Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Thoracic trauma is a significant cause of animal morbidity and mortality.
  • Effective emergency management is crucial for survival and recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the emergency management of various thoracic trauma types in horses.
  • To detail potential complications associated with chest injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Review of common thoracic trauma presentations in equine patients.
  • Discussion of immediate stabilization and treatment protocols.

Main Results:

  • Identified key thoracic trauma types: lacerations, penetrating wounds, flail chest, rib fractures, blunt trauma.
  • Highlighted potential sequelae: pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, hemothorax, pleuritis, fistulae, diaphragmatic hernia.
