Chest injury and it's management

The incidence, classifications and management of chest injury are discussed. Proper recognition and treatment of abnormality produced, rather than routine employment of specific measures for specific injury, was stressed. Initial management of individual problems and further management of the patient as a whole are also discussed. During the first three decades of life, accident is the leading cause of death and it ranks fourth among causes of death overall. Since 1879, when the first person was killed in a car accident, the rate of road traffic, accidents has increased. This is accompanied by a paralled increase in severe injury of all kinds, among which chest injuries are prominent and often fatal.
