Year: 1994

Type: article

Abstract: Ninety-nine patients with chest trauma were clinically evaluated in terms of their prognoses. In accordance with advances in thoracic surgery, the survival rates were remarkably improved. However, six deaths were encountered in this series. The causes of deaths were attributable to associated injuries extend to two or three regions including the head and the abdomen so that precise detection and proper treatments should be made as quickly as possible. In conclusion, the prognoses of serious chest trauma patients are influenced by the presence and the degree of concomitant injuries as well as proper urgent managements.
