Seventy-two cases of diffuse pulmonary contusion, 50 of which concerned multiple injury patients, are retrospectively described. The pleuro-parietal and associated lesions, the clinical, radiological and laboratory findings and the extent of the damage are analyzed. Treatment of shock (50 cases), mechanical ventilation (51 cases), thoracotomy (7 cases) and surgery of associated lesions are studied. Morbidity and mortality (34.7%) are detailed. The nosology of pulmonary contusion is discussed in relation to several factors, including shock, perfusions and associated lesions. The principles of treatment are restated. The most important complication is pulmonary superinfection. Diffuse pulmonary contusion is a serious condition. Associated lesions and their treatment contribute to its outcome.
