Managing patients with pulmonary contusion safely and effectively during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is challenging. This retrospective study analyzes the clinical data of 29 consecutive patients with pulmonary contusion, including two with COVID-19, at Tongji Hospital, Wuhan, China, in January and February, 2020. We analyzed the clinical manifestations, laboratory test results, computed tomography (CT) images, treatment, and clinical outcomes. The two patients with pulmonary contusion and COVID-19 had increased leukocyte and neutrophil counts, similar to the patients with pulmonary contusion alone. Interestingly, both these patients had subpleural ground glass opacity on CT images as a typical manifestation of COVID-19. All 29 patients were treated conservatively, including with closed thoracic drainage, instead of with thoracotomy. Six patients died of ARDS or craniocerebral injury, but the others stabilized. During the COVID-19 pandemic, patients with pulmonary contusion should be tested for SARS-CoV-2 and unless critical, thoracotomy should be avoided.
