B – Breathing – provide high flow oxygen, check position of trachea, percuss for dullness, auscultate for equal air entry, exclude tension pneumothorax, examine for chest wall tenderness, flail segments or wounds. [pch.health.wa.gov.au]

Paradoxical chest wall motion Look for bruising, seat belt or steering wheel marks, penetrating wounds Feel Feel for the trachea for deviation Assess whether there is adequate and equal chest wall movement Feel for chest wall tenderness or rib 'crunching [trauma.org]

[…] major clinical significance – as above): 28 Abnormal CXR (any thoracic injury including clavicle fracture or a widened mediastinum) Distracting injury Chest wall tenderness (boundaries defined as the upper and lower costal margins circumferentially; [emdocs.net]

(A) Examination of the chest wall showed bruising as sign of injury and chest wall tenderness. (B) Subsequent computed tomography showed a rib fracture. Figure 1. [ekjm.org]

Results of cTnI were compared with those of 125 consecutive blood donors and 25 non-cardiac chest pain ED patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pleuritic pain may not develop for hours. If the pneumothorax is large, hyperresonance to percussion may be present. Respiratory distress, shock, unilateral absence of breath sounds, and hyperresonance to percussion indicate tension pneumothorax. [madsci.com]

Because his oxygen saturation deteriorated from 92% in the supine position to 86% in the sitting position, platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome was suspected. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We successfully treated a case of mitral regurgitation due to chest trauma in Barlow's disease. A 71-year-old man was admitted with severe mitral regurgitation after blunt compression of the chest by a heavy object 5 months earlier. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Delayed chest pain after trauma should be suspected during coronary dissection, and on treatment, care must be taken to extend the hematoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

If the chest wall impact occurs during a narrow vulnerable window of ventricular repolarization, the generated premature ventricular impulse can lead to VF and sudden death. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The authors theorized that the anesthetic agent benefits pulmonary function by blocking inhibitory neural impulses destined for the diaphragm thereby improving diaphragmatic function. [east.org]

A 29-year-old patient after blunt chest trauma with right lung atelectasis and pulmonary empyema was referred for lung ventilation and perfusion scintigraphy before right-sided pneumonectomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Atelectasis IV. Subcutaneous emphysema II. [quizlet.com]

Rib fractures without flailing can be painful, resulting in splinting, atelectasis, and hypoxemia due to ventilation/perfusion mismatching. [mhmedical.com]

[…] in breathing can be caused by one or more of the following mechanisms: (1) impairments in the chest wall or musculature, for example, secondary to pain or because the chest wall motion is not coordinated; (2) impairments in gas exchange, secondary to atelectasis [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]

Permanent pacemaker was performed in two patients with third-degree atrioventricular block. None of the patients had coronary artery disease or hypertension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
