  • Title: A conservative approach to penetrating injuries of the chest. Experience with 131 successive cases.
    Author: Hegarty MM.
    Journal: Injury; 1976 Aug; 8(1):53-9. PubMed ID: 1002277.
    Abstract:
    One hundred and thirty-one cases of penetrating injuries of the chest were reviewed prospectively. A policy of conservative management is advocated, based on the intercostal drainage of moderate or large collections of fluid and/or air. The site of the intercostal drain is not an important factor in the management.
