Crushing injuries involving thorax with abdomen, lower back and pelvis - what does this mean

Crushing injuries involving the thorax with the abdomen, lower back and pelvis occur when a person is subjected to a tremendous amount of force, such as a car accident or a fall from a great height. this force causes the ribs, spine, and pelvic bones to be compressed, resulting in fractures, organ damage, and internal bleeding.

What happens during the disease - crushing injuries involving thorax with abdomen, lower back and pelvis

Crushing injuries involving thorax with abdomen, lower back and pelvis can cause severe trauma to the body, including fractures, lacerations, and internal organ damage. the force of the crush can cause compression of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis, leading to disruption of the blood vessels and nerves in these areas, as well as compression of the lungs and other organs. this can cause severe pain, shock, and even death due to the loss of blood and oxygen supply to the affected areas.
