Many complications may occur after chest trauma, including rib fracture, pneumothorax, hemothorax, lung contusion, flail chest, atelectasis, respiratory failure and even death. Atelectasis is the most common of these complications. This study planned to investigate the effects of spirometry and deep breathing exercises on oxygenation after rib fracture.
