Gas exchange, coughing, and clearance of secretions may all become impaired, therefore vigilant respiratory care must be managed with flail chest and rib fractures. With severe hypoxemia and hypercarbia, intubation and mechanically ventilated with positive end-expiratory pressure, also known as PEEP may be required (Ignatavicius & Workman…
