<td>• All should receive CXR after primary trauma survey<br>- Widened mediastinum or abnormal aortic contour are concerning for aortic injury or esophageal rupture<br>- Hemothorax may also be a sign<br><br>• Esophageal rupture = widened mediastinum, crepitus, pleural effusion with yellow/green fluid and high amylase<br><br>Bronchial rupture = persistent, large air leak into chest tube, pneumothorax accumulation, subcutaneous emphysema <br>• Bronchoscopy provides definitive diagnosis as high-resolution CT scan may miss small tears --> operative repair<br><br>• Myocardial contusion = main risk is arrhythmias --> EKG and Tn<br>• Massive hemoptysis should be evaluated by bronchoscopy = diagnostic and therapeutic</td>
