Background & Aim: Over the past ten years, the fast development of Dubai city required establishment of dedicated trauma center. The increasing number of work related injuries and road traffic accidents has increased the number of patients received by Rashid Trauma Center. The purpose of this study is to describe the experience of our center in dealing with chest trauma and to highlight recent updates in the management strategy. Methodology: We have analyzed more than 4000 chest trauma cases who presented to Rashid Trauma center between 20062016, demographically, clinically and radiologically. We have established a protocol for managing blunt and penetrating trauma cases; we analyzed associated injuries as well as morbidities and mortalities. Findings: The Mortality rate in isolated thoracic injuries depends on the anatomical site and Injury severity score. We found that majority of our thoracic trauma was part of polytrauma cases. Conclusion & Significance: Thoracic trauma is a common and usually associated with other body injuries. Early diagnosis and management in specialized trauma center with multi-disciplinary team is vital for favorable outcome. Recommendations: Recent update in management of chest trauma cases time and make intervention less invasive with better survival. References 1.
