What is the chest?
The Chest Flail is a very serious complication of trauma of blunt force to the chest, such as the one that occurs in a traffic accident, which can lead to death if it is not treated. In patients with chest flail, part of the thoracic wall separates from the rest and moves in the opposite direction from the rest of the sternum. This causes the chest to appear to be boasting or fighting when the patient breathes and explains the name. This condition has been observed and discussed by the medical community for hundreds of years. Ribcage and sternum are intentionally designed to be extremely robust because they protect some very fine organs. When multiple sets of fractures occur in the right places, part of the thoracic wall separates, causing the development of instability. When the patient breathes, the separate part moves inside, against the external movement of the chest and when the patient exhales, the separate part protrudes rather than sinking with the rest of the chest.
patients with chest with fLail usually has difficulty breathing and there is a risk of internal injuries due to the movement of a separate piece of the thoracic wall. Their chests are often bruised due to the injury that caused the chest, and the chest is usually very fine to the touch. The chest also suggests that the patient may have basic trauma, such as lung or heart damage, which may contribute to the patient's breathing patient.
Historically, the chest was perceived as an extremely serious complication, both because of basic damage to the connected and for problems caused by a separate wall of the chest. A number of treatments with different levels of efficacy were used to manage chest flail, and patients often experienced a long and traudoba of matic recovery if the initial crisis performed.
Modern treatment of chest flail includes complete examination to determine the extent of damage, paired with drugs to treat pain to keep the patient comfortable. In cases where patients have serious breathing problems can be mechanical valiLACE used to maintain the patient's correct oxygenation. Once the patient has been stabilized, surgery can be used to address the chest. Following the surgery, the patient may have to spend a lot of time resting to make the broken ribs a chance to recover without tension.
