摘要
Patients who have had blunt trauma chest after a road traffic accident present with a highly variable clinical picture and merit continued observation for any late development of the complications. At times an apparently stable patient may suddenly deteriorate necessitating immediate intervention to save his life. We present a case report of sudden blockage of airways with a blood clot in a blunt trauma victim, whose life was saved with quick intubation.
