Abstract
Penetrating chest wound with the presence of a wounding object in the wound is a complicated type of wound due to the possibility of additional damage to the abdominal or thoracic cavity organs, the more dangerous are the wounds within the Grekov zone, when the surgeon has no possibility to remove the wounding object due to possible fatal bleeding, if being in the heart tissues it closes the wound channel and prevents blood flow.
In this observation from the practice of a specialised department, the approach of surgeons at the wound of the left side of the chest in the projection of the heart, with the presence of a wounding object (kitchen knife) and oscillations of the latter in time with the heartbeat is indicative.
