Özet

Traumatic injuries range from simple to complicated multiple injuries. The identification of patients with critical injuries and disrupted organ perfusion is essential to prevent tissue hypoxia. A study estimated that a fast and accurate response to thoracic trauma should reduce the mortality by 30%.[1] The tissue perfusion value is an essential indicator of mortality and morbidity for patients admitted to the hospital with thoracic trauma. Thus, this study aimed to show the role of the perfusion index (PI) in predicting the prognosis of patients admitted to the emergency department for thoracic trauma.
