Pneumothorax during shoulder surgery
Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen. 2024 Apr 4;144(5). doi: 10.4045/tidsskr.23.0542. Print 2024 Apr 23.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Pneumothorax following shoulder arthroscopy, although rare, is documented in over 30 PubMed case reports as occurring during or within 10 hours post-procedure.CASE PRESENTATION: A fit septuagenarian underwent a two-hour arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with IV anaesthesia and laryngeal mask airway, without a nerve block. With one hour remaining of the operation, the patient had desaturation and hypotension. Lung sliding was absent on ultrasound and x-ray confirmed left-sided tension pneumothorax. Successful thorac...

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) pediatric resident training course: a cross-sectional survey
ConclusionsThe results highlight the importance of including a POCUS track course in pediatric post-graduate programs due to its simplicity, rapid learning time, and clinical usefulness. Based on these findings, it would be recommended to increase the teaching hours dedicated to the recognition of pneumothorax and cardiology POCUS examination. Emphasizing POCUS training in pediatric education can enhance patient care and diagnostic accuracy while minimizing radiation exposure. (Source: Italian Journal of Pediatrics)

Persistent pulmonary abnormalities after 18 months of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia
CONCLUSION: Persistent interstitial lung abnormalities are seen on HRCT for a subset of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. Seventy percent of these patients suffered a slight decrease in DLCO.PMID:38642961 | DOI:10.1016/j.rxeng.2023.10.002 (Source: Radiologia)

Utility of artificial intelligence for detection of pneumothorax on chest radiopgraphs done after transthoracic percutaneous transthoracic biopsy guided by computed tomography
CONCLUSIONS: The software has detected 100% of cases of pneumothorax in the postbiopsy chest radiographs. A potential use of this software could be as a prioritisation tool, allowing radiologists not to read immediately (or even not to read) chest radiographs classified as non-pathological by the software, with the confidence that there are no pathological cases.PMID:38642960 | DOI:10.1016/j.rxeng.2023.07.006 (Source: Radiologia)

Efficacy of Deep Venous Catheterization in the Management of Pneumothorax: A Clinical Study Utilizing Conventional Closed Thoracic Drainage
CONCLUSION: Deep venous thoracic drainage technique appears to be safer and more beneficial than conventional closed thoracic drainage procedures for treating pneumothorax. This technique offers advantages such as minimal scarring, lower VAS scores, and shorter insertion time, thereby improving safety and surgical outcomes.PMID:38639634 (Source: Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine)

Intrathoracic Needle Migration from the Mediastinum into the Thoracic Cavity
We report an interesting case of intrathoracic needle removal using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The needle was inserted under the left clavicle, penetrated the mediastinum, and migrated into the right thoracic cavity. Although pneumothorax developed during the disease course, no severe complications were observed. This rare case illustrates the course of needle migration from the mediastinum into the thoracic cavity. Prompt imaging and surgical removal of foreign bodies are necessary in cases of intrathoracic foreign bodies.PMID:38631862 | DOI:10.5761/atcs.cr.24-00039 (Source: Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

Beyond diagnosis: a narrative review of the evolving therapeutic role of medical thoracoscopy in the management of pleural diseases
CONCLUSIONS: MT is an effective procedure for treating the clinical entities presented in this document; it must be carried out in selected patients, managed in centers with high procedural expertise. Further evidence is needed to assess the optimal indications and appropriate patients' profiles for therapeutic MT. The endpoints of length of hospital stay, surgical referral, complications and mortality will have to be considered in future studies to validate it as a therapeutic intervention to be applied globally.PMID:38617786 | PMC:PMC11009601 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1745 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)

Pneumothorax during manned chamber operations: A summary of reported cases
Undersea Hyperb Med. 2024 First Quarter;51(1):29-35.ABSTRACTIn-chamber pneumothorax has complicated medically remote professional diving operations, submarine escape training, management of decompression illness, and hospital-based provision of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Attempts to avoid thoracotomy by combination of high oxygen partial pressure breathing (the concept of inherent unsaturation) and greatly slowed rates of chamber decompression proved successful on several occasions. When this delicate balance designed to prevent the intrapleural gas volume from expanding faster than it contracts proved futile, chest drains...
