates for initial definitive treatment. Despite limited data, this subset of patients may benefit from the implementation of thoracic damage control, which should begin in the emergency room. Methods: A literature search was conducted through Medline following PRISMA guidelines. Articles that focused on damage control surgery, the use of damage control techniques in traumatic injuries, and the use of damage control in civilian populations were selected. Due to the paucity of literature and lack of Level I evidence on this subject, studies published in any year were considered. Results: A search of the literature yielded 119 studies. Most of these were excluded based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Thirty-five articles were selected for review. The majority of these were classified as Level III, IV, or V evidence.

Despite limited data, this subset of patients may benefit from the implementation of thoracic damage control, which should begin in the emergency room. Methods: A literature search was conducted through Medline following PRISMA guidelines. Articles that focused on damage control surgery, the use of damage control techniques in traumatic injuries, and the use of damage control in civilian populations were selected. Due to the paucity of literature and lack of Level I evidence on this subject, studies published in any year were considered. Results: A search of the literature yielded 119 studies. Most of these were excluded based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Thirty-five articles were selected for review. The majority of these were classified as Level III, IV, or V evidence. Limitations: Limitations of this article are similar to all PRISMA-guided ...

Objective: Pneumomediastinum (PM) can be observed after blunt and penetrating chest trauma. Most of the patients with PM due to trauma can be managed conservatively. This study aimed to evaluate the cases with PM on thorax computed tomography (CT) after blunt chest trauma (BCT). Methods: Medical records of patients with PM due to BCT between January 2000 and December 2014 were reviewed retrospectively. Thorax CT was used to verify pneumomediastinum in all patients. Twenty-four patients which had different causes of PM (penetrating trauma, iatrogenic, spontaneous) were excluded from the study. Data of sixty-nine patients with the diagnosis of PM secondary to BCT and who were observed without any further procedure for the cause of PM, were evaluated retrospectively. Results: There were 59 male and 10 female patients with the mean age of 47.60 ± 17.47 years (range, 16 to 80 years). The most common cause of PM etiology was traffic accident with a rate of 38 (55.06%) patients, followed by fall from height
Occult cardiac injury following blunt trauma is more common than generally suspected. Myocardial contusion is not rare, however, it is generally a benign disorder which often remains undiagnosed. We report a case of a right atrial rupture after blunt chest trauma causing a tamponade. A 24-year-old man was involved in a violent car accident and he presented in a state of collapse. A multislice computed tomography indicated a pericardial effusion (Figure 1). A transthoracic echocardiography was performed and confirmed pericardial effusion which was hyperechoic (Figure 2, Movie 1). Concerns about a possible mass in the right atrium led to examination with transesophageal echocardiography (Figure 3, Movie 2) which revealed the presence of a voluminous mass in the right atrium. The patient successfully underwent cardiac surgery to remove the mass, identified as a blood clot, and to repair the atrial tear. The present case is of special interest because of the rarity of documented incidents of blunt chest
With blunt chest trauma, there are often no exterior signs or symptoms of injury to the chest. Clinical entities associated with blunt chest trauma include fractures, pulmonary contusion, tracheobronchial injury, myocardial and vascular injury, esophageal perforation, and diaphragmatic injury. Fractures can involve the ribs, sternum, vertebrae, clavicles, or scapulae. Of these, rib fractures are the most common. Rib fractures without flailing can be painful, resulting in splinting, atelectasis, and hypoxemia due to ventilation/perfusion mismatching. Isolated rib fractures almost never necessitate mechanical ventilation unless they are associated with other injuries such as pulmonary contusion. Flail chest is a loss of stability of the rib cage caused by multiple rib fractures, which frequently results in significant ventilatory disturbances due to underlying damage to the lung parenchyma, inefficient expansion of the thorax due to paradoxical movement of the chest wall, and pain leading to ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Isolated computed tomography diagnosis of pulmonary contusion does not correlate with increased morbidity. AU - Kwon, Albert. AU - Sorrells, Donald L.. AU - Kurkchubasche, Arlet G.. AU - Cassese, John A.. AU - Tracy, Thomas F.. AU - Luks, Francois I.. PY - 2006/1. Y1 - 2006/1. N2 - Background: Increased utilization of computed tomography (CT) has led to a rise in the diagnosis of pulmonary contusion. Its clinical significance, in the absence of findings on chest radiograph (CXR), has not been defined. This study examines the clinical course of patients with CT-only diagnosis of pulmonary contusion and compares it with that of patients with CXR-proven pulmonary contusion. Methods: The trauma database identified all children undergoing chest CT for blunt thoracic trauma during a 3-year period. Records were reviewed for age, mechanism of injury, Injury Severity Score (ISS), length of hospital stay (LOS), need for intensive care unit admission, and need for endotracheal intubation. A ...
Bosentan is an endothelin-1 receptor antagonist with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiproliferative effects. We aimed to evaluate its effects on lung tissue in a pulmonary contusion (PC) model. The rats were randomly divided into five groups: PC3: PC evaluated on the 3rd day (n = 8), PC-B3: PC enteral bosentan 100 mg/kg/day, for 3 days (n = 8), PC7: PC evaluated on the 7th day (n = 7), PC-B7: PC 7 days bosentan 100 mg/kg/day, for 7 days (n = 8), C: control (n = 6). Unilateral lung contusion was created by dropping a metal weight onto the chest. The rats were sacrificed on the 3rd or the 7th days. The lung tissue was evaluated histopathologically for alveolar edema, congestion, and leukocyte infiltration, biochemically for malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and nitric oxide (NO) levels, and immunohistochemically for inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and apoptosis scores. Alveolar edema, congestion, and leukocyte infiltration ...
The procedure and equipment used to perform a thoracotomy in a cardiothoracic operating theatre is highly specialised. To a non-cardiothoracic surgeon this may give rise to anxiety and a reluctance to perform this intervention in an emergency setting. Patients with penetrating chest trauma resulting in cardiac arrest caused by tension pneumothorax or cardiac tamponade have potentially reversible pathology. Bilateral thorocostomies reliably rule out tension pneumothorax and should be performed even if needle decompression has been unsuccessful. This approach to tension pneumothorax has the additional advantage that the thorocostomies are also the start of the clam shell thoracotomy.. We have found needle periocardiocentesis to be ineffective because of the frequent presence of extensive clot in the pericardial sac. In patients without a cardiac output attempts at needle pericardiocentesis delay definitive intervention and therefore do not form part of our procedure.. A traditional left ...
This review examines the effects of blunt trauma to the pediatric chest, as well as its relevant etiologies and associated mortality. Diagnostic and treatment options for commonly encountered injuries such as pulmonary contusions, rib fractures, and pneumothoraces are examined. Additionally, this review discusses rarely encountered-yet highly lethal-chest wall injuries such as blunt cardiac injuries, commotio cordis, nonaccidental trauma, and aortic injuries.
Flail chest refers to a section of the rib cage that has broken away from the surrounding ribs. Usually, more than one rib is involved, and they are broken in at least two places. Flail chest typically is the result of blunt chest trauma. As a result of flail chest, the chest wall becomes unstable and dangers of life threatening respiratory failure and hypoxemia (lack of oxygen to circulating blood which will lead to organ damage or failure)occur.. Currently, these injuries are treated non operatively. However, small case series have demonstrated that operative management can improve Intensive Care Unit (ICU) length of stay, improved pulmonary function and decreased pain leading to decreased duration of mechanical ventilation, and the incidence of complications related to this injury.. This study hopes to provide information on whether a prospective randomized trial is feasible by first undertaking a small pilot study to determine rate of recruitment, data collection methods, and integrity of ...
Predictors of mortality of chest trauma vary globally. We aimed to define factors affecting mortality of hospitalized chest trauma patients in Al-Ain City, United Arab Emirates. The data of Al-Ain Hospital Trauma Registry were prospectively collected over a period of three years. Patients with chest trauma who were admitted for more than 24 hours in Al-Ain Hospital or who died after arrival to the hospital were included in the study. Univariate analysis was used to compare patients who died and those who survived. Gender, age, nationality, mechanism of injury, systolic blood pressure and GCS on arrival, the need for ventilatory support, presence of head injury, AIS for the chest and head, presence of injuries outside the chest, and ISS were studied. Significant factors were then entered into a backward stepwise likelihood ratio logistic regression model. 474 patients having a median (range) age of 35 (1-90) years were studied. 90% were males and 18% were UAE citizens. The main mechanism of injury was

