Reduced rates of pneumonia after implementation of an electronic checklist for the management of patients with multiple rib fractures at a Level One Trauma Center.

Background: Traumatic rib fractures are associated with increased morbidity and mortality, with complications including pneumothorax, difficult to control pain, and pneumonia. Use of a bundled, multi-disciplinary approach to the care of patients with multiple rib fractures has been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality. In this study, we investigate the implementation of a checklist for the multidisciplinary management of patients with multiple rib fractures who present to an urban, level 1 trauma center and safety-net hospital.
