Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Pulmonary contusion represents a serious complication of chest trauma. Its management should include adequate oxygen therapy and ventilatory support. Monitoring of the patient's condition should be by repeated measurement of arterial blood gases; use of the Swan-Ganz catheter is seldom necessary. Broad-spectrum antibiotics are generally indicated but cortisone, cardiotonic drugs and diuretics are not usually required. |
