Traumatic Rupture of the Bronchus

R. B. Lynn M.D., F.C.C.P.1 and K. Iyeugar M.D.1

1 Sub-Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, Kingston General Hospital and Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada

Traumatic rupture of the bronchus after blunt injury to the chest is an uncommon injury. Early repair of the bronchus will ensure a good anatomic result and almost complete return of pulmonary function. Delayed repair impedes recovery of lung function and exposes the patient to irreversible pulmonary suppuration and ultimately resection.
