Abstract
|
|
|
|
About 5% of burn patients come with other injuries. When pa-tients with multiple rib fractures are put under general anes-thesia, there is a higher rate of a variety of complications, such as hemothorax, pneumothorax, lung contusion, and etc. Also, symptoms of the complications are likely to get worse. Therefore, it is important to decide when it is appropriate to perform surgery. Our hospital delayed operation time on two burn patients who had multiple rib fractures and then per-formed surgery under general anesthesia, treating patients without any particular complications
