Strategien in Diagnostik und Therapie des Thoraxtraumas

Abstract: Chest injury is encountered in 20 % of all traumatized patients. 25-35 % have an isolated trauma to the chest. 65-75 % are seen as accompanying injuries in polytraumatized patients. Blunt trauma occurs in 90-95 % and penetrating injury in 5-10 %. Fractures to the thoracic bone structure are the most common type of injury, followed by contusions to the lung, hemothorax and pneumothorax. Injuries to the mediastinum and diaphragm are less frequent. Primary diagnosis is best established by computer tomography and … Show more

Surgical management of thoracic injuries is only needed in the smallest single-digit percentage range.…”

“…Isolierte Thoraxtraumen machen dagegen nur 25 aller Verletzungen des Brustkorbs aus. Die Überlebenschancen sind teilweise mit einer etwa 25igen Letalität maßgeblich durch die thorakale Verletzung bestimmt; hierbei sind Blutverlust und respiratorische Insuffizienz bestimmend [69].…”
