Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes S00-S09 within Chapter XIX: Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes should be included in this category. Chest trauma is an injury to the chest .
Traumatic asphyxia is characterized by cyanosis in the upper extremities, neck, and head as well as petechiae in the conjunctiva. Patients can also display jugular venous distention and facial edema. [3] Associated injuries include pulmonary contusion, myocardial contusion, hemo/pneumothorax, and broken ribs. [4] [5]
A traumatic pneumothorax may result from either blunt trauma or penetrating injury to the chest wall. [13] The most common mechanism is the penetration of sharp bony points at a new rib fracture, which damages lung tissue. [18] Traumatic pneumothorax may also be observed in those exposed to blasts, even when there is no apparent injury to the ...
A chest injury, also known as chest trauma, is any form of physical injury to the chest including the ribs, heart and lungs. Chest injuries account for 25% of all deaths from traumatic injury. [ 1 ] Typically chest injuries are caused by blunt mechanisms such as direct, indirect, compression, contusion, deceleration, or blasts [ 2 ] caused by ...
Severe pulmonary contusion with pneumothorax and hemothorax following severe chest trauma [68] A large amount of force is required to cause pulmonary contusion; a person injured with such force is likely to have other types of injuries as well. [23] In fact, pulmonary contusion can be used to gauge the severity of trauma. [25]
Trauma, surgery, and prolonged bed-rest are common risks. Covid-19 is a recent risk factor. [18] This obstruction increases the pulmonary vascular resistance. If large enough, the clot increases the load on the right side of the heart. The right ventricle must work harder to pump blood to the lungs.
A chest radiograph of a flail chest associated with right sided pulmonary contusion and subcutaneous emphysema. Diagnosis is by physical examination performed by a physician. The diagnosis may be assisted or confirmed by use of medical imaging with either plain X ray or CT scan. Paradoxial movements of flail segments.
