Abstract
Background: The aim of this study is to share the experience we gained in the patients with thoracic trauma and to compare our data with the literature. Material And Method: One hundred and ninety-five patients who were presented to emergency unit with chest trauma between January 2010 and August 2012 were analy- sed retrospectively by age, gender, type of trauma, method of treatment and time of hospital stay. Results: Thirty-nine (20%) patients were female an one hundred and fifty-five (80%) patients were male. The mean of the patients ages was 40,2 (3-93 years). 139 (71,2%) patients had blunt and 56 (29,8%) patients had penetrating chest trauma. The most seen thoracic injury was rib fracture (47,1%). Accompanying traumas were observed in 41 (21%) patients and they were in extremity in 23 (56%), head in 16 (39%) and heart in 2 (5%) cases. In relation with the type of injury, 89 (45,6%) patients were conservatively treated while 80 (41%) patients were treated with tube thoracostomy while thoracoscopy was performed on 7 (%3,6) and thoracotomy on 19 (9,8%) patients. The mortality rate was calculated as 2% (n=4). Conclusion: The high rate of mortality recognised in thoracic trauma can be reduced by true and fast decisions in diagnosis and treatment of the patients.
