title: [War injuries of the thorax].
abstract: Chest injuries are very common in war circumstances. Chest injury is commonly associated with other injuries of intrathoracic organs and development of shock, which has to be treated immediately. Our patients with war chest injuries are presented, along with our approach to the treatment of these injuries. "The conservative treatment" is stressed, with particularly importance of proper chest drainage, as a corner stone of proper and successful therapy. Shock treatment and prevention of atelectasis does present an unavoidable procedure of this type of therapy.
