“…For both the ventral and lateral access way, there are described extensive complications not only when laying the patient but also during the course, i.e., malposition or subcutaneous emphysema abscess formation [7,19]. The main complication here is the misplacement of a drainage.…”

Abstract:Introduction: Thorax injuries are to be found in approximately 78% amongst all accident victims. Moreover, they implicate an increase in mortality rate. Consequently, an adequate contemporary treatment has to begin preclinically, even if the conditions are less comfortable than in a clinical setting. Emergency doctors need to be familiar with the placement of chest tubes. Materials and Methods: From

“…Studies of chest trauma are largely based on data from trauma registries, which often do not include patients with minor injuries (e.g., isolated rib fractures), resulting in bias in the literature toward severely injured patients [57]. Furthermore, the nature of many thoracic injuries lends itself poorly to clinical trials performed in a randomized fashion.…”

Trauma remains the leading cause of death in the world in patients under 45 years of age. The evaluation, resuscitation, and appropriate management of polytraumatized patients are paramount to successful outcomes. The advance of evidence-based medicine has had a powerful and positive impact on trauma care, even though the nature of many traumatic injuries lends itself poorly to study in a randomized fashion. During the initial management of bleeding patients, hypotensive resuscitation prior to surgical control has found strong support in the literature, and its use has been adopted by many surgeons. Head injury is the most common cause of traumatic death, and while high-level evidence is limited, adherence to management guidelines is associated with improved outcomes. For abdominal trauma, the concept of damage control surgery, while popular, has never been put to the test in a randomized controlled trial. Numerous randomized trials in the field of critical care have affected the management of severely injured patients, including intensive insulin therapy and low tidal volume ventilation in patients with compromised respiratory function. Finally, a multidisciplinary approach to trauma care in designated trauma centers allows for improved outcomes in polytraumatized patients.

“…In the literature from the early nineties, the majority of cases are still treated conservatively with internal pneumatic stabilization and pain relief. [3][4][5] Mechanical ventilation is still considered by most surgeons the standard treatment for patients with associated trauma or respiratory failure. Such strategies carry significant morbidity and mortality because of ventilatory-associated infections and increased intensive care stay.…”

Flail chest complicates about 10% of patients with chest trauma and is associated with a mortality rate of 10-20% in older series, while a recent one reports no mortality. The majority of the cases are treated conservatively with internal pneumatic stabilization and pain control. In recent years, nevertheless, we assisted in the resurgence of chest wall fixation due to the availability of new devices. We report our experience in the use of mouldable titanium clips (STRACOS, Strasbourg Thoracic Osteosyntheses System; MedXpert, Heitersheim, Germany) to fix traumatic rib fracture. This device presents an advantage over previous strategies, as it is easy to apply and doesn't require drilling and screwing of the ribs.
