Abstract
Fat emboli syndrome is one of the major causes of early posttraumatic respiratory distress. Careful attention to the multiple factors associated with the early resuscitative period can minimize this lethal complication of multisystem injury. The use of high-dose steroids and appropriate ventilatory support will decrease the high mortality rate associated with this disease syndrome once it has developed.
