The One Chest Injury That’s Easy to Miss…

Sternal fractures typically occur from high mechanism of injury (MOI) events, most commonly blunt chest trauma such as motor vehicle collisions where the chest hits the steering wheel or from a fall with direct impact to the chest. These fractures can be painful and may cause difficulty breathing. While they often appear in isolation, they can also be associated with serious underlying injuries like cardiac contusions, pulmonary contusions, or spinal fractures, so a thorough assessment is critical. Look for chest wall tenderness, deformity, or crepitus. Be great, Evan, The Paramedic Coach #ems #emt #paramedic
