  • Title: [Diagnosis of traumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta. Apropos of a series of 15 observations].
    Author: Gschaedler R, Loeb JP, Huber B, Peter R, Mole JP, Dro P.
    Journal: Anesth Analg (Paris); 1978; 35(1):55-66. PubMed ID: 677501.
    Abstract:
    Urgent diagnosis of the rupture of the aorta is emphasized. If deceleration is one of trauma factors and the chest Xray shows a widening of the mediastinum and/or a tracheal deviation towards the right, the diagnosis must be ascertained by angiography. If positive, the patient must be immediately transfered to a specialized surgical unit.
