  1. Thoracic Trauma Tintinalli Chapter 259

  2. Introduction to Thoracic Trauma • 25% of civilian deaths • Hospital mortality <5% • Mechanism predicts mortality

  3. Initial Resuscitation • Respiratory effort • Poor effort / poor movement • Good effort / poor movement • Listen to neck

  4. Initial Resuscitation • Cardiac arrest during / after intubation • Inadequate preintubation oxygenation • Esophageal intubation • Mainstem intubation • Excess ventilation • Developed tension pneumothorax • Systemic air embolism • Vasovagal response • Sudden severe respiratory alkalosis

  5. Initial Survey • Treat life threatening injuries • Airway obstruction • Tension pneumothorax • Cardiac tamponade • Massive hemothorax • Open pneumothorax • Flail chest

  6. Initial Survey • Airway obstruction

  7. Initial Survey • Tension Pneumothorax • Exam • Treatment

  8. Initial Survey • Tension Pneumothorax • Exam • Treatment

  9. Initial Survey • Cardiac Tamponade • Blunt or penetrating trauma • Presentation • Diagnosis • Treatment

  10. Initial Survey • Cardiac Tamponade • Blunt or penetrating trauma • Presentation • Diagnosis • Treatment

  11. Initial Survey • Cardiac Tamponade • Blunt or penetrating trauma • Presentation • Diagnosis • Treatment

  12. Initial Survey • Massive Hemothorax • Mechanisms of lethality • Hypovolemia • Hypoxia • Vena cava compression • Treatment

  13. Initial Survey • Open Pneumothorax • Pathophysiology • Treatment

  14. Initial Survey • Open Pneumothorax • Pathophysiology • Treatment

  15. Initial Survey • Flail Chest • Definition • Examination • Treatment

  16. Ventilatory Support • Consider when: • Impaired ventilation that persists despite primary care treatment measures • Respiratory failure with flail chest • Shock • Multiple injuries • Comatose • Elderly

  17. Shock • Goal: Maintain tissue perfusion • Splanchnic perfusion • Capnometry • PETCO2 <28 mm Hg • P(a – ET)CO2 >10 mmHg • Hypovolemic Hypoptension • Blunt • Penetrating

  18. Treatment • Fluids • Correct hypotension ASAP • Access • Site choice • Stabilize intravascular volume

  19. Treatment • Chest tube and thoracotomy

  20. Cardiac Arrest • External massage (compressions) • Internal massage / thoracotomy • For all blunt injuries with thoracotomy • No SOL at scene: mortality 100% • Loose SOL on scene or enroute: mortality 97.5% • Lost SOL in ER: mortality 96% • For penetrating injuries with thoracotomy • Stab wounds: mortality 85% • GSW: mortality: 96%

  21. Diagnosis of Thoracic Injuries • Symptoms • Physical • Inspection • Percussion • Auscultation • Imaging

  22. Injuries to the Chest Wall • Bleeding • Open chest wounds • Tissue loss • Subcutaneous emphysema

  23. Injuries to the Chest Wall • Bleeding • Open chest wounds • Tissue loss • Subcutaneous emphysema

  24. Injuries to the Chest Wall • Bleeding • Open chest wounds • Tissue loss • Subcutaneous emphysema

  25. Injuries to the Chest Wall • Bleeding • Open chest wounds • Tissue loss • Subcutaneous emphysema

  26. Bony Injuries • Clavicular fractures • Rib fractures • First and second • Multiple • Flail Chest • Sternum fracture • Traumatic asphyxia

  27. Bony Injuries • Clavicular fractures • Rib fractures • First and second • Multiple • Flail Chest • Sternum fracture • Traumatic asphyxia

  28. Bony Injuries • Clavicular fractures • Rib fractures • First and second • Multiple • Flail Chest • Sternum fracture • Traumatic asphyxia
