In the management of flail chest patient Humidified O2 is given. Analgesics are also given because it improves ventilation by decreasing pain during breathing, but ventilation may need to be supported mechanically. Volume status should be closely monitored because harm can result from either hypovolemia (due to lung hypoperfusion) or hypervolemia (due to pulmonary edema).
