contusions is hard to diagnose and can only be evaluated by the mechanism of injury (MOI) , such as obvious signs of chest wall trauma such as contusion, fractures or flail chest. “Crackles may be heard on auscultation but are rarely heard in the emergency room and are non-specific.” This contusion involves injury to alveolar capillaries, resulting in accumulation of blood and fluids within the lung tissue. This causes a V≉Q mismatch, increased intrapulmonary shunting, fluid shift and segmental lung

Re- evaluation saves lives- late evident spleenic injury Introduction There is a trimodal distribution of mortality due to trauma. Patient will die of catastrophic internal injuries within seconds to minutes. Secondly, it is the significant blood loss causing death within minutes to hours. Finally, death due to multi organ failure will take days to weeks. Management within first few hour of injury is critical.

Part 1 In the postoperative setting, anything could happen within a patient’s recovery process. The patient could have anything from adverse reactions, hemorrhaging, pain, infections, or to pulmonary embolisms, etc. This scholarly paper will focus specifically on pulmonary embolisms in the postoperative setting.
