➡️ Chest Trauma Definition
Any type of injury to the chest or thoracic region that results in a singular entry into the chest can be referred to as penetrating chest trauma. Blunt chest trauma, on the other hand, is a type of non-penetrating trauma to the thoracic region that may result in a pneumothorax, hemothorax, flail chest, or pulmonary contusion. But, for this video, we're focusing specifically on penetrating chest trauma.

➡️ Penetrating Chest Trauma
For patients with this type of injury, it's often the result of a stab or gunshot wound to the chest. This can result in a pneumothorax where air leaks into the pleural space or a hemothorax where there is a leakage of blood. When this is the case, it may require the insertion of a chest tube in order to remove air or blood and decrease the intrathoracic pressure surrounding the lungs.
