The treatment consisted of maintaining the patients hemodynamic status so that patients with imminent death in the emergency service should undergo resuscitation thoracotomy unstable patients should undergo emergency thoracotomy After a brief clinical diagnostic evaluation while stable patients benefit from further investigation and in up to 60 of the cases do not require a surgical approach.
