    AbstractThe majority of chest injuries in children may be effectively diagnosed and treated in the emergency room area, if an organized plan is followed and a high index of suspicion for specific injuries is maintained.

Of those few blunt and penetrating injuries that require operative management, operative techniques do not differ from those employed in adult trauma patients.
