  • Title: [Respiratory monitoring and high frequence jet ventilation (HFJV) in the treatment of severe chest injuries].
    Author: Deng Y, Luo X, Zeng J, Xiao G, Tang A.
    Journal: Hunan Yi Ke Da Xue Xue Bao; 1997; 22(6):521-2, 526. PubMed ID: 10072996.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-eight patients with severe chest injuries were classified into 3 groups: fractures of rib, hemopneumothorax and lung injured. Their respiratory rate (RR), SpO2 and blood gas were analysed. The results showed that SpO2 and PaO2 in lung-injured group were the lowest and RR was the highest in the 3 groups. After HFJV, there was a significant rise in PaO2 and SpO2 (P < 0.05) and a gradual recovery of respiratory and pulse rates in lung-injured group. The results suggest that respiratory monitoring is important for patients with chest injuries and HFJV may be used as an effective ventilation method for treating patients with severe chest injuries.
