Özet
Blunt thoracic trauma is a common form of chest injuries that can be mortal on both sides of the thorax leading to potentially fatal respiratory or cardiovascular compromise. As blunt thoracic trauma may lead to fatal outcomes, emergency interventions are needed. Proper management of blunt chest trauma with timely chest tube thoracostomy should be considered, whenever necessary, optimal pain control and chest physiotherapy result in a good outcome in the majority of patients. Here, we present a case report of a polytraumatic patient with bilateral pneumothoraces with multiple rib fractures after a severe blunt trauma successfully treated by bilateral tube thoracostomy
