Blunt Thoracic Trauma: Definition of a Standard Operating Procedure

Rib fractures are the most frequent injury after blunt thoracic trauma. It is very important to choose the most appropriate interventions to prevent complications. But who will benefit most of those interventions remains a challenge.

This study analyses the correlation between chest X-Ray and CT scan. We also analyse different scores to predict respiratory failure.

Polytrauma patients with thoracic CT-scan

Primary outcomes

  1. Best predictor of respiratory complications

    Time frame: 01/02/2021 - 18/08/2022

    Compare different items to identify the best predictor of respiratory complications: resipratory failure and pneumonia.

    Compare findings in x-ray (read by surgeon), x-ray (read by radiologist) and CT scan

  2. Number of fractures to predict complications

    Time frame: 01/02/2021 - 18/08/2022

    Analyse if there is a number of rib fracture that can predict respiratory complications

  3. Compare scores

    Time frame: 01/02/2021 - 18/08/2022
