| Popis: | here has been considerable interest in the past few years in the clinical management of severe closed thoracic trauma, comT monly called crushed chest. This interest is justified by the increasing number of automobile accidents, bringing more of these patients to the hospitals, and by the high mortality and morbidity associated with these injuries. Emphasis has been placed on the extent of the bony injury, paradoxical respiration of the flail chest, and control of the deleterious effects of paradoxical respiration by traction, internal fixation, tracheostomy, and positive pressure ventilation [l, 2, 6, 10-121. The prognosis after blunt trauma to the chest has been greatly improved with this type of management. However, little attention had been paid to the traumatized lungs and the effect of lung injury upon the respiratory |
