Previous Episode: Episode 4 - Endpoints of Resuscitation
In this episode we review the "lethal 6" and "hidden 6" chest injuries that comprise the deadly dozen of thoracic trauma. Mechanism of injury together with vital signs and findings from the physical exam should provide us with the data needed to identify life-threatening thoracic injuries on our primary survey.
