Prediction of respiratory complications by quantifying lung contusion volume using chest computed tomography in patients with chest trauma

Abstract Pulmonary contusion is an important risk factor for respiratory complications in trauma patients. Hence, we aimed to determine the relationship between the ratio of pulmonary contusion volume to the total lung volume and patient outcomes and the predictability of respiratory complications....
