The development of methods of treatment of severe chest injury over the years is reviewed and the contribution made by the introduction of intensive care units is assessed. A comparative analysis of the results of treatment in large series of patients reported during the period 1946-78 shows that, despite the risk of complications, the addition of artificial ventilation to conservative methods of treatment reduces mortality in patients with respiratory failure associated with chest trauma.
回顾了多年来严重胸部损伤治疗方法的发展,并评估了重症监护病房的引入所做出的贡献。对1946年至1978年期间报告的大量患者的治疗结果进行的比较分析表明,尽管存在并发症风险,但在保守治疗方法中增加人工通气可降低与胸部创伤相关的呼吸衰竭患者的死亡率。
