September 19, 2012 The Trauma Manual: Trauma and Acute Care Surgery ii Subclavian artery a) Presentation Superior mediastinal hematoma or neck hematoma Proximal injuries can present with massive left hemothorax b) Exposure The proximal subclavian artery is accessed by a median sternotomy An infra- or supraclavicular extension is used to gain distal control with or without removal of the clavicle c) Technique Primary repair or interposition graft with PTFE If possible based on patient stability, an endovascular stent is an excellent option iii Pulmonary hilum a) Presentation Massive hemothorax on the side of injury b) Exposure Anterolateral thoracotomy on the side of injury Control can also be gained initially through a median sternotomy c) Technique Control of hilar hemorrhage can be accomplished initially by manual compression Quick dissection of the inferior pulmonary ligament aids in the isolation and identification of the bleeding site Exsanguinating hemorrhage can then be definitively stopped by placing a clamp across the entire hilum 1) Intrapericardial control of hilar vessels is used for proximal injury to the pulmonary artery or vein, if necessary Primary repair is desirable; however, lobectomy should be considered early if bleeding is not easily controlled 2) With the advent of stapled pulmonary tractotomy and stapled pneumonectomy, approximately 85% of pulmonary injuries will be spared resection 3) Pneumonectomy is rarely required to stop hilar bleeding and carries high postoperative morbidity and mortality iv Intercostal arteries a) Presentation Hemothorax or subcutaneous hematoma b) Exposure Thoracotomy on the side of injury c) Technique Simple ligation proximal and distal to the injury v Internal mammary artery a) Presentation Hemothorax, superior or middle mediastinal hematoma b) Exposure Median sternotomy or anterolateral thoracotomy c) Technique Simple ligation proximal and distal to the injury Bilateral internal mammary artery ligation can be performed safely in most patients vi Azygos and hemiazygos veins a) Presentation Hemothorax b) Exposure Thoracotomy on the side of hemothorax c) Technique Suture ligation proximal and distal to injury Take care to avoid inadvertent injury to the thoracic duct on the left Diaphragmatic injury a Blunt trauma Diaphragmatic injury from blunt forces is classically large, radial, and located posterolaterally The left hemidiaphragm is involved in 65% to 80% of cases Diaphragmatic ruptures are markers for associated intraabdominal injuries b Penetrating trauma Wounds are smaller but tend to enlarge over time Left-sided injuries still predominate These injuries required operative repair when diagnosed as they not heal spontaneously and can produce herniation or strangulation of hollow viscera as late sequelae c Diagnosis i Diagnosis can be difficult; therefore, a high index of suspicion based on mechanism is required a) Rapid deceleration or direct crush to the upper abdomen b) Severe chest trauma, lower rib fractures c) Penetrating injuries to the chest and upper abdomen 19:32 P1: Trim: 5.25in × 8.375in LWBK1111-28 Top: 0.249in LWW-Peitzman-educational Gutter: 0.498in September 19, 2012 Chapter 28 r Thoracic Injuries 343 ii CXR is diagnostic in only 25% to 50% of cases of blunt trauma Possible findings include: a) Hemidiaphragmatic elevation or lower lobe atelectasis b) Nasogastric tube in left hemithorax c) Stomach, colon, or small bowel herniated into chest d) In penetrating trauma and small defects, the diaphragm appears normal e) Positive pressure can tamponade visceral herniation and make the CXR appear normal After extubation, herniation may become apparent on CXR iii Right hemidiaphragm tears are less likely to be diagnosed by CXR because of the presence of the liver in the defect iv CT scan may miss diaphragmatic injury in the absence of gross hollow visceral herniation v Diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL) yields false-negative results in 25% to 34% of diaphragmatic injuries If an ipsilateral chest tube is present, DPL fluid may be observed exiting the chest tube, although this finding is rare vi Direct visualization of the injury by laparotomy, laparoscopy, or thoracoscopy remains the standard for diagnosis d Treatment i Diaphragmatic tears require repair ii Acute repair is accomplished via laparotomy, in most cases, with nonabsorbable, interrupted horizontal mattress sutures iii Thoracotomy may be needed to reduce large defects in chronic herniation iv Prosthetic material or flaps are rarely needed to close the defect v The mortality rate is 25% to 40% because of the severity of associated injuries Esophageal injury a Most injuries result from penetrating trauma Blunt injury is rare (50% Sternal fractures Of these, 40% will have associated rib fractures and 25% will have associated long-bone injury Fractures of ribs to a The main clinical issues are pain and restriction of ventilation with impair- ment of both static and dynamic