  • Title: Anesthesia in chest trauma: implications for critical care.
    Author: Moore LE, Hurn PD.
    Journal: Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am; 1993 Dec; 5(4):697-711. PubMed ID: 8297558.
    Abstract:
    This article outlines some of the concerns and considerations in the anesthetic management of critically ill patients with chest trauma during their initial resuscitation and intraoperative course. The management decisions made during this critical period have clear implications for patient care once the patient arrives in the intensive care unit. It is the goal of this article to outline the rationale for these management decisions in order to facilitate the transfer of the patient from the operating room or trauma bay to the intensive care unit and allow the critical care nurse to establish effectively the expectations for postoperative recovery.
