Thoracic Trauma Nursing Guide

1) Trauma to the thorax can cause injuries like pneumothorax, hemothorax, and flail chest. Signs include respiratory distress, asymmetric chest rise, and tracheal deviation. 2) Tension pneumothorax is a life-threatening condition where air builds up in the pleural space, compressing the lung. It requires immediate needle decompression or chest tube placement. 3) Penetrating chest injuries can cause open pneumothorax, allowing outside air to enter the chest cavity. They require occlusive dressings or surgery to close the chest wall defect.

LAB VALUES: Blood Gas Analysis, Full blood Count


RADIOLOGY : X-ray, CT SCAN, MRI
DEFINISI DAN ETIOLOGI
TRAUMA:
Trauma occurs when an external force of energy impacts
the body and causes structural or physiologic alterations,
or injuries.

ETIOLOGI:
External forces can be radiation, electrical, thermal,
chemical, or mechanical forms of energy
Blunt or Penetrating Injury
(Urden, Stacy, & Lough 2014)
CONTOH TRAUMA THORAX
Tension pneumothorax
Open Pneumothorax
Hemothorax
Tracheobronchial tree injury
Traumatic aortic disruption, Traumatic diaphragmatic
injury
Blunt esophageal rupture
Cardiac Tamponade
Flail Chest, Pulmonary contusion
PATOFISIOLOGI
Hypoxia, hypercarbia, and acidosis often result
from chest injuries.
Blood loss – hypovolemia – hypoxia - pulmonary
ventilation/perfusion mismatch - changes in the
intrathoracic pressure
This hypoperfusion leads to metabolic acidosis.
Changes in the intrathoracic pressure - inadequate
ventilation - Respiratory acidosis – Hypercarbia -
depressed level of consciousness
TENSION PNEUMOTHORAX:
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
• Pain – sharp, pleuritic pain
• Air hunger
• Respiratory distress
• Tachycardia
• Hypotension
• Tracheal deviation away from
the side of injury
• Unilateral absence of breath
sounds
• Neck vein distention- JVP
• Cyanosis (late manifestation)
PHYSICAL 1. Inspeksi: respiratory distress,
pengembangan dada asimetris
ASSESSMENT 2. Auskultasi: suara napas
bilateral, +/-
3. Palpasi: Deviasi trachea
Monitor:
Hypoxia (RR cepat/tachypnea)
Hypoxemia
Hypotension

Jika pasien tidak stabil


Pemeriksaan penunjang/Chest X-
Ray dapat ditunda
INTERVENTIONS
ABC
O2 Therapy : hindari
memberikan positive
pressure ventilation
Needle Decompressions
Chest tube/thorachostomy
PENETRATING INJURY:
OPEN PENUMOTHORAX/SUCKING CHEST WOUND

Large defects of
the chest wall that
remain open.
OPEN PNEUMOTHORAX: INTERVENTIONS
 Oxygen
 Occlusive Dressings
 SURGERY

Sucking Chest Wound

FLAIL CHEST
MORE THAN TWO FRACTURES IN ONE SEGMENT.

Sign and Symptoms:

 Tachipnea
 Paradoxal Breathing
 Hipoxia
 Pain
MASSIVE HEMOTHORAX
Accumulation of blood
and fluid in a
hemithorax,

Compromise
respiratory efforts by
compressing the lung
and preventing
adequate ventilation
CARDIAC TAMPONADE
CARDIAC TAMPONADE
CARDIAC TAMPONADE

SIGN AND SYMPTOMS INTERVENTIONS


BECK TRIAD:
1. JVP meninggi
2. Hipotensi
3. Suara jantung
menjauh
INTERVENTIONS PRIORITY
 Intubation , Ventilation,
 Chest Tube/Thoracostomy
 Fluid resuscitation, consider blood replacements
 Position : semi fowler if no contraindications
Nursing considerations:
Correct placement?
Monitor? LOC, Sat O2, Vital signs + pain scale, Urine output
Evaluation?
NURSING PROBLEMS

A: Airway clearance
B: Ineffective Breathing Pattern
Impaired Gas Exchange – Blood gases
C: Cardiac Output decreased
D: Activity intolerance, impaired mobility

Pain, Family distress/anxiety, death and grieving


CASE STUDY
A 27-year-old male was the unrestrained driver in a high-
speed, frontal-impact collision. He was drunk and found a
bottle of whisky in the car seat. Vital signs are: blood
pressure 90/70; heart rate 110; and respiratory rate 36.
Initial assessment reveals a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)
score of 15 and a patent airway. Pain Score 9 out of 10.
The patient has distended neck veins and a deviated
trachea with absent breath sounds on the right.
A needle has been placed in the second intercostal space,
at the midclavicular line in the right hemithorax.
Build your concept maps in group, you may add some
additional data.
