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.
