Resumo

Chest trauma will continue to be a significant cause of acute respiratory distress. It is a major source of morbidity and mortality in otherwise healthy young people. Airway control, oxygenation, drainage of pneumothoraces and hemothoraces and fluid resuscitation are the cornerstones of therapy. With these basic maneuvers, most chest trauma patients can be treated successfully.
