Abstract:
Thoracic injuries are the third most common traumatic injury. Approximately two thirds of thoracic injuries are due to motor vehicle collisions. They are associated with up to a 20% mortality rate. This is primarily due to the presence of several complex anatomical structures within the thoracic cage such as the heart, great vessels, esophagus, airways, lungs, mediastinum, bones, muscles, diaphragm, and pleura. A chest radiograph is the initial imaging modality in the evaluation of the chest. However, multidetector computer tomography (MDCT) with intravenous contrast is the imaging modality of choice in the assessment of acute thoracic injuries.Endovascular repair is less invasive and has a better outcome than traditional surgical repair. This review article discusses the indications, benefits, and findings of radiographs and MDCT in patients with thoracic injuries, especially with regard to the thoracic aorta.

Abstract:
Pleural injuries and the associated “air leak” are the most common complications after pulmonary surgery. Air leaks are the primary reason for prolonged chest tube use and increased hospital length of stay. Pectin, a plant-derived heteropolysaccharide, has been shown to be an air-tight sealant of pulmonary air leaks. Here, we investigate the morphologic and mechanical properties of pectin adhesion to the visceral pleural surface of the lung. After the application of high-methoxyl citrus pectin films to the murine lung, we used scanning electron microscopy to demonstrate intimate binding to the lung surface. To quantitatively assess pectin adhesion to the pleural surface, we used a custom adhesion test with force, distance, and time recordings. These assays demonstrated that pectin–glycocalyceal tensile adhesive strength was greater than nanocellulose fiber films or pressure-sensitive adhesives (p < 0.001). Simultaneous videomicroscopy recordings demonstrated that pectin–glycocalyceal adhesion was also stronger than the submesothelial connective tissue as avulsed surface remnants were visualized on the separated pectin films. Finally, pleural abrasion and hyaluronidase enzyme digestion confirmed that pectin binding was dependent on the pleural glycocalyx (p < 0.001). The results indicate that high methoxyl citrus pectin is a promising sealant for the treatment of pleural lung injuries.

Abstract:
Results of treatment of 325 wounded are analyzed with penetrating wounds of the chest and identify risk factors for the development of infectious complications. Found that infectious complications of the chest organs developed in 49 (15,1%) cases. It has been established that the most frequent infectious complications of penetrating wounds of the chest are post-traumatic pneumonia (67,3% of cases) and acute empyema of the pleura (26,5% of cases). The most prognostic significant risk factors for the development of infectious complications were identified: the type of injury (odds ratio - 2,48;95% confidence interval - 1,34-3,76), the severity of injuries (odds ratio - 7,88; 95% confidence interval - 3,9-15,92), blood loss (odds ratio - 3,09; 95% confidence interval - 1,6-5,94), duration of stay in the intensive care unit (odds ratio - 9,25;95% confidence interval - 4,57-18, 74), the intersection of chest wall structures (odds ratio - 2,84; 95% confidence interval- 1,24-6,47). Measures aimed at the prevention of infectious complications should be started from the moment the woundedperson enters the hospital. The priority tasks are to maintain the patency of the tracheobronchial tree, expanding the lung,adequate drainage and debridement of the pleural cavity. A high risk of developing infectious complications in penetratingwounds of the chest is expected in the wounded in a severe and extremely serious condition (according to the scale of fieldsurgery - condition at admission more than 31 points). The duration of stay in the intensive care unit for more than 4 daysincreases the probability of infectious complications 9 times.

Abstract:
Iatrogenic tracheal injuries are uncommon, but potentially lethal and associated with significant morbidity. During esophagectomy the proximity of the trachea to esophagus makes it vulnerable to injury. The reported incidence of tracheal injury during esophagectomy ranges between 1-5%. Various methods for repairing tracheal injuries have been described in the literature. Most preferred mode of repair described is the reinforcement of the primary repair with flap cover. Most common autologous flaps used are pericardium, pleura, extra thoracic muscle flaps and intercostal muscle flaps. Other described methods for repairing tracheal injuries are primary repair without buttressing, and buttressing with gatric conduit serosal patch, graft and glue. In this study we reviewed different methods and outcome of repair described in the literature and our experienced of managing three cases.

