Okkulter und residueller Hämatothorax nach Thoraxtrauma – Empfehlungen der interdisziplinären Arbeitsgruppe Thoraxtrauma der Sektion NIS der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Unfallchirurgie (DGU) und der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Thoraxchirurgie (DGT)

Zusammenfassung

Der Versorgung okkulter und residueller Hämatothoraces (synonym retinierte/residuale Hämothoraces) stellt für die an der Polytraumaversorgung Beteiligten sowohl in Aspekten der Diagnostik als auch der Therapie eine wiederkehrende Herausforderung dar. Diese ergibt sich selten aus einer unmittelbaren Notfallsituation, sondern vielmehr daraus, wie mögliche Folgeerscheinungen eines Pleuraempyems und einer fixierten Lunge vermieden werden können. Die interdisziplinäre Arbeitsgruppe der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Thoraxchirurgie (DGT) und Deutschen Gesellschaft für Unfallchirurgie (DGU) zur Thoraxtraumaversorgung unterstützt die Ausarbeitung einer Empfehlung basierend auf einer umfassenden Literaturrecherche.

Abstract

The management of occult and retained haemothorax is challenging for all involved in the care of polytrauma patients in terms of diagnosis and treatment. The focus of decision making is preventing sequelae such as pleural empyema and avoiding a trapped lung. An interdisciplinary task force of the German Society for Thoracic Surgery (DGT) and the German Trauma Society (DGU) on thoracic trauma offers recommendations for post-trauma care of patients with occult and/or retained haemothorax, as based on a comprehensive literature review.
