“…The term trauma derives from the Greek traumatos, which means wound, damage, or harm, and is used in medical vocabulary to refer to the organic consequences caused by injuries resulting from external violence 1 , 2 . According to the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACSCOT), it can also be defined as damage characterized by structural changes or physiological imbalance, resulting from acute exposure to some form of energy, be it mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical, or radioactive, affecting superficially soft parts and/or damaging noble and deep structures in the body 2 - 4 .…”

Introduction: thoracic trauma is defined as anything that involves the rib cage, the musculoskeletal framework that houses the heart, lungs, pleurae and mediastinal structures. It can be superficial or immediately lifethreatening for victims. In Brazil, most assistance is due to urban violence. Objective: evaluate the clinical and epidemiological aspect of patients who are victims of thoracic trauma treated at Hospital de Urgência de Sergipe, Aracaju/SE, Brazil. Method: cross-sectional, observational and prospective study, carried out for eleven months, with 100 polytraumatized patients. A semi-structured form was applied, and the data were systematized, analyzed and statistically tested considering a 5% margin of error. Results: 85% of the patients were male, with a mean age of 39.3 and an age range of 30 to 49 years; 57% of them had incomplete primary education, 70% had a family income of up to 2 minimum wages and 41% were from Greater Aracaju. As for the mechanism of trauma, 33% were car-related, with blunt trauma as the main mechanism, and rib fractures as the main consequence. Among penetrating injuries, CWI (26%) and GSW (21%) were the most prevalent, with hemothorax being the main consequence. Most patients underwent thoracostomy (59%). Conclusion: the profile found was of young men, victims of urban violence. The thoracostomy was resolving in most cases and should be instituted promptly when necessary. A smaller number of patients may require thoracotomy, especially in the presence of hemodynamic instability.

With its high prevalence and high association with morbidity and productive losses, both in developed and developing countries, trauma has come to be considered a public health problem, especially in the younger population.…”

RESUMO Introdução: o trauma torácico é definido como toda aquele que envolve a caixa torácica, arcabouço osteomuscular que aloja o coração, os pulmões, as pleuras e as estruturas do mediastino. Pode ser superficial ou causar risco de vida imediato às vítimas. No Brasil, a maioria dos atendimentos é decorrente da violência urbana. Objetivo: avaliar o aspecto clínico-epidemiológico dos pacientes vítimas de trauma torácico atendidos no Hospital de Urgência de Sergipe, Aracaju/SE, Brasil. Métodos: estudo transversal, observacional e prospectivo, realizado durante onze meses, com 100 pacientes politraumatizados. Formulário semiestruturado foi aplicado, e os dados sistematizados, analisados e testados estatisticamente considerando-se a margem de erro de 5%. Resultados: 85% dos pacientes eram do gênero masculino, com idade média de 39,3 e faixa etária de 30 a 49 anos; 57% deles possuíam ensino fundamental incompleto, 70% tinham renda familiar de até 2 salários mínimos e 41% eram provenientes da Grande Aracaju. Quanto ao mecanismo de trauma, 33% foi automobilístico, tendo como principal mecanismo o trauma contuso, e a principal consequência a fratura de arcos costais. Dentre os ferimentos penetrantes, os FAB (26%) e FAF (21%) foram os mais prevalentes, sendo o hemotórax sua principal consequência, sendo maioria dos pacientes submetida a toracostomia (59%). Conclusão: o perfil encontrado foi de homens, jovens, vítimas da violência urbana. A toracostomia foi resolutiva na maioria dos casos e deve ser instituída prontamente quando necessário. Uma menor parte dos pacientes necessitou de toracotomia, principalmente na presença de instabilidade hemodinâmica.
