Background:
The purpose of the current study was to investigate the most effective diagnostic method and the effect of surgical treatment on traumatic main bronchial rupture.
Methods:
Chest X-rays, CT and fiberoptic bronchoscopy were the main means used to confirm the diagnosis. Surgery was performed as early as possible.
Results:
Pneumonectomy was performed in 1 patient. Bronchial end-to-end anastomosis was performed in 10 patients whose lungs were well ventilated, and lung function recovered.
Conclusion:
Main bronchial rupture occurs relatively rarely. Early diagnosis and operative intervention can save lives.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management
Pneumonia V: Nursing management and Prevention
The nurse must practice strict medical asepsis and adhere to infection control guidelines to minimize healthcare-associated infections.
Enhance airway patency
Position the patient correctly to facilitate drainage of the affected lung segments. Manual or mechanical percussion and vibration can also be employed.
Pneumothorax-I
Pneumothorax can be even further classified as spontaneous, traumatic, and tension pneumothorax.
