The aim of this study was to describe a system of salvaging and reinfusing chyle which accumulated in the right pleural cavity of a patient after a thoracic duct lesion caused by a closed chest injury associated with amyelic fracture of the dorsal spine D10-D11. The chyle was collected in a reservoir (BT 844 Dideco), transfered by an electronic pump (BT 797 recovery Dideco) to a storage bag, microfiltered and then reinfused to the patient. A solution was needed to prevent the patient with severe chylothorax, from having immunological and metabolic imbalance. The long period of conservative treatment with our system was imposed by the onset of acute post-traumatic myocardic infarction which delayed surgery. From experience gained, we can say that using total parenteral nutrition, chyle can not only be salvaged but also reinfused, respecting the strict rules of hygiene.


In recent years, the upward trend in closed severe chest injuries has increased. Closed chest injury with fractures of the ribs is often accompanied by the occurrence of purulent-inflammatory complications. So, the ability of blood serum to lysis Escherichia coli (bactericidal activity of blood serum), micrococcus (indicator of lysozyme content), bacillus subtilis (indicator of beta-lysine content) in 54 patients with a closed chest injury was studied. The indicators of factors of natural resistance were compared with those of 40 healthy people. In addition, the indicators of patients whose trauma proceeded with and without an inflammatory complication were compared with each other. Inflammatory complications in the form of post-traumatic pleurisy and pneumonia were observed in 34 (62.9%) of the examined patients with fractures of 1-3 ribs. In patients with these injuries, we revealed a slight decrease in the bactericidal activity of blood serum: on the first day in the group of patients with a smooth flow to 75.92 + 3.22%, and in the group of patients with complication of the trauma, the inflammatory process (pleurisy, pneumonia) to 72, 83 + 2.65%. On the second day, in the first group, BABS decreases even more to 70.79 + 3.11%, and on the second day it increases to 87.32 + 1.91% (p <0.05). All subsequent days of observation, the bactericidal activity of the blood serum of patients with a favorable flow remained normal or close to normal.The concentration of serum beta-lysine in patients is also subject to large changes depending on the course of the post-traumatic period. In cases of smooth flow, on the first day we noted an increase in the content of beta-lysine in 52.87 + 2.51% (with a norm of 39.3 + 1.4%). Starting from the second day there is a clear downward trend in this indicator. From 4 to 5 days, he approaches the norm (44.32 + 2.40%) and remains within these limits throughout the entire observation period. Thus, a decrease in serum lysozyme and an increase in beta-lysine concentration from the first day after an injury in patients with fractures of 1-3 ribs can serve as a prognostic sign of an inflammatory complication.resistance, which were already registered with minor injuries. However, in cases of the development of the inflammatory process, there is a more significant decrease in the lysozyme content and an increase in the concentration of beta-lysine in the blood serum from the first day after the injury, remaining on all subsequent days.

The clinical case of successful cure of the victim with severe closed chest injury is presented, as a result of which the life-threatening acute respiratory failure could not be compensated by artificial lung ventilation and, in connection with which the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a «life-saving technology» was required.
