abstract="Blunt or penetrating trauma to the chest can cause several life-threatening conditions: open or closed pneumothorax, each with or without hemothorax; flail chest; pericardial tamponade, and injury to other structures in the chest--the esophagus, trachea or great vessels. Any trauma sufficient to compromise function of thoracic organs must also be suspect for extrathoracic injuries, especially to the spleen and other abdominal viscera.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
