Abstract
Pediatric thoracic trauma accounts for about 5-10% of injuries in children, but relative to other body symptoms, the mortality is relatively higher at 15-20%. Most thoracic injuries can be managed with supportive care including oxygen support, good analgesia, and possible tube thoracostomy. Surgical intervention is uncommon.
