Morbidity, mortality, and surgical treatment of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax
CONCLUSION: Large pneumothorax, poor physical performance, and comorbidity are associated with morbidity and mortality. Conservative treatment for small pneumothorax and chest tube for large pneumothorax is the most appropriate initial treatment. Resection of the bullous region through VATS or mini-AT/T is the most appropriate surgical technique.PMID:37563896 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2023.20566 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)

Outcomes and potential for improvement in the prehospital treatment of penetrating chest injuries in a European metropolitan area: A retrospective analysis of 2009 - 2017
CONCLUSIONS: Severe cases of penetrating chest trauma are rare in Vienna and happened about once a week between 2009 and 2017. Both incidence and case load increased over the years, and potentially life-saving invasive procedures were only reluctantly applied. Therefore, a structured educational and skill retention approach aimed at both paramedics and emergency physicians should be implemented.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Retrospective analysis without intervention.PMID:37544864 | DOI:10.1016/j.injury.2023.110971 (Source: Pain Physician)

Chest X-Ray Remains a Vital Component Prior to Tube Thoracostomy
CONCLUSION: A positive finding of PTX on BUS combined with CXR is more indicative of the need for TT in the trauma patient when compared with BUS or CXR alone.PMID:37500609 | DOI:10.1177/00031348231192061 (Source: The American Surgeon)

Cardiac arrest in the perioperative period: a consensus guideline for identification, treatment, and prevention from the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care and the European Society for Trauma and Emergency Surgery
ConclusionsSuccessful prevention and management of cardiac arrest during anaesthesia and surgery requires anticipation, early recognition, and a clear treatment plan. The ready availability of expert staff and equipment must also be taken into consideration. Success not only depends on medical knowledge, technical skills and a well-organised team using crew resource management, but also on an institutional safety culture embedded in everyday practice through continuous education, training, and multidisciplinary co-operation.

Case of Spontaneous Pneumothorax After Recent COVID Pneumonia Hospitalization
J Prim Care Community Health. 2023 Jan-Dec;14:21501319231182307. doi: 10.1177/21501319231182307.ABSTRACTAn elderly man with COPD and heart failure was admitted to the Family Medicine Inpatient Service from the Emergency Department (ED) after experiencing acute onset of shortness of breath at home. He had recently been briefly hospitalized with COVID pneumonia. Upon arrival in the ED, he was requiring continuous positive airway pressure to maintain oxygen saturations. Overall, physical exam was notable for mild respiratory distress. Lab evaluation was unremarkable, but chest x-ray showed a right sided pneumothorax. Spontane...

Thoracostomy tube withdrawal during latter phases of expiration or inspiration: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionThe thoracostomy tube can be removed during both the end-expiratory and end-inspiratory stages of respiration with no appreciable difference. Nevertheless, caution should be exercised when ascertaining the implications of these findings, taking into account the potential limitations and confounding variables that may exert influence upon the outcomes.
