Patients with rib fractures are prone to pulmonary complications, so these patients need to pay attention to the following aspects: 1. Patients should rest in bed at the beginning of the fracture and avoid chest movements to prevent fracture displacement; 2. Encourage and assist patients to cough and excrete sputum to prevent pneumonia, pulmonary atelectasis or respiratory insufficiency; 3. Rib fractures are often accompanied by thoracic hemorrhage and effusion, and patients exhibit a lot of sputum, which must be treated with anti-inflammatory treatment to avoid pulmonary infection caused by chest hemorrhage; 4, must promptly get out of bed, even if painful, must also get down to the ground as soon as possible, because late down to the ground is very easy to occur venous thrombosis; 5, the rehabilitation period patients should strengthen functional exercise to maximize the recovery of rib function, and need to regularly review the hospital to assess the recovery.
