Polytrauma, Respiratory Failure, Rib Fractures, Thoracic Injury
Conditions
Brief summary
Rib fractures are the most frequent injury after blunt thoracic trauma. It is very important to choose the most appropriate interventions to prevent complications. But who will benefit most of those interventions remains a challenge. This study analyses the correlation between chest X-Ray and CT scan. We also analyse different scores to predict respiratory failure.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Best predictor of respiratory complications | 01/02/2021 - 18/08/2022 | Compare different items to identify the best predictor of respiratory complications: resipratory failure and pneumonia. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Compare XRay and CT | 01/02/2021 - 18/08/2022 | Compare findings in x-ray (read by surgeon), x-ray (read by radiologist) and CT scan |
| Number of fractures to predict complications | 01/02/2021 - 18/08/2022 | Analyse if there is a number of rib fracture that can predict respiratory complications |
| Compare scores | 01/02/2021 - 18/08/2022 | Compare different scores: OIS, CTS, Ribscore, Rib Fracture Score |
