Title: Effect of invasive mechanical ventilation on the treatment of flail chest complicated with acute pulmonary contusion
Abstract: Objective To study the effect of invasive mechanical ventilation on the treatment of flail chest complicated with acute pulmonary contusion. Methods 18 cases of flail chest complicated with acute contusion from January 2006 to July 2009 were retrospectively analyzed; the Changes of all kinds of parameters during the respirator internal fixation treatment were analyzed. Results PaO2,PaCO2,PaO2 /FiO2 and SpO2 were obviously improved after the treatment,and there was statistical significance (P 0. 01). 14 cases were cured,the cure rate was 77. 8% ,Conclusion Invasive mechanical ventilation can not only fix flail chest,but also effectively treat pulmonary contusion,but need to control the duration of mechanical ventilation and prevent and cure the relative complications.
