Abstract

Trauma is the leading cause of death in persons younger than 44 years of age and is the fourth leading cause of death overall [1]. Approximately 140,000 trauma-related deaths occur in the United States annually. Chest trauma is the cause of death in up to one-fourth of patients with multiple-systems trauma.
