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.

DOI: 10.1097/ta.0000000000001729
Abstract: BACKGROUND The optimal timing of surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) remains debated. We hypothesized that (1) demographic, radiologic, and clinical variables are associated with time to surgery and (2) shorter time to SSRF improves… read more here.
