Thoracic trauma confers significant morbidity and mortality. Many patients may be managed with tube thoracostomy. However, life-threatening conditions, which include hemorrhage and tracheobronchial injury, require keen knowledge of anatomy and prompt intervention. Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) allows for a systematic approach to assess trauma patients and diagnose injuries. Life-threatening pathologies include:  • Tension pneumothorax  • Massive hemothorax  • Cardiac Tamponade  • Great vessel injury
