Review Practice GuidelinePrehospital management of chest injuries in severely injured patients-a systematic review and clinical practice guideline update.
Our aim was to review and update the existing evidence-based and consensus-based recommendations for the management of chest injuries in patients with multiple and/or severe injuries in the prehospital setting. This guideline topic is part of the 2022 update of the German Guideline on the Treatment of Patients with Multiple and/or Severe Injuries. ⋯ Some evidence suggests that ultrasound should be considered to identify pneumothorax in the prehospital setting.
