Unusual Case of Primary Spontaneous Hemopneumothorax in a Young Man with Atypical Tension Pneumothorax: a Case Report Youwen Chen* and Zhijian Guo
Chen and Guo Journal of Medical Case Reports (2018) 12:188 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13256-018-1732-x CASE REPORT Open Access Unusual case of primary spontaneous hemopneumothorax in a young man with atypical tension pneumothorax: a case report Youwen Chen* and Zhijian Guo Abstract Background: Spontaneous life-threatening hemopneumothorax is an atypical but treatable entity of unexpected circulatory collapse in young patients, affecting 0.5–11.6% of patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax. Spontaneous pneumothorax is a well-documented disorder with a classic clinical presentation of acute onset chest pain and shortness of breath. This disorder might be complicated by the development of hemopneumothorax or tension pneumothorax. Case presentation: A 23-year-old Asian man was referred to the emergency room of Xiamen Chang Gung Memorial Hospital with a 1-day history of right-sided chest pain that had been aggravated for 1 hour. A physical examination revealed a young man who was awake and alert but in mild to moderate painful distress. His vital parameters were relatively stable at first. The examining physician noted slight tenderness along the right posterolateral chest wall along the eighth and tenth ribs. Primary spontaneous pneumothorax was considered, and a standing chest X-ray confirmed the diagnosis. A right thoracostomy tube was immediately placed under sterile conditions, and he was referred to the respiratory service. While in the respiratory department, approximately 420 mL of blood was drained from the thoracostomy tube over 15 minutes. Our patient developed obvious hemodynamic instability with hypovolemic shock and was subsequently admitted to the cardiothoracic surgical ward after fluid resuscitation. -

Background. The management and outcomes of occult hemopneumothorax in blunt trauma patients who required mechanical ventilation are not well studied. We aimed to study patients with occult hemopneumothorax on mechanical ventilation who could be carefully managed without tube thoracostomy. Methods. Chest trauma patients with occult hemopneumothorax who were on mechanical ventilation were prospectively evaluated. The presence of hemopneumothorax was confirmed by CT scanning. Hospital length of stay, complications, and outcome were recorded. Results.Atotalof56chesttraumapatientswithoccult hemopneumothorax who were on ventilatory support were included with a mean age of 36 ± 13 years. -

Pulmonary Dysfunction in Patients with Femoral Shaft Fracture Treated with Intramedullary Nailing by BRENT L
COPYRIGHT © 2001 BY THE JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY, INCORPORATED Pulmonary Dysfunction in Patients with Femoral Shaft Fracture Treated with Intramedullary Nailing BY BRENT L. NORRIS, MD, W. CHRISTOPHER PATTON, MD, JOSEPH N. RUDD JR., BSN, PHD, COLLEEN M. SCHMITT, MD, MHS, AND JEFFREY A. KLINE, MD Investigation performed at the University of Tennessee College of Medicine, Chattanooga, Tennessee, and the Carolinas Medical Center, Charlotte, North Carolina Background: This study was undertaken to determine whether alveolar dead space increases during intramedul- lary nailing of femoral shaft fractures and whether alveolar dead space predicts postoperative pulmonary dysfunc- tion in patients undergoing intramedullary nailing of a femoral shaft fracture. Methods: All patients with a femoral shaft fracture were prospectively enrolled in the study unless there was evi- dence of acute myocardial infarction, shock, or heart failure. Arterial blood gases were measured at three consec- utive time-periods after induction of general anesthesia: before intramedullary nailing and ten and thirty minutes after intramedullary nailing. The end-tidal carbon-dioxide level, minute ventilation, positive end-expiratory pres- sure, and percent of inspired and expired inhalation agent were recorded simultaneously with the blood-gas mea- surement. Postoperatively, all subjects were monitored for evidence of pulmonary dysfunction, defined as the need for mechanical ventilation or supplemental oxygen (at a fraction of inspired oxygen of >40%) in the presence of clinical signs of a respiratory rate of >20 breaths/min or the use of accessory muscles of respiration. Results: Seventy-four patients with a total of eighty femoral shaft fractures completed the study. Fifty fractures (62.5%) underwent nailing after reaming, and thirty fractures (37.5%) underwent nailing with minimal or no ream- ing. -
