Prehospital Trauma Care
Surg Clin North Am. 2024 Apr;104(2):267-277. doi: 10.1016/j.suc.2023.10.005. Epub 2023 Nov 18.ABSTRACTPrehospital trauma evaluation begins with the primary assessment of airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure. This is closely followed by vital signs and a secondary assessment. Key prehospital interventions include management and resuscitation according to the aforementioned principles with a focus on major hemorrhage control, airway compromise, and invasive management of tension pneumothorax. Determining the appropriate time and method for transportation (eg, ground ambulance, helicopter, police, private ...

Catamenial pneumothorax with persistent air leak
An Sist Sanit Navar. 2024 Mar 7;47(1):e1069. doi: 10.23938/ASSN.1069.ABSTRACTCatamenial pneumothorax is a spontaneous recurrent pneumothorax that occurs in women of reproductive age and in temporal relationship with the menses. It usually occurs within 24 hours before or 72 hours after the start of the menstrual cycle; however, multiple variations have been described in terms of the temporal relationship. To date, it is considered a rare condition; this may be justified by the limited available knowledge on this disease leading to misdiagnosis. Often, making a diagnosis of catamenial pneumothorax is complicated; it mainly ...

Familial pulmonary cysts: A clue to diagnose Birt –Hogg–Dubé syndrome: A case report and literature review
This report details the case of a 56-year-old female non-smoker diagnosed with multiple pulmonary cysts, presenting with a history of recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax. A computed tomography (CT) scan of her daughter revealed similar pulmonary cysts, raising suspicion of BHD. Further abdominal enhanced CT revealed a left renal tumour and cutaneous fibrofolliculomas on her daughter's neck. Consequently, whole-exome sequencing confirmed anFLCN germline mutation in the patient and three relatives, establishing a diagnosis of BHD. This case highlights the importance of familial pulmonary cysts as a clue for diagnosing BHD, pr...

Prolonged Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Exposure After Pleurodesis Increases Pneumothorax Recurrence: A Retrospective Cohort Study
The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) in patients undergoing pleurodesis remains controversial. Although many surgeons are comfortable prescribing NSAIDs post-operatively, some oppose this practice due to concerns of suppressing the inflammatory response and quality of pleurodesis. Only a small body of inconsistent publications exists with respect to guiding therapy in this common clinical scenario. (Source: Heart, Lung and Circulation)

Reply to Letter to the Editor by Lohmann and Fernandes
Most patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) who developed pneumothorax on mechanical ventilation have an underlying pulmonary hypoplasia, in which the lung has a physiologically small volume and consequently a low compliance. The Japanese CDH Study Group (JCDHSG) conducted multicenter retrospective cohort studies of pneumothorax development in patients with CDH between 2006 and 2018 [1,2]. Pneumothorax was more likely to develop in patients with CDH associated with larger diaphragmatic defects and was associated with a fatal outcome in neonates with CDH, especially those with large diaphragmatic defects [1,2]....

GSE252735 A vagal reflex evoked by airway closure
Contributors : Michael S Schappe ; Philip A Brinn ; Narendra R Joshi ; Rachel S Greenberg ; Soohong Min ; AbdulRasheed A Alabi ; Chuchu Zhang ; Stephen D LiberlesSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Mus musculusAirway integrity must be continuously maintained throughout life. Sensory neurons guard against airway obstruction and on a moment-by-moment basis, enact vital reflexes to maintain respiratory function. Decreased lung capacity is common and life-threatening across many respiratory diseases, and lung collapse can be acutely evoked by chest wall trauma, pneumothorax, or airway c...

Artificial Intelligence in Lung Ultrasound
AbstractPurpose of ReviewWe summarize and review recent artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) innovations within the field of lung point-of-care ultrasound (LUS).Recent FindingsMany recent DL models in LUS have been developed to aid in diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia, pulmonary edema, pneumothorax, and pediatric pneumonia. Publicly available data sets of patients with these pathologies have been curated, annotated, and developed to train DL models to not only detect these pathologies but also quantify severity, guide users, and act as a prognostic tool to risk stratify.SummaryThe increased use of AI in LUS ha...

Enhancing Quality and Safety in Critical Care —Challenges and Strategies for Central Venous Catheters
Central venous catheters (CVCs) are widely used in US critical care settings, providing essential functions such as medication administration, hemodynamic monitoring, and reliable venous access. Despite the benefits of CVCs, complications, particularly infections, have become a major focus of US hospital quality improvement efforts due to federal and state initiatives that emphasize patient safety, transparency, and accountability. The Centers for Medicare& Medicaid Services mandate reporting hospital-acquired infections through the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program, which significantly affects hospital oper...

Efficacy and safety of local ablative therapy for patients with NSCLC and coexisting interstitial lung disease
ConclusionAlthough ILD was associated with a higher incidence of pneumothorax, the efficacy of LAT for NSCLC patients with ILD was comparable to those without ILD, suggesting that LAT might be a reliable and effective treatment option for this population, particularly in the early stage.
