Abstract

Three patients (survivors) with isolated blunt chest traumas caused by constant compression mechanisms with known forces are reported on. The low velocity but high compression forces of the accidents, the effect on ventilation and oxygenation, specific early management and follow-up, clinical signs, and underlying complications of these patients are described and discussed.
