Summary

Efficacy of Lung ultrasound in monitoring fluid resuscitation in chest trauma patients with lung contusions

Detailed description

Trauma is a public health problem, associated to high morbidity and mortality, In Egypt the mortality from road traffic crashes is about 12000 victims per year. * Chest trauma represents from 10% to 15% of the total number of traumas worldwide. According to ATLS protocol , early diagnosis and management of Chest trauma are essential. \*Pulmonary contusion is found in 30-75% of cases of chest injury. * point of care Ultrasound (POCUS) is Now a corner stone in Emergency management it can predict lung contusions within the first 72 hours after trauma. * Recently, LUS Play a major role in assessment of the volume status in Trauma patients. * B-lines score (BLS) has been validated as a lung ultrasound quantification of pulmonary congestion.The sum of all B-lines yields a score, B-lines score (BLS), which assess the degree of lung contusion. So that LUS may provide a valuable safety threshold to conduct fluid therapy.
