Determination of Thoracic Injuries
Abstract
Research has shown that in India, there is a notable correlation between CI and the rising incidence of motor vehicle accidents, which account for around 6% of worldwide vehicle accidents. This may be attributed to several factors, such as RTA, the introduction of high-speed vehicles, and the prevailing misunderstanding and lack of information regarding traffic regulations. The objective of our study was to assess the P,O & M of T.I. at the first presentation and the first two follow-up visits. The patients were evaluated from the time of admission until either their death or discharge. A comprehensive history of the event was obtained. M of CT was divided into 3 distinct level of care ie, PHTLS, IH /ERTLS & STLS.We found that, majority of patients in our study had RF (74%), followed by PT (40.5%), HT (27%), and LC (13%). MSI (MSI) accounted for 70% of patients, followed by LL (35%), UE (34%), and FBF (29%). 21.5% of patients had EH and 23.5% haD SDH In 22% of instances, skull fractures occurred. Most patients (93.5%) had chest discomfort, followed by D (79%),T(67.5%), and tachycardia (59.5%). We conclude that CT resulting in RTA remains the primary cause of CI. The necessity of traffic rules and regulations must be emphasized to the general public via increased preventative measures, and then those measures must be strictly enforced.
