Emergency treatment of unilateral multiple rib fractures

For patients who show multiple rib fractures on one side of the chest wall, it is easy to cause chest collapse, thus affecting the patient's respiratory function. After serious, it is easy to cause respiratory arrest, affecting the patient's life. Therefore, after showing this situation, one should pay attention to the patient's vital signs changes, as well as observe the patient's respiratory function, and must maintain smooth breathing. Then it is necessary to appropriately limit the location of chest wall fracture. This situation can be simply tied up. The location of the thorax restricts the movement of the fracture to prevent the injury of the thoracic organs after the fracture. Then after simple bandaging, it must be timely examined and treated. If there is obvious chest wall collapse, emergency surgery is needed to restore the normal thoracic anatomical structure to prevent chest collapse and later affect lung function. And for patients with obvious hemopneumothorax, closed thoracic drainage must be performed in one stage to drain hemopneumosis and prevent pulmonary fibrosis and atelectasis in the later stage.
