What are the treatments for a patient suffering a pulmonary contusion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pulmonary Contusion: Managment of pulmonary contusion is supportive while the pulmonary contusion resolves. Most contusions will require no specific therapy. However large contusions may affect gas exchange and result in hypoxaemia. As the physiological impact of the ocntusions tends to develop over 24-48 hours, close monitoring is required and supplemental oxygen should be administered.
