Disease: Lung Contusion
Symptoms: Chest pain (sharp or dull), difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, rapid or shallow breathing, coughing up blood or pink-tinged sputum, decreased oxygen levels, wheezing, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin), chest wall bruising, rib fractures (associated injuries)
Treatments: Supportive care (including supplemental oxygen, pain management, and respiratory support), monitoring in a hospital setting (to assess lung function and overall stability), treatment of associated injuries (such as rib fractures), management of complications (such as pneumonia or respiratory failure), prevention of further complications (such as deep vein thrombosis or pressure ulcers), respiratory therapy (including breathing exercises and airway clearance techniques), possible use of mechanical ventilation in severe cases
