ABSTRACT

The pneumothorax is relatively common entities in patients with multiple injuries. Its diagnosis usually requires a clinical examination and judicious support desk studies. The ultrasound is one of these studies supports that every day has made its way into the approach to these patients. The following is a job opportunity in a patient with chest trauma.
