Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate some injury characteristics of patients with penetrating chest trauma treated at Military Hospital 103. Methods: A retrospective, prospective, descriptive, and uncontrolled study was conducted on 47 patients with penetrating chest trauma at Military Hospital 103 from January 2021 to May 2025. Results: With a total of 47 patients, the average age was 31.6 ± 12.2 years, ranging from 14 - 58 years old; male patients accounted for 97.9%. There were 55.3% of patients who had not received any first aid before arriving at the hospital, including 6 cases in shock. The majority (91.5%) of injuries were caused by bladed weapons, including 3 cases of suicide. There were 14 cases (29.7%) related to high blood alcohol test. The wounds were mainly on the left side (80.9%), resulting in various injuries, with lungs and pleura being the most commonly affected organs. Conclusion: Penetrating chest trauma is mainly caused by bladed weapons, mostly occurring in working-age men, many cases are related to high blood alcohol levels. Computed tomography is a highly accurate test in diagnosing injuries. Injuries from penetrating chest trauma are very diverse, with lungs and pleura being the most commonly injured organs.
