Most patients with major airways injury die before reaching hospital. Successful treatment of initial survivors depends on procurement of a reliable airway, effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and prompt primary repair. In practice many tracheobronchial injuries are overlooked during the first 24 hours, resulting in death or prolonged debility. Early recognition requires a high index of suspicion in victims of blunt or penetrating trauma to the chest or neck.
大多数严重气道损伤患者在抵达医院前死亡。对最初存活者的成功治疗取决于建立可靠的气道、有效的心肺复苏以及迅速的一期修复。实际上，许多气管支气管损伤在最初24小时内被忽视，导致死亡或长期虚弱。早期识别需要对胸部或颈部钝性或穿透性创伤患者保持高度怀疑。
