Blunt Pulmonary Contusion: Admission Computed Tomography Scan Predicts Mechanical Ventilation

Abstract: A simple score derived by the initial chest CT, in combination with GCS and the number of fractured ribs, can predict the need for MV early. In the presence of these predictors, patients should be admitted to a high level of monitoring.

“…Blunt pulmonary contusion occurs in approximately 17% to 27% of patients with multiple injuries with ISS of greater than 15 and can lead to life-threatening complications such as adult respiratory distress syndrome and pneumonia. 17 Weaning from mechanical ventilation, including patients with unplanned endotracheal extubation, has been studied in the literature with the goal of successfully predicting those patients who will wean successfully and remain off the ventilator. 1Y3,5Y12,18Y20 A number of predictive criteria have been used, including vital capacity, tidal volume, minute ventilation, negative inspiratory force, rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI), and P/F ratio.…”

“…37 , 43-45 CT of the chest is more sensitive and specific than CXR in the initial identification of pulmonary contusion ( Figure 4 ). [43][44][45][46] Diagnosis of pulmonary contusion via ultrasound has also been described, adding to the current application of this technology in diagnosing thoracic injuries. 47 , 48 The severity of pulmonary contusions may worsen in the first 24 to 48 hours after injury.…”

“…Lungenkontusionen sind mit einer Präva-lenz von 17-29% die häufigsten intrathorakalen Verletzungen nach einem stumpfen Thoraxtrauma [33]. Eine isolierte Lungenkontusion hat eine Mortalität von etwa 25%, die sich auf etwa 50% erhöht, wenn sie zu einem ARDS führt [33].…”
