Analysis of cardiac and pulmonary injuries resulting from an experimental penetrating thoracic injury.
This study was planned to analyze the internal and external anatomical findings of cardiac injuries and the presence of accompanying pulmonary injuries in intentionally inflicted thoracic injuries to swine models. ⋯ This experiment has shown that external evaluation of the heart tissue may not alone be sufficient to determine the extent of cardiac injuries and accompanying pulmonary injuries caused by penetrating thoracic injuries.
