[Prognosis and prevention of post-traumatic pneumonia in closed thoracic injuries].
The authors elaborated the criteria of prognosticating the development of posttraumatic pneumonia on the basis of diagnostic information (clinical, radiological, endoscopic findings) gained in the first hours after hospitalization of patients with closed chest trauma, and compiled a prognostic table by means of which the probability of the development of pneumonia was appraised in 236 patients. Individual clinical prognostication allowed opportune and differentiated application of a complex of special therapeutic and preventive measures including, along with the traditional methods, the use of the possibilities of therapeutic endoscopy, modern antibacterial, physiotherapeutic, and immunocorrective treatment. The applied tactics made it possible to reduce posttraumatic pneumonia incidence and achieve its favourable course in most patients.
