“…In survivors, with a mean follow-up of 5 years, long-term morbidity was significant, with 49% complaining of chest wall pain, 35% complaining of moderate to severe dyspnea, and 39% never able to return to any form of employment. Similarly, Beal and Oreskovich [11] in a study of 22 injured patients found similar results, with 64% suffering long-term morbidity (chronic pain, chest wall deformity, dyspnea) and 22% remaining permanently disabled. Because the focus of trauma units has often been more on overall survival beyond the early hospital period, less attention has been given to trying to mitigate the long-term debilitating effects of these injuries.…”

“…Hipoksinin oluştuğu yelken göğüs hastaları yoğun bakıma alınıp, endotrakeal entübasyondan sonra mekanik ventilatör ile solutulmaktadır. Bu durumlarda açık redüksiyon yapılarak kosta stabilizasyonun hasta morbiditesini azalttığı, ventilatör ihtiyacını azalttığı ve pulmoner enfeksiyon riskini minimalize ettiği bildirilmiştir (2,12). Granetzny ve ark.…”

“…Hastalarda yoğun ağrı, dispne ve yetersiz inspirasyon sebebi ile pulmoner komplikasyonlarda ve özellikle atelektazide artma meydana gelmektedir. Bu da hastanın hastanede kalma süresinin artmasına, uzun yoğun bakım izlemine ve morbiditenin artmasına, sonuçta yüksek hasta maliyetine yol açmaktadır (2). Yelken göğüs olgularında da erken entübasyon, agresif ağrı kontrolü ve mekanik ventilasyon ile efektif akciğer ventilasyonu sağlanmaya çalışılmaktadır.…”

“…7,10,12,19 -21 Long-term problems of patients with flail chest injuries treated nonoperatively include subjective chest tightness, thoracic cage pain and dyspnea. 10,22 Indications for surgical stabilization of a flail chest are severe pulmonary restrictions due to the paradoxical movement of the flail segment, 2,3,11 markedly overriding ribs and severe instability, 15,23 intra-thoracic lesions which require thoracotomy, 2,4,11,14,24 -26 progressive lung volume loss or deteriorating pulmonary function in non-intubated patients, 3,15,27 and persistent instability which prevents weaning from the ventilator. 3,15,28 An extensive pulmonary contusion is considered a relative contraindication by some authors because the patients will require prolonged mechanical ventilation anyway.…”
