The observations made in 651 cases of traumatic lung injuries suggested the advisability of dividing these injuries into three groups according to the severity of the clinical picture. The criterion was the degree of impairment of respiratory function as assessed by repeated gas analyses. By relating function to severity of the clinical picture it was possible not only to institute the appropriate therapeutic measures but also to obtain information regarding the prognosis. Lung injuries in group 2 and 3 require prompt transfer to an intensive care unit with experience in chest surgery before irreversible damage has set in.
对651例创伤性肺损伤病例的观察表明，根据临床表现的严重程度将这些损伤分为三组是可取的。标准是通过反复气体分析评估的呼吸功能损害程度。通过将功能与临床表现的严重程度相关联，不仅可以采取适当的治疗措施，还可以获得有关预后的信息。2组和3组的肺损伤需要在不可逆转的损伤发生之前迅速转至有胸外科经验的重症监护病房。
