Abstract

Urgent diagnosis of the rupture of the aorta is emphasized. If deceleration is one of trauma factors and the chest Xray shows a widening of the mediastinum and/or a tracheal deviation towards the right, the diagnosis must be ascertained by angiography. If positive, the patient must be immediately transfered to a specialized surgical unit.
