“…Direct airway injury is suggested by air bubbling through the neck wound, subcutaneous emphysema, respiratory distress, hoarseness of voice, cough, haemoptysis and proximity of the airway to the line of injury (Demetriades et al, 1996b). Lateral cervical radiographs may often demonstrate soft tissue air or foreign bodies (Cicala et al, 1991). An endotracheal tube can be inserted into an obvious breach in the trachea (Moeng and Boffard, 2002), but a further definitive airway will be required later.…”

The management of gunshot wounds is an increasing problem for UK emergency doctors, but not to an extent where it has become routine or allowed individuals to gain significant experience in their treatment. This article reviews the pathophysiology of gunshot injury in general before examining the evidence available concerning the management of gunshot wounds to the head neck and thorax. Figure 1Typical appearance of a close range shotgun injury. There is an obvious central mass effect with 'peppering' around the periphery

“…9 The mortality rates vary according to the location of injury and are higher for laryngotracheal dislocation and cricoid injuries (44%) compared with isolated tracheal injuries (25%) or laryngeal lesions (8%). 10 Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential for survival and decreased morbidity.…”

AbstrakStudi ini bertujuan menilai peranan CT pada cedera saluran aerodigestif bagian atas. Dua Abstract This study was aimed to assess the role of CT in upper aerodigestive tract injuries. Twenty six patients presenting with upper aerodigestive tract injury were examined by CT. Nineteen patients had blunt trauma to the neck while seven had penetrating injury. Most of the patients presented soon after injury. Symptoms included respiratory distress (14), neck tenderness (18), hoarseness (7), haemoptysis (2) and odynophagia (3). Soft tissue injuries were seen in 8 patients
