    AbstractCardiac and pulmonary injuries present major challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Distinct differences between penetrating and blunt trauma of these organs exist. Outcomes for severe injuries are still grave. Organized trauma systems can provide optimal care by minimizing prehospital time, allowing easy access to imaging modalities, and offering state-of-the-art treatment strategies. A multidisciplinary approach, including surgeons, intensivists, and others, is absolutely necessary.