BACKGROUND: Effective therapy of Acute Lung Injury (ALI) is still a major scientific and clinical problem. To define novel therapeutic strategies for sequelae of blunt chest trauma (TxT) like ALI/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, we have investigated the immunomodulatory and regenerative effects of a single dose of ex vivo expanded human or rat mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs/rMSCs) with or without priming, immediately after the induction of TxT in Wistar rats. METHODS: We analyzed the histological score of lung injury, the cell count of the broncho alveolar lavage fluid (BAL), the change in local and systemic cytokine level and the recovery of the administered cells 24 h and 5 days post trauma ...

When we think of breathing, we usually think about getting air in. Often times with SCI, and especially with SCI and cigarette smoking, getting air out can be even more important. Why? Because a buildup of mucus and various secretions in the lungs - which are increased by smoking - can lead to problems. Normally, this buildup is coughed out. However, the muscles responsible for coughing are affected with cervical injuries, and to a varying degree with thoracic injuries as well. An impaired ability to cough can frequently lead to atelectasis, which is a collapse of the honeycomb-like air sacs that often causes secretions to become trapped in the lungs. The secretions build up and may lead to pneumonia, one of the more common causes of both sickness and death with SCI. Smoking increases the production of this mucus and contributes to congestion. Whats more, smoking further impairs the ability to cough or expel these secretions. A study of 165 SCI survivors found that smokers tested significantly ...

Traumatic diaphragmatic injury (DI) is a unique clinical entity that is usually occult and can easily be missed. Their delayed presentation can be due to the delayed rupture of the diaphragm or delayed detection of diaphragmatic rupture, making the accurate diagnosis of DI challenging to the trauma surgeons. An emergency laparotomy and thorough exploration followed by the repair of the defect is the gold standard for the management of these cases. We report a case of blunt DI in an elderly gentleman and present a comprehensive overview for the management of traumatic injuries of the diaphragm.

This is a general overview-take what detail you want for your scene. The EMTs or paramedics will stabilize his breathing-if necessary, theyll put a breathing tube down his throat and into his airway. Then they can bag him-use a pliable plastic bag to push air into his lungs-breathe for him. The chest wound will be inspected and covered. An IV line will be started (at least one) of a large size to add volume to the blood supply and keep the blood pressure up. This also allows medications to be given. A heart monitor will be attached. Blankets to maintain warmth and help stave off shock. During all this, heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing will be monitored. The ambulance will be in contact with the ER. In hospitals that have the capability of functioning as a trauma center, a surgeon may be waiting for the patient. Otherwise the ER staff will be ready for a hot unload, a seriously ill patient in need of immediate attention. The goal in the ER is to stabilize the patient. Depending on ...
