Small oblique wounds sometimes cause emphysema and rapid asphyxia. Dyspnoea may also arise from the passage of blood into the bronchi and from the obstruction due to partly detached fragments of tissue. Death may quickly follow these wounds from hemorrhage and from the asphyxia caused by it. More Often their gravity consists in the inflammation or the septic infection which is apt to complicate the smaller wounds, and in the necroses the inhalation of detached fragments, the growth of granulations, secondary hemorrhage, tracheo-bronchitis, pleurisy, and broncho-pneumonia.
