Thoracic and abdominal injuries in children are commonly the result of blunt trauma, making their diagnosis difficult. Unidentified injuries can cause significant morbidity and mortality and must be identified early. Understanding the anatomic and physiologic differences between children and adults is important to adequately manage children with these injuries. The following review provides salient points in the recognition and management of both thoracic and abdominal injuries in children from blunt trauma.
儿童胸腹部损伤通常由钝性创伤所致，这使得其诊断颇具难度。未被识别的损伤可导致严重的发病率和死亡率，因此必须尽早识别。了解儿童与成人在解剖学和生理学上的差异，对于妥善处理患有这些损伤的儿童至关重要。以下综述阐述了钝性创伤所致儿童胸腹部损伤的识别与处理要点。
