<h2 style="”font-size:" 24px;”>What is a thoracic trauma kit?</h2>
<p>A thoracic trauma kit is a disposable instrument set used in the initial treatment of severe chest injuries, such as in trauma in the emergency room or prehospital field. The set contains the instruments needed to quickly access the pleural cavity, drain blood or air, and thus stabilise vital signs.</p>
<h2 style="”font-size:" 24px;”>Applications in practice</h2>
<p>Thorax trauma kits are used in emergency departments, ambulance services, military settings and intensive care units. They are used in indications such as tension pneumothorax, haemothorax, open chest injury or multiple rib fractures with respiratory insufficiency. The sets enable rapid and effective intervention with minimum preparation.</p>