Abstract:
Introduction. Penetrating injuries of the neck are potentially life-threatening conditions. They can cause injuries of larynx, trachea, esophagus and major blood vessels in this area. Case report. The patient was a 28-year-old male who was stabbed with broken glass penetrating the front side of the base of his neck. The patient had dyspnea and the wound was inflicted the night before admission to hospital. An otorhinolaryngologist found a stab wound in the region of the left basis of the neck. The wound was 2 cm long with no signs of bleeding and deep injuries of the anatomical structures of the neck. However, since left hemopneumothorax was clinically and radiologically apparent, drainage of the thorax was performed upon admission to the intensive care unit. Initially, 400 mL of hemorrhagic effusion was evacuated. However, 24 hours later the patient became hemodynamically unstable. It was an indication for videoassisted thoracoscopy (VATS). Therefore, VATS was used as a diagnostic method in order to determine the nature of the injury. Intraoperatively, we treated a laceration of pleuropulmonary adhesion which was continuously bleeding from the apex of the thoracic cavity. As a result, adequate surgical hemostasis was achieved. Furthermore, during the three-week postoperative period, thoracic tubes were placed due to the prolonged air leakage. A thoracic tube was placed laterally along with another one which was placed in intercostal space higher. After total reexpansion of the left lung, thoracic tubes were extracted, and the patient was discharged. Conclusion. Nowadays, VATS has become a highly important ultimate treatment of thoracic trauma. This minimally invasive method allows us to verify injury type and localization, to resolve it and further to follow-up evaluation of pathological changes in the lungs, pericardium, mediastinum, pleura and thoracic wall. In the case of stab wounds in the cervical region, any injuries of the lungs and pleura must be taken into consideration.

Abstract:
Background: Chest trauma constitutes a major public health problem which includes the injuries to chest wall, pleura, tracheobronchial tree, lungs, diaphragm, oesophagus, heart and great vessels. It consist of more than ten percent of all traumas and twenty five percent of death due to trauma occurs because of chest injury. Chest trauma is increasing in frequency in urban hospitals. Penetrating and nonpenetrating thoracic injuries the most serious injuries leading to significant morbidity and mortality.Methods: This study was prospective observational study of 220 patients of thoracic trauma both penetrating and non-penetrating. These patients admitted in general surgical units from August 2017 to May 2018 of Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Sharma, PGIMS Rohtak Haryana India. The study was pertaining to both penetrating and non-penetrating chest trauma.Results: Out of 220 chest injury patients who were studied during the said period, Males were 203 and females 17 by a ratio of 12:1 and age ranged from lowest 18 years to 85 years of age. Majority of the patients (90.45%) sustained blunt injuries. RTA was the common mechanism of blunt injury affecting (50.45%) of patients. Multiple Rib fractures was the commonest type of chest injury (21.36%) followed by head injury (17.27%). Head injury was the commonest associated injury seen in our patients. Conclusions: Chest trauma resulting from road traffic accident remains a major mechanism of chest injury. The measures to decrease the trauma are, educating people about traffic rules and regulations and strictly implementing them is necessary to reduce incidence of chest injuries.

Abstract:
Introduction. Subendocardial hemorrhages are grossly visible bleedings in the inner surface of the left ventricle, the interventricular septum, and the opposing papillary muscles and adjacent columnae carneae of the free wall of the ventricle. These are commonly seen in sudden profound hypotension either from severe blood loss from ?shock? in the widest sense and, even more often, in combination with brain injuries. Case Outline. We present a case of a 38-year-old man, injured as a car driver in a frontal collision, who died c. 45 minutes after the accident. The autopsy revealed severe chest trauma, including multiple right-sided direct rib fractures with the torn parietal pleura and right-sided pneumothorax, several right lung ruptures, and a rupture of one of the lobar bronchi with pneumomediastinum, and prominent subcutaneous emphysema of the trunk, shoulders, neck and face. The patchy subendocardial hemorrhage of the left ventricle was observed. The cause of death is attributed to severe blunt force chest trauma. Conclusion. We postulate pneumomediastinum leading to extrapericardial tamponade as the underlying mechanism of this subendocardial hemorrhage.

