Conclusion Pulmonary contusion and paradoxical respiratory movement were the important causes resulting in respiratory dysfunction of traumatic flail chest.
Abstract: : Objective To investigate the therapeutic strategies, decrease the damage of pulmonary function and improve survival rate for severe chest trauma with flail chest.
Objective To report the therapy method and result of the traumatic flail chest wall.
Objective: To emphasize the importance of mechanical ventilation in the emergency management of flail chest and primary brain-stem injury.
Conclusion Emergency surgical internal fixation may improve the hemodynamics of traumatic flail chest, and has some short-term therapeutic effect on flail chest.
Conclusion: Video assisted thoracoscopic surgical management of the traumatic flail chest wall is effective safe and imposing minimal injury.
Outcomes of traumatic flail chest treated by operative fixation versus conservative approach
Objective To evaluate the therapy of traumatic flail chest and its effects.
Injuries that may acutely impair ventilation are tension pneumothorax, flail chest with pulmonary contusion, massive hemothorax, and open pneumothorax.
Conclusion Integrative therapy should be taken for traumatic flail chest.
Objective To discuss the surgical experience of traumatic flail chest.
