Focus on chest trauma: implications from clinical and experimental studies

Authors: Klemens Horst, Frank Hildebrand

Published in: European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery | Issue 1/2020

Excerpt

Chest trauma still represents one of the most frequent and devastating injuries after polytrauma. Besides the direct effects of the traumatic impact itself, lung integrity and function are also indirectly endangered by the systemic release of inflammatory mediators due to additional injuries of other body regions. Significant efforts have to be made to better understand the underlying pathomechanisms to improve diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This issue of the European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery therefore focuses on recent aspects of chest trauma based on data from clinical and experimental studies, which underlines the relevance of bidirectional translational research. …
