Chapter 14

Since the chest, abdomen, and pelvis contain many organs important to life, injury to these areas can be fatal. Chest injuries are a leading cause of trauma deaths each year. Common types of injuries include rib fractures and puncture wounds. Rib fractures are usually caused by a direct force to the chest, but are rarely life threatening.

Chest wounds are either open or closed. Signals of serious chest injury include—  Trouble breathing.  Severe pain.  Flushed, pale, ashen or bluish skin.  Deformity.  Coughing up blood.  Bruising at the site of a blunt injury.  A distinctive “sucking” sound as the person breathes

 Call  Position the victim to aid breathing.  If ribs are broken, bind the victim’s upper arm to the chest.  Use a pillow or rolled blanket to support and immobilize the area.  If a sucking chest sound is evident, cover the wound with dressing.

The abdomen is the area immediately under the chest and above the pelvis. Signals of serious abdominal injury include— Severe pain. Bruising. External bleeding. Nausea. Vomiting (sometimes containing blood). Weakness. Thirst. Pain, tenderness or tight feeling in the abdomen. Organs protruding from the abdomen.

If the injury involves an OPEN wound—  Call  Carefully position the victim on their back.  Don’t apply direct pressure.  Don’t push protruding organs back in.  Remove clothing from around the wound.  Apply moist, sterile dressings.  Cover the wound with dressing.  Cover dressings to maintain warmth.

If the injury involves a CLOSED wound—  Call  Carefully position the victim on their back unless you suspect injury to the head, neck or back.  Bend the victim’s knees slightly.  Place rolled-up pillows or blankets under the knees for support.  Monitor breathing, skin color and temperature until EMS personnel arrive.

The pelvis is the lower part of the trunk. The pelvis contains the bladder, reproductive organs and part of the large intestine, including the rectum. An injury to the pelvis sometimes involves the genitals, the external reproductive organs.

Signals of pelvic injury are the same as those for an abdominal injury.

 Call  Do not move the victim unless necessary.  Control external bleeding.  Cover any protruding organs.  Care for a closed wound to the genitals as you would any closed wound. If the genitalia has an open wound, apply a sterile dressing and control bleeding with direct pressure
