Depending on the depth of a penetrating chest wound, the air will flow into the pleural space either through the chest wall or from the visceral pleura of the tracheobronchial tree. Martin M, Satterly S, Inaba K, Blair K. Does needle thoracostomy provide adequate and effective decompression of tension pneumothorax? J Trauma. Endoscopy. It is difficult to determine the actual incidence of tension pneumothorax as by the time trauma patients are transported to trauma centers, they have already received decompressive needle thoracotomies. Moreover, central venous catheter insertion was responsible for 13.2%of cases. Shortness of breath/dyspnea in PSP is generally of sudden onset and tends to be more severe with SSPs because of decreased lung reserve. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Bense L, Eklund G, Wiman LG. Pneumothorax in polysubstance-abusing marijuana and tobacco smokers: three cases. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. Symptoms of spontaneous pneumothorax might appear when a person is at rest.

Tension pneumothorax arises from many causes and rapidly progresses to respiratory insufficiency, cardiovascular collapse, and ultimately death if not recognized and treated. 44 (3): 253-6. Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. Anxiety, cough, and vague presenting symptoms (eg, general malaise, fatigue) are less commonly observed. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. The following specialties should be on board while managing such patients: Following a pneumothorax, patients must be educated to avoidair travel until complete resolution or for a minimum of two weeks after surgical intervention. Explain the importance of improving care coordination among interprofessional team members to provide the best outcomes for patients with tension pneumothorax. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. Thus, having personnel trained in emergency assessment of pneumothoraces and having an emergency kit for thoracotomies, intubation, and patient stabilization is essential. This can occur within minutes. Penetrating chest wounds must be covered with an airtight occlusive bandage and clean plastic sheeting. Dominguez KM, Ekeh AP, Tchorz KM, Woods RJ, Walusimbi MS, Saxe JM, McCarthy MC. Clinical signs of a tension pneumothorax in the ventilated patient are comparably rapid, with arterial and mixed venous peripheral capillary oxygen saturation immediately decreasing 5. Thorax. Wax DB, Leibowitz AB. Rapid detection of pneumothorax by ultrasonography in patients with multiple trauma. Tension pneumothorax most commonly occurs in patients receiving positive-pressure ventilation (with mechanical ventilation or particularly during resuscitation). [3], On examination, it is essential to assess for signs of respiratory distress, including increased respiratory rate, dyspnea, and retractions. Close radiographic view of a small pneumothorax in a patient with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lung biopsy (same patient as in the previous image). Medication may be necessary to treat a pulmonary disorder that causes the pneumothorax. Risk factors and treatment. DORNHORST AC, PIERCE JW. [18][19], Traumatic pneumothorax occurs secondary to penetrating (e.g., gunshot wounds, stab wounds) or blunt chest trauma. The incidence of traumatic pneumothorax depends on the size and mechanism of the injury. What Can We Do? Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: Who Gets an Antifibrotic? [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. In the case of iatrogenic or tension pneumothoraces in the hospital, this is usually in the ITU settings, the operating room, or a procedure suite. There is atendency for the lung to recoilinward and the chest wall to recoil outward. Other tension pneumothorax Chest Discomfort Chest Tightness Cough Cyanosis (Bluish Tinge to Skin) 20021003552-overviewDiseases & Conditions, You are being redirected to Chen KC, Chen PH, Chen JS. 10 (4):R112. With tension pneumothorax, patients will have signs of hemodynamic instability with hypotension and tachycardia. The incidence is 5to 7 per 10,000 hospital admissions. If multiple rib fractures occur along the midlateral (red arrows) or anterior chest wall (blue arrows), a flail chest (dotted black lines) may result, which may result in pneumothorax. All the above causes can further cause tension pneumothorax as well as: Traumatic and tension pneumothoraces are more common than spontaneous pneumothoraces. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. 6.

Delay in diagnosis and management is associated with a poor prognosis. 2004 Mar. Sharma A, Jindal P. Principles of diagnosis and management of traumatic pneumothorax. [1][2]It is a severe condition that results when air is trapped in the pleural space under positive pressure, displacing mediastinal structures and compromising cardiopulmonary function. Tension pneumothorax is a clinical diagnosis requiring emergent needle decompression, and therapy should never be delayed for x-ray confirmation. Tension pneumothorax most commonly occurs in patients receiving positive-pressure ventilation (with mechanical ventilation or particularly during resuscitation). Positive pressure ventilation should be avoided initially, as it will increase the tension pneumothorax's size. Perera P, Mailhot T, Riley D, Mandavia D.

Schramel FM, Postmus PE, Vanderschueren RG. In severe cases, the increased pressure can alsocompress the heart, the contralateral lung, and the vasculature leading to hemodynamic instability and cardiac arrest in some cases. In severe cases, or if the diagnosis was missed, patients could develop acuterespiratory failure and possibly cardiac arrest. Treasure Island (FL): StatPearls Publishing; 2023 Jan-.
