Our aim is to describe foreign body aspiration in the tracheobronchial tree, a common emergency with serious consequences. ⋯ Foreign body aspiration are rapidly recognized from the patient's history and easily treated by bronchoscopy and extraction of the aspirated foreign body. A high index of suspicion is crucial for early diagnosis. However, education is the best preventive measure for decreasing the incidence of this matter.

Thoracic traumas constitute an important part of the patients who are being admitted to the emergency units and deaths due to trauma. The aim of this study was to compare our clinical experience and results of the literature. ⋯ Thoracic traumas can cause vital organ injuries and impaired cardio-respiratory hemodynamics should be treated immediately.

[The effects of lactated ringer's resuscitation on tissue blood flows and oxidant injury in experimental crush injury in rats].
In an experimental model of crush injury, tissue blood flow, the extend of oxidant injury and the effect of lactated ringer's resuscitation were investigated. ⋯ Lactated ringer's resuscitation improved the blood flow rates but could not prevent oxidant injury totally.
