PY - 2023 T2 - Fishman’s Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders, 6e AB - Injury to the chest and its contents occurs in nearly a quarter of all trauma patients.1 Thoracic trauma constitutes a diverse spectrum of disease that can be rapidly progressive and that can have both immediate life-threatening consequences and the potential for long-term sequelae. This chapter addresses management of specific injuries to the thoracic contents and chest wall, many of which require intervention immediately or within the first few hours of hospitalization.
