Chest Trauma

Chest trauma refers to any injury to the chest area, which can affect the ribs, lungs, heart, and major blood vessels. Common causes include car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Symptoms may include pain, difficulty breathing, or visible swelling. Chest trauma can lead to serious complications, such as pneumothorax (collapsed lung) or internal bleeding. Prompt medical evaluation and treatment are crucial to prevent worsening conditions. Treatment may involve rest, pain management, or surgery, depending on the severity and nature of the injury. Immediate attention is vital for a better recovery outcome.
