摘要:
Chest trauma can be classified as a blunt or penetrating thoracic injury. Penetrating chest wounds, which break the skin, are caused by bullets and knives. Thus, the seriousness and extent of internal injuries cannot be assessed by the appearance of the wound due to the direct and indirect injury caused by the weapon. Some of the diagnoses and aspects of treatment of penetrating chest trauma are discussed.
