Abstract

This paper provides a guideline for the management of prehospital chest injuries after a consensus meeting held by the Faculty of Prehospital Care, Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK, in January 2005. An overview of the prehospital assessment, diagnosis and interventions for life threatening chest injury are discussed, with the application of skills depending on the training, experience and competence of the individual practitioner.
