title: [Thoracic and abdominal lesions in multiple injuries. Study of 168 cases. Remarks on problems posed by assessment of the lesions].
abstract: A statistical study of 168 cases of multiple injury observed by the authors, showed the importance of lesions of the trunk with 65 p. 100 thoracic and 73 p. 100 abdominal injuries. All cases ofmultiple injury with thoracic or abdominal injuries require early, complete assessment. This emergency assessment is perfectible by using a planned approach to these cases and the application of certain methods of investigation. The authors propose three organigrams in order to define the best management for cases with thoracic, abdominal or urinary injuries.
