Acute tension pneumothorax, flail chest with contusion, massive haemothorax and open pneumothorax are examples of life-threatening injuries that must be identified in the primary survey, i.e. they are not radiological diagnosis. Treat pneumothorax, haemothorax and tension pneumothorax with a tube thoracostomy.