compliances b Search for pulmonary contusion and BCI c Provide adequate pain relief by epidural anesthesia, PCA, or intercostal nerve blocks Fractures of ribs to 12 A 10% risk exists of associated hepatic (right- sided fractures), and a 20% risk of splenic (left-sided fractures), or renal injuries VII EMERGENCY THORACIC PROCEDURES A Tube thoracostomy (Fig 28-6) The usual insertion site is the fifth intercostal space at the anterior to mid-axillary line Identify the space between the pectoralis major anteriorly and the latissimus dorsi posteriorly (Fig 28-6A) Do not insert tubes through traumatic wounds Use a large caliber chest tube (≥36 to 40 Fr) to ensure adequate drainage of the pleural space Administer a single dose of prophylactic antibiotics such as cefazolin or cefoxitin Prepare and drape the chest Anesthetize the site locally with 1% lidocaine (10 to 20 mL), including the skin, periosteum, subpleural space, and pleura Except under the most life-threatening circumstances, proper local anesthesia must be used to minimize patient discomfort Commence with to cm horizontal skin incision below the selected interspace and continue the incision down to the chest wall (Fig 28-6B) With a large curved Kelly clamp, carefully puncture the parietal pleura just above the rib, avoiding the neurovascular bundle coursing along the inferior border Spread the intercostal muscles Remove the clamp and insert a finger into the pleural space to confirm appropriate position and to clear any adhesions that may be present (Fig 28-6C) Use the clamp or a finger as a guide to advance and position the tube into the pleural space Guide the tube posteriorly and toward the apex of the pleural space (Fig 28-6D–F) If correctly placed, the tube should “fog” with expiration After placement, run a finger along the tube to confirm proper placement Confirm that all of the holes are within the pleural space Rotating the tube 360 degrees ensures that it is not kinked in the chest 10 Connect the tube to an underwater-seal apparatus and apply at 20 cm of water suction For known hemothoraces, use an autotransfusion reservoir 11 Secure tube with 0-silk sutures Tape all tube connections to prevent separation 12 Obtain a CXR to confirm proper placement B Pericardiocentesis (Fig 28-7) Indications 19:32 P1: Trim: 5.25in × 8.375in LWBK1111-28 346 Top: 0.249in

(continued ) a Acute distension of the pericardial sac with as little as 75 to 100 mL of blood can produce cardiac tamponade Withdrawal of this fluid is lifesaving However, it is difficult to aspirate fluid, especially if it accumulates posteriorly Similarly, clot cannot be aspirated b When used for diagnosis, pericardiocentesis can produce false-negative results in 50% to 60% of cases because of pericardial blood clotting or needle misplacement c In acute cardiac tamponade, pericardiocentesis can be used as a temporizing maneuver until definitive pericardiotomy is possible d Pericardiocentesis is rarely indicated in a level I trauma center Technique a A 16 or 18 gauge long (6 ) needle is connected to a 30 mL syringe The needle is introduced at the left xiphisternal junction (Larrey’s point) and directed toward the left shoulder and at a 45-degree angle to the skin Back pressure is placed on the plunger of the syringe as the needle is advanced b Blood (30 mL) is withdrawn and the clinical situation is reassessed If no improvement is noted, aspiration is repeated 19:32 P1: Trim: 5.25in × 8.375in LWBK1111-28 Top: 0.249in Gutter: 0.498in LWW-Peitzman-educational September 19, 2012 Chapter 28 r Thoracic Injuries 347 Figure 28-6 (Continued ) Complications a Iatrogenic coronary artery injury, myocardial laceration, pneumothorax, hemothorax, and mediastinal hematoma can occur b False-positive return can occur when the ventricle or a hemothorax is inad- vertently entered C Pericardial window (Fig 28-8) Sub-xiphoid pericardial window should be considered in the patient who is at risk of cardiac injury but who has maintained adequate vital signs As mentioned, pericardial tamponade is rapidly fatal If the patient is in extremis or hypotensive, prompt left anterolateral thoracotomy is indicated However, in a more stable patient with a parasternal penetrating wound suggestive of possible cardiac injury, a sub-xiphoid pericardial window is safer and more definitive than pericardiocentesis Technique a Sub-xiphoid pericardial window is performed in the OR under general anesthesia b Prepare the patient from chin to midthighs before induction of general anesthesia in anticipation of acute hemodynamic decompensation c A 10 cm incision is made over the xiphoid process and extend cephalad and caudal the upper midline of the abdomen 19:32 P1: Trim: 5.25in × 8.375in LWBK1111-28 348 Top: 0.249in Gutter: 0.498in LWW-Peitzman-educational September 19, 2012 The Trauma Manual: Trauma and Acute Care Surgery Figure 28-7 Pericardiocentesis (From Rich NM, Spencer FC Vascular Trauma Philadelphia, PA: WB Saunders; 1978:409, with permission.)

