MUNOZ VELARDEZ, Emmanuel O; MONDINI, Mauricio J; ARAGON, Adrián e DIZ, Gonzalo. Right main bronchus avulsion due to thoracic blunt trauma. Rev. argent. cir. [online]. 2018, vol.110, n.2, pp.109-110. ISSN 2250-639X.
The incidence of tracheobronchial ruptures secondary to blunt thoracic trauma is low and most affected patients do not arrive alive to hospitals. Clinical presentation varies with the location of lesions, associated injuries and whether the peribronchial structures remain intact. Early diagnosis requires a high index of clinical suspicion and a correct interpretation of semiologic and radiologic findings, which allows for a rapid and correct resolution. Delay in treatment increases the mortality as well as early and late complications.
