Trauma is one of the main causes of death in the whole world, and thoracic injuries are present in approximately two-thirds of trauma patients [1]. Thoracic trauma corresponds to up to 35% of trauma-related deaths in the United States (US) [2]. Despite these considerable numbers, only 10% of blunt trauma and 15–30% of penetrating trauma necessitate surgical intervention, and 85% of all trauma-related thoracic injuries can be treated with tube thoracostomy alone. Most patients can be managed by applying the fundamental principles of Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) [3, 4].