Stay in the center of the sternum to avoid injury to the costal cartilages and entry into either hemithorax d Bone wax may be required for cancellous bone bleeding e To facilitate exposure of the great vessels, this incision can be extended laterally into the neck, dividing sternocleidomastoid, platysma, strap, and anterior scalene muscles (protecting the phrenic nerve) f Further exposure of the second and third portions of the subclavian vessels can be enhanced by resection or division of the clavicle g Extension into the abdomen with a midline incision is easily accomplished F Left anterolateral thoracotomy Advantage Permits rapid access to the chest, especially for decompression of pericardial tamponade and for repair of the heart, left lung and hilum, or aorta This can be extended across the sternum (bilateral or clamshell thoracotomy) to access the right chest Left anterolateral thoracotomy is the best initial operative approach for unstable patients requiring resuscitation or when the location of the intrathoracic injury is unclear Disadvantage Poor access to the posterior mediastinum, distal subclavian vessels, and right chest Technique a The left arm should be fully extended over the patient’s head to provide extension of the incision on the posterior chest wall b An incision is made in the fifth intercostal space, from the sternal edge to the scapula c The muscles of the anterior chest wall are divided with electrocautery and the intercostal muscles are also sharply transected while avoiding injury to the neurovascular bundle d A Finochietto rib retractor is inserted with the “T” bar toward the back and opened widely e A thoracoabdominal incision can be carried out by performing a midline laparotomy We not recommend costal margin transection G Left or right posterolateral thoracotomy Advantages Provides excellent access to the hemithorax The left posterolateral thoracotomy permits access to the aorta and proximal left subclavian artery, the left lung, the left chest wall, and the distal esophagus The right posterolateral thoracotomy provides access to the trachea, the right lung, the right chest wall, and the proximal esophagus Disadvantages The lateral position for the posterolateral thoracotomy is time consuming and leaves little flexibility in gaining access to opposite hemithorax or abdominal structures, thus injuries elsewhere cannot be accessed Technique a Use the standard skin incision for elective thoracic surgery By varying the interspace entered, all regions of the thoracic cavity can be exposed 19:32 P1: Trim: 5.25in × 8.375in LWBK1111-28 354 Top: 0.249in Gutter: 0.498in LWW-Peitzman-educational September 19, 2012 The Trauma Manual: Trauma and Acute Care Surgery Figure 28-12 Position for an urgent right posterolateral thoracotomy (From Champion HR, Robbs JV, Trunkey DD Trauma surgery (parts and 2) In: Dudley H, Carter D, Russell RCG, eds Rob and Smith’s Operative Surgery London: Butterworth; 1989:273, with permission.) b The patient is placed in full lateral decubitus position with the upper arm supported over the head, the lower arm extended and padded with an axillary roll, the lower leg is flexed, and the upper leg extended with padding between the knees The pelvis should be secured with adhesive tape and a sandbag (Fig 28-12) c Using the tip of the scapula as a landmark, the muscles of the lateral chest wall are divided down to and including the intercostal muscles In more stable patients requiring less exposure, sparing of the latissimus dorsi muscle is possible H Bilateral thoracotomy (clamshell thoracotomy) (Fig 28-13) Advantage Permits wide exposure to all structures in the chest Best incision for patients with multiple gunshot wounds that violate both pleural spaces, bilateral hemothoraces, and superior mediastinal hematomas Disadvantage Large incision, extensive heat loss from wound, both internal mammary arteries are ligated Technique After the anterolateral thoracotomy, the sternum is divided transversely with heavy scissors, Lebsche knife, or sternal saw The sternal incision is opened with a Finochietto rib retractor The incision is extended through the fifth interspace as far into the contralateral chest as possible a Care is taken to ligate the internal mammary arteries on each side of the sternum Often these arteries will start to hemorrhage heavily with successful resuscitation and return of an adequate blood pressure 19:32 P1: Trim: 5.25in × 8.375in LWBK1111-28 Top: 0.249in LWW-Peitzman-educational Gutter: 0.498in September 19, 2012 Chapter 28 r Thoracic Injuries 355 Figure 28-13 A view into the chest during a bilateral “clamshell” thoracotomy Note the excellent exposure of the heart and great vessels (Adapted from Moore EE, Eiseman B, Van Way CW Critical Decisions in Trauma St Louis, MO: Mosby; 1984:528, with permission.)
