Many intensive care unit (ICU) patients with multiple traumatic injuries are susceptible to pulmonary contusion. A pulmonary contusion is an injury to the lung which is a common result after a blunt chest trauma from incidents such as vehicular accidents and assaults or after penetrating chest trauma from explosions or shock waves (Ganie et al‚ 2013). Also‚ although it is more commonly associated with chest traumas such as pneumothorax‚ rib fractures or hemothorax‚ pulmonary contusion is also related
