Pulmonary laceration is a common result of penetrating trauma but may also be caused by blunt trauma; broken ribs may perforate the lung, or the tissue may be torn due to shearing forces [5] that result from different rates of acceleration or deceleration of different tissues of the lung. [6]
Pulmonary lacerations that fill with blood are called pulmonary hematomas. [4] In some cases, both pneumatoceles and hematomas exist in the same injured lung. [ 5 ] A pneumatocele can become enlarged, for example when the patient is mechanically ventilated or has acute respiratory distress syndrome , in which case it may not go away for months.
Pulmonary laceration, in which lung tissue is torn or cut, differs from pulmonary contusion in that the former involves disruption of the macroscopic architecture of the lung, [1] while the latter does not. [2] When lacerations fill with blood, the result is pulmonary hematoma, a collection of blood within the lung tissue. [3]

However, in some medical circles, it can instead be more commonly known as Macklin's Syndrome after L. Macklin, in 1939, and C.C. and M.T. Macklin, in 1944, who cumulatively went on to describe the pathophysiology in more detail. [3] Subcutaneous emphysema can result from puncture of parts of the respiratory or gastrointestinal systems.
Experts say vehicle-based attacks are simple for a 'lone wolf' terrorist to plan and execute, and challenging for authorities to prevent.
Injuries to the tracheobronchial tree within the chest may occur due to penetrating forces such as gunshot wounds, but are more often the result of blunt trauma. [6] TBI due blunt forces usually results from high-energy impacts such as falls from height and motor vehicle accidents; the injury is rare in low-impact mechanisms. [2]
