Abstract
The most common surgical intervention following chest injury is simply tube thoracostomy. Despite the fact that it is uncommon for more complex interventions to be required acutely, the overall mortality and complication rate following chest injury is as high as 25%. Complications in the post resuscitation phase not uncommon, and surgeons managing these patients must be facile with a number of exposures and techniques, the choice of which will be affected by the patients injury mechanism, stability and the setting in which the patient is initially resuscitated.
Keywords: Pleuroscopy, sternotomy, thoracotomy, thoracostomy, video-thoracoscopy.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
