چکیده
Early recognition of life-threatening or serious injury is the necessary precedent for the implementation of appropriate therapeutic intervention. In the population of foals beginning life in a pediatric intensive care setting, rib fractures can be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. This retrospective study describes the presentation, assessment, and care of foals with rib fractures, and documents the short-term outcome of hospitalized foals with this injury at the neonatal intensive care unit at Hagyard Davidson McGee, division of Internal Medicine, in the period 1997–2001.
