Abstract
Cmputed tomography (CT) is always more precise than chest x-ray for evaluating pulmonary contusions and other forms of lung trauma. CT is also valuable in guiding treatment for patients who have pulmonary contusions. As demonstrated by two case studies, not all sports-related pulmonary contusions are minor. Supportive treatment usually consists of maintaining the patients oxygenation, treating associated injuries, and preventing complications. Verf.-Referat
