DOI: 10.1007/s00068-018-0961-4
Abstract: Purpose Flail chest was traditionally treated non-operatively using mechanical ventilation and pain control. In order to reduce the occurrence of ventilation-associated complications and long-term disability, operative rib fixation is becoming a proven standard therapy for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/01.ccm.0000619248.06547.7f
Abstract: Introduction: Chest wall injury (CWI) following cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is often encountered particularly in aging patients. This encompasses rib fractures, costal cartilage disruptions, and sternal fracture. Prone ventilation theoretically could exacerbate these injuries, leading to… read more here.
