Auto accidents can be violent, sometimes involving blunt force trauma to the occupants of the vehicles. When trauma to the chest occurs in an auto accident, it can lead to a number of internal injuries, like a fractured rib or a damaged lung. A fractured rib or other protrusion into the chest cavity can puncture a lung.
When the lung is punctured, it releases air into the chest cavity, causing the lung to deflate and collapse under the pressure. If a punctured lung is left untreated, it can eventually result in a collapsed lung. Punctured and collapsed lung injuries after an Atlanta car crash can range in severity.
Sometimes the injured person can heal almost entirely and have no complications; however, there are victims that have died as a result of lung injuries.
Symptoms of a punctured lung can include:
If you experience shortness of breath, increased heart rate, weak pulse, a cough, fever, low blood pressure, fatigue, or find yourself looking bluish in color after an Atlanta auto collision, it is important to get medical treatment immediately.
