About this study

Trauma is a public health problem, associated to high morbidity and mortality, In Egypt the mortality from road traffic crashes is about 12000 victims per year.

  • Chest trauma represents from 10% to 15% of the total number of traumas worldwide.

According to ATLS protocol , early diagnosis and management of Chest trauma are essential. *Pulmonary contusion is found in 30-75% of cases of chest injury.

  • point of care Ultrasound (POCUS) is Now a corner stone in Emergency management it can predict lung contusions within the first 72 hours after trauma.
  • Recently, LUS Play a major role in assessment of the volume status in Trauma patients.
  • B-lines score (BLS) has been validated as a lung ultrasound quantification of pulmonary congestion.The sum of all B-lines yields a score, B-lines score (BLS), which assess the degree of lung contusion. So that LUS may provide a valuable safety threshold to conduct fluid therapy.

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age > 18 years.
  • chest trauma patients either with or without other injuries.
  • Any patient with either blunt or penetrating chest trauma.

Exclusion criteria

Treatment and study plan

Chest examination with Ultrasound device

Other

Chest examination with Ultrasound device

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of patients with lung contusion

    Time frame: Upto 24 hours after trauma

    Pulmonary edema will be detected by B_lines trauma patients with lung contusions

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinical correlation between Type & volume of Fluid & occurance of pulmonary edema. Correlation between severity of pulmonary lung contusion & The final disposition of the patients whatever (OR _another department _death….. etc) upto 24hr.

    Time frame: For first 24 hours after trauma

    Follow up on degree of contusions after fluid resuscitation