Abstract:
Abstract Background: During mechanical ventilation, stress and strain may be locally multiplied in an inhomogeneous lung. The authors investigated whether, in healthy lungs, during high pressure/volume ventilation, injury begins at the interface of naturally inhomogeneous structures as visceral pleura, bronchi, vessels, and alveoli. The authors wished also to characterize the nature of the lesions (collapse vs. consolidation). Methods: Twelve piglets were ventilated with strain greater than 2.5 (tidal volume/end-expiratory lung volume) until whole lung edema developed. At least every 3 h, the authors acquired end-expiratory/end-inspiratory computed tomography scans to identify the site and the number of new lesions. Lung inhomogeneities and recruitability were quantified. Results: The first new densities developed after 8.4 ± 6.3 h (mean ± SD), and their number increased exponentially up to 15 ± 12 h. Afterward, they merged into full lung edema. A median of 61% (interquartile range, 57 to 76) of the lesions appeared in subpleural regions, 19% (interquartile range, 11 to 23) were peribronchial, and 19% (interquartile range, 6 to 25) were parenchymal (P &lt; 0.0001). All the new densities were fully recruitable. Lung elastance and gas exchange deteriorated significantly after 18 ± 11 h, whereas lung edema developed after 20 ± 11 h. Conclusions: Most of the computed tomography scan new densities developed in nonhomogeneous lung regions. The damage in this model was primarily located in the interstitial space, causing alveolar collapse and consequent high recruitability.

Resumo: O Atendimento Médico Pré-hospitalar tem ganho atenção e estímulo no Brasil nos últimos anos, e com o crescimento desta nova área de atuação médica, surgiram novos problemas a serem resolvidos. Um desses problemas é a drenagem pleural tubular fechada, pois o mecanismo de fluxo unidirecional mais comumente usado, o selo de água, é inseguro e pouco prático para o atendimento pré-hospitalar. Objetivos: Testar a eficiência e a segurança do DVU - Dispositivo de Válvula Unidirecional, para a substituição do selo de água na drenagem pleural tubular fechada em ambiente pré-hospitalar, através de parâmetros clínicos. Material e método: Foram utilizados 22 DVU em 21 doentes no período de tempo compreendido entre maio de 2002 e maio de 2004. Todos doentes foram atendidos pelo autor e por ele submetidos à colocação do DVU, vítimas de traumatismo torácico, penetrante ou fechado, ou com pneumotórax espontâneo com repercussão clínica. Resultados: Dezesseis (72,7%) ferimentos penetrantes da caixa torácica, três (13,6%) ferimentos torácicos fechados e três (13,6%) pneumotórax espontâneos foram incluidos no estudo. Houve melhora dos parâmetros aferidos como pressão arterial, freqüências cardíaca e respiratória e da propedêutica pleuro-pulmonar (ausculta e percussão torácicas); o débito de líquidos através da válvula foi em média de 700 ± 87,4 ml (variando de zero a 1500 ml). Houve duas falhas mecânicas, sendo em um caso possível a substituição do mecanismo defeituoso por outro funcionante e em outro caso a substituição do DVU pelo selo de água. Discussão: A drenagem pleural no ambiente pré-hospitalar é fator de discussão quanto às indicações, técnicas e dispositivos de fluxo unidirecional. A literatura internacional tem dado grande importância à drenagem pré-hospitalar, como fator de estabilização de doentes instáveis, além de outras medidas de suporte, com melhora da sobrevida, diminuição de morbidade e de tempo de internação. A divulgação de dispositivos de substituição do selo de água no Brasil faz-se necessária, devido à baixa disponibilidade de similares no mercado nacional. Conclusão: concluiu-se que o DVU é útil, seguro e bem aceito pelas equipes de atendimento hospitalar e pré-hospitalar, além de ser uma alternativa nacional, menos dispendiosa e mais acessível dos que os similares importados
Abstract: Prehospital medical service in Brazil has been attracting attention in the past years. With the expansion of this new field of medical service new problems have arisen to be solved. One of these problems is the closed pleural drainage. This is because the unidirectional flux mechanism commonly used, the underwater seal, is unsafe and not user friendly in the prehospital set. Objectives: test the efficiency and safety of the DVU (unidirectional valve) to replace the water seal for closed pleural drainage in the prehospital environment, through clinical parameters. Material and method: 22 DVU were used in 21 patients from may 2002 and may 2004. All patients were attended by the author who undertake the pleural drainage with the valve, victims of thoracic traumatism, closed or penetrating, or with spontaneous pneumothorax with clinical repercussion. Results: Sixteen (72,7%) penetrating injuries of the chest, three (13,6%) closed thoracic injuries and three (13,6%) spontaneous pneumothorax were included in this study. An improvement in the observed parameters was registered, such as arterial blood pressure, cardiac and respiratory frequency, as well as the pulmonary propedeutics (auscultation and thoracic percussion); the liquid outflow of the valve was 700 ± 87,4 ml (ranging from zero to 1500 ml). Two mechanical failures were registered one of which the drainage system was replaced by a new one and the other the DVU was replaced by a underwater seal. Discussion: The prehospital pleural drainage is a matter of debate in regard to indications, techniques and unidirectional flux systems. The international literature given great importance to the prehospital drainage, as a factor of stabilizing patients, besides other support measures, increasing overall survival, decreasing morbidity and hospital stay. The divulgation of means that replace the underwater seal in Brazil is of extreme importance, due to the low availability of similar systems in the national market. Conclusions: It was concluded that the DVU is useful, safe and well accepted by the prehospital set, in addition, it is a national alternative, less costly and more accessible that its international similar systems

