generally refers to interstitial pulmonary bleeding following chest trauma. Lung contusions rarely produce symptoms within the first few hours following trauma, but may result in significant hypoxemia and decreased compliance in the first several days following chest trauma. Severe lung contusion presents on chest x-ray as a totally white lung.
An injury to the muscles and tissues caused by a blow from a blunt object.
an injury that doesn't break the skin but results in some discoloration
a bump that happens under the skin after an injury
a kind of injury, usually caused by blunt impact, in which the capillaries are damaged, allowing blood to seep into the surrounding tissue

Another name for a bruise. A contusion is caused when blood vessels are damaged or broken as the result of a bump or hit to the skin. The raised area of a bump or bruise results from blood leaking from these injured blood vessels into the tissues as well as from the body's response to the injury. A purplish, flat bruise that occurs when blood leaks out into the top layers of skin is referred to as an ecchymosis.

an injury that does not disrupt the integrity of the skin, caused by a blow to the body and characterized by swelling, discoloration and pain (bruise).
A bruise or contusion is a traumatic injury of the soft tissues which results in breakage of the local capillaries and leakage of red blood cells. In the skin it can be seen as a reddish-purple discoloration which does not blanch when pressed upon. When it fades it becomes green and brown as the body metabolizes the blood cells in the skin. It is best treated with local application of a cold pack immediately after injury. find all NHC pages containing: contusion
