Abstract

We present three cases of traumatic asphyxia after thoracic compression. All victims were Caucasian males aged 22–50 years. One man was crushed by a truck trailer, another was crushed by an overturned vehicle, and the last was crushed by a large heavy stone slab. None of the patients survived the accident. There was no evidence of trauma or only minor trauma from the bones or vital organs of the thoracic cavity and abdomen.

意外压迫胸壁。主要原因是机械性窒息而非外伤

我们介绍了三例胸部受压后创伤性窒息的病例。所有受害者均为白种男性，年龄在 22-50 岁之间。其中一人被卡车拖车压住，另一人被翻倒的车辆压住，最后一人被一块巨大的重型石板压住。事故中无一幸免。胸腔和腹部的骨骼或重要器官没有外伤痕迹或仅有轻微外伤。