Abstract:
In the setting of trauma, thoracic injuries are third in frequency after injuries to the head and extremities. While the greatest source of mortality in the setting of thoracic trauma is vascular injury, nonvascular injuries are much more common and can result in substantial morbidity and mortality, complicating overall case management. This section will focus on non vascular injuries that may be seen in the setting of trauma involving the lungs, diaphragm, mediastinum, thoracic skeleton, heart and pleura. Findings in both blunt and penetrating trauma will be highlighted.

Abstract:
This chapter traces the history of negligence in tort. The role of fault in the action of trespass vi et armis is somewhat speculative, since the relevant facts were hidden from courts by the plea of Not Guilty. But the concept of inevitable accident seems to be predicated on negligence. Negligence is more visible in actions on the case, though the earliest examples were contractual in essence. The first signs of a distinct tort of negligence, where there was no contract or custom imposing liability, appear in the seventeenth century, and in the next century there emerges a general principle that everyone must take reasonable care not to injure his neighbour. The duty of care was gradually enlarged between the eighteenth century and the present, especially with the removal of obstacles connected with the principle volenti non fit injuria and with the old notion that trespass would not lie for words.

Full text
Abstract:
It has become fashionable to start discussions of disease related to fibrous inorganic materials by referring to Pliny the Younger (A.D. 61-114), who commented in a letter on the sickness of slaves who worked with asbestos. His observation was forgotten, as evidenced by the fact that during the Middle Ages, Paracelsus (1493–1541) as well as Agricola (1494–1556) wrote extensively on “miner’s disease” without mentioning asbestos. Later, Zenker (1867) coined the word pneumo(no)coniosis to describe the diseases endemic to coal and iron miners. Differential diagnosis of the pulmonary disorders, tuberculosis, silicosis, pneumonia, and other lung disease was attempted thereafter, although the varieties were often confused even by experienced physicians. The industry that provided asbestos to modern society started at about this same time (in the 1870s). The first indication of pulmonary disorder in an asbestos worker came in an autopsy report of fibrosis by Dr. Montague- Murray at Charing Cross Hospital, London, in 1899–1900 (Peters and Peters, 1980). By 1902 asbestos was included in the list of dusts considered injurious by the Lady Inspector of Factories, Adelaide Anderson (Oliver, 1902). Auribault (1906) appears to have been the first to note high mortality in workers in an asbestos mill and weaving establishment, but he attributed their illness to calcium carbonate dust rather than asbestos. Scarpa (1908) believed the pulmonary disease of 30 asbestos workers was caused by tuberculosis, and Fahr (1914), who published the case of a female asbestos worker who died of “pleuro-pneumonia . . . with a large number of crystals in pulmonary tissue of a peculiar nature,” was clearly somewhat mystified at the presence of nonbiological materials. It was Cooke (1924, 1927, 1929) who first defined asbestos as a specific etiologic agent in pulmonary fibrosis. He described extensive fibrosis with thickened pleura and adhesions to the chest wall and pericardium in asbestos workers and noted the presence of abundant mineral matter (“curious bodies”), but also tubercular lesions. The term asbestosis was used in the 1927 publication. Pancoast and Pendergrass (1925) argued that the fibrosis seen in asbestos workers was a result of ad-mixed silica and an expression of “asbestosilicosis,” signifying uncertain etiology of the observed symptoms, a view that survivied into the 1930s (Lynch and Smith, 1935).

Abstract:
Tube Thoracostomy (TT) is a surgical procedure involving the insertion of a plastic tube into the patient’s pleural cavity with the purpose of evacuating the air or fluid contents that have abnormally accumulated in this space [1]. Chest tube insertion has been identified as part of a core set of skills needed in a physician’s repertoire when caring for an injured patient [2]. Iatrogenic injuries, traumatic injuries, as well as malignancy, are the likely clinical scenarios were tube thoracotomy may be required. The presentation of these clinical events can be classified into three broad categories: pneumothorax, hemothorax, and pleural effusion, all of which lead to the abnormal accumulation of air, blood, or lymphatic fluid within the pleural space, respectively.
