Trauma constitutes one of the main challenges in terms of public health in the world. According to the WHO, it causes about five million deaths per year, chest trauma is one of the most frequently occurring injuries, reporting up to 90-96% of penetrating injuries with mortality close to 30%.
Thoracostomy is a procedure frequently performed in the emergency department, however, it is a painful and uncomfortable procedure, and there could be difficulties while it is done.
It is required to find the available information about how safe a thoracostomy is under sedation is and determine its usefulness in the emergency department; learning the levels of sedation, and depending of the procedure the patient needs, determine the level of sedation the patient has to induced into.
The use of medications for analgesia and sedation in the emergency room is aimed to the effective and safe control of pain and anxiety as well as to avoid movements of the patient to reduce complications. This review considers medications such as ketamine, propofol, morphine, hydromorphone, fentanyl, etomidate, midazolam and the best combinations of these medications to carry out sedation for emergency thoracostomy. However, there is not a therapeutic strategy applicable to all patients, therefore each patient has to be analyzed individually.
