AMAZING STRIDES in surgery of the chest constitute one of the outstanding American triumphs in As a result, the death rate from chest wounds has been cut to one-third of what it was in world war I
The death rate from chest wounds in world war I was 24 per cent. This refers, of course, to wounded men who were still alive when brought to a. battalion aid station and does not include men killed on the field of battle by chest wounds. In world war II the rate has been reduced -$e-8 per cent. Maj. Gen. Norman T. Kirk, the surgeon general of the army, points out that this is all the more remarkable because chest
wounds have been more serious in this war because of the increase in bomb fragments. However, a comparison of the statistics between the two world wars tells only part of the story. .of those who recovered from chest wounds in world war I were left- permanently misshapen with chests caved in or one shoulder dropped. Sometimes they suffered continued pain due to deformities or had - so little lung tissue left that they were permanent invalids with shortened lives.
Many Return to Duty NOW ALMOST all of the soldiers with chest wounds are recovering with robust chests, Gen Kirk A good many even return to combat duty and. almost all of them will be able to indulge in normal peacetime activities. There is only an occasional slight loss of symmetry
