Abstract
Traumatic asphyxia is a rare condition caused by chest and trunk compression, manifested by symptoms such as cyanosis, subconjunctival haemorrhage and neurological manifestations and numerous petechiae in head and neck regions. Morbidity and mortality depend on cardiovascular and pulmonary complications and cranial injuries such as s and brain edema in these travmatik patients. Traumatic asphyxia treatment is aims to maintain adequate oxigenation of tissue and adequate tissue oxygenation and perfusion of the affected thoracal organs such as hemothorax, pneumothorax, and pulmonary contusion. In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary. A child patient was brought to our emergency department for the cause of the car traffic accident. We present this six-year-old children case with traumatic asphyxia after thoracoabdominal blunt trauma due to a traffic accident.
