1 Chapter 21 Flail Chest 1

2 Figure Flail chest. Double fractures of three or more adjacent ribs produce instability of the chest wall and paradoxical motion of the thorax. Inset, Atelectasis, a common secondary anatomic alteration of the lungs. 2

3 Anatomic Alterations of the Lungs Double fracture of numerous adjacent ribs Rib instability Lung restriction Atelectasis Lung collapse (pneumothorax) Lung contusion Secondary pneumonia 3

4 Etiology Motor vehicle accident Falls Blast injury Direct compression by a heavy object Industrial accident 4

5 Overview of the Cardiopulmonary Clinical Manifestations Associated with Flail Chest The following clinical manifestations result from the pathophysiologic mechanisms caused (or activated) by Atelectasis Pneumonic consolidation 5

8 Clinical Data Obtained at the Patient s Bedside 8

9 The Physical Examination Vital Signs Increased respiratory rate (tachypnea) Tachypnea occurs because of the following: Stimulation of peripheral chemoreceptors (hypoxemia) Paradoxical movement of chest wall see Figure 21-2 and Figure

10 The Physical Examination (Cont d) Vital Signs (Cont d) Decreased lung compliance/increased ventilatory rate relationship Activation of the deflation receptors Activation of the irritant receptors Stimulation of the J receptors Pain/anxiety 10

11 Figure Lateral flail chest with accompanying pendelluft. 11

12 Figure Venous admixture in flail chest. 12

13 The Physical Examination Vital Signs (Cont d) Increased Heart rate (pulse) Blood pressure 13

14 The Physical Examination Cyanosis Chest Assessment Findings Diminished breath sounds on both the affected and the unaffected sides 14
