title: [Diagnosis of lung injury in combined chest trauma].
abstract: All the lung injuries in combined chest trauma were divided into direct (contused) and indirect (pulmonary complications). Contused injured of lungs were diagnosed in 178 (60.9%) patients with combined chest trauma. Among all contused pulmonary injuries, contusion of the lungs revealed in 141 (48.2%) patients had the most influence on traumatic disease. Criteria of diagnosis of pulmonary complications were defined. Based on the obtained results, classification of lung injuries in combined chest trauma was developed.
