“…This approach is initiated by stabilizing the patient, following the algorithms described by the ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support) of the ABCDE of the trauma [ 8 ]. If stabilized, patients should undergo imaging tests before any intervention, with five indications for immediate intervention being described in the literature: cardiac tamponade; traumatic thoracotomy; tracheal, bronchial or esophageal injury; massive hemothorax and lesion of large vessels [ 9 , 10 ]. In the reported patient, no exams or surgical intervention were initially performed due to the deficiency of infrastructure, a common situation in the state of Amazonas countryside, which prolonged his diagnosis and treatment.…”

“…Dentro de los estudios complementarios usados en conjunto con la valoración médica, figuran las radiografías, el estudio sonográfico FAST (Focused assessment with sonography in trauma) por sus siglas en inglés, Tomografía axial computarizada (TAC), laboratorios, entre otros. (6,8) El tratamiento definitivo tiene como objetivo restaurar el funcionamiento fisiológico de la cavidad torácica y de sus estructuras, por ende, varía según las lesiones y su complejidad; sin embargo, diversos estudios han demostrado que, menos del 10% de los traumatismos cerrados y 15-30% de los traumatismos penetrantes, requerirán procedimientos quirúrgicos avanzados para su tratamiento, ya que, en su mayoría, resuelven con la toracostomia y medidas de soporte básicas.

“…La principal causa son los accidentes automovilísticos. (5,6,7) Independientemente del mecanismo causal, es importante rescatar que, la gravedad del paciente portador de neumotórax traumático, depende de tres factores esenciales: el grado de compromiso estructural, la velocidad de instauración y los efectos contralaterales. (7) Clínicamente, los neumotórax traumáticos, se clasifican en dos entidades separadas; en los neumotórax cerrados y/o hipertensivos y los abiertos y/o de succión.…”
