Pulmonary laceration is usually accompanied by hemoptysis (coughing up blood or of blood-stained sputum). [12] Thoracoscopy may be used in both diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary laceration.

Of people who have multiple injuries with an injury severity score of over 15, pulmonary contusion occurs in about 17%. [20] It is difficult to determine the death rate because pulmonary contusion rarely occurs by itself. [17] Usually, deaths of people with pulmonary contusion result from other injuries, commonly traumatic brain injury. [24]
Accompanying injuries often play a key role in the outcome. [10] Injuries that may accompany TBI include pulmonary contusion and laceration; and fractures of the sternum, ribs and clavicles. [2] Spinal cord injury, facial trauma, traumatic aortic rupture, injuries to the abdomen, lung, and head are present in 40–100%. [17]
