Hi
Thanks for the details provided.
-The broken ribs and bruised heart should be treated conservatively with analgesics.
-The pulmonary oedema can be treated with diuretics ,but this still depends upon the amount of fluid present.
-I would require more information about the condition to give you more advices and guide you.
Thank you
