Abstract
Chest injury is the most common type of combat injury. With the introduction of new approaches and methods of medical care in combat conditions, mortality rates from this injury have noticeably decreased, which is confirmed by the results of the operations of the US armed forces and their allies «Iraqi Freedom» and «Enduring Freedom». However, at the stages of medical evacuation, the number of deaths from wounds and chest trauma, in comparison with the Vietnam war, increased from 3 to 10%. The advanced stages of evacuation are characterized by early complications – inadequate choice of the drainage site, subcutaneous placement of drainage, intraoperative damage to the vessels, organs of the thoracic and abdominal cavity, in high-tech centers – late – coagulated hemothorax, pneumonia, pleural empyema, and several others. The study of clinical and diagnostic approaches to the provision of medical care to wounded with chest trauma is an urgent problem requiring, among other things, structuring the complications of pleural cavity drainage, optimization of diagnostic algorithms, and improvement of training methods for medical specialists.
