ABSTRACT
Thoracic trauma is a frequent injury pattern with high patient morbidity and mortality. Preclinical and clinical emergency treatment is consented in a national S3-guideline. Following emergency therapy one third of patients may develop lung lacerations, pleural fistulation and persisting pneumothorax. An interdisciplinary working group of the German Society for Thoracic Surgery and the German Society for Traumatology reviewed the published medical literature on treatment of those injuries and assessed the existing evidence according to consensus recommendations. An inconsistent classification of those subsequent lung injuries was found. Evidence for diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations is small.
