まとめ
肺手術後の重度の皮下気腫(SCE)は生命を脅かす可能性があります。皮下ドレーンによる連続吸引ドレナージは、広範な症例に対する決定的な治療法であり、患者の転帰を改善します。
科学分野:
- 胸部外科学
- 呼吸器内科学
- 外科的合併症
背景:
- 皮下気腫(SCE)は、胸部手術後のまれな合併症です。
- 多くの場合自然に治癒しますが、重度のSCEは急速に気道を危険にさらす可能性があり、迅速な介入が必要です。
研究 の 目的:
- 間質性肺疾患を有する患者における広範な術後SCEの症例を報告すること。
- 重度のSCEの管理における課題と、皮下ドレナージの有効性を強調すること。
主な方法:
- 間質性肺疾患を有する71歳男性が胸腔鏡下肺部分切除術を受けました。
- 広範なSCEと気道閉塞を発症し、当初は「ブロウホール」切開で治療されました。
- 最終的に、連続吸引に接続された24 Fr皮下ドレーンで管理されました。
主要な成果:
- 初期の保存的治療(「ブロウホール」切開)は失敗し、気道悪化と緊急挿管につながりました。
- 皮下ドレナージと連続吸引により、決定的な改善が得られました。
- 患者は人工呼吸器からの離脱に成功し、退院しました。
結論:
- 重度の術後SCEの早期認識と積極的な管理が重要です。
- 連続吸引を伴う皮下ドレナージは、難治性症例に対して有効な治療法となる可能性があります。
- このアプローチは、重度のSCEにおけるより侵襲的な介入の必要性を防ぐ可能性があります。

Pneumothorax-II
821
Pneumothorax is a medical condition defined by the buildup of air in the pleural space between the lungs and the chest wall. This accumulation of air can lead to partial or complete lung collapse, resulting in a range of clinical manifestations. Understanding the clinical presentation and effective management strategies is crucial for healthcare professionals in providing timely and appropriate care to individuals with pneumothorax.

Pneumothorax-I
1.1K
A pneumothorax is a condition where air builds up in the space between the lung and the chest wall, causing the lung to collapse. This condition arises when air enters the space between the parietal and visceral pleura, disrupting the negative pressure essential for lung inflation. This can lead to a partial or complete collapse of the lung.
Pneumothorax can be even further classified as spontaneous, traumatic, and tension pneumothorax.

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis
1.2K
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy
486
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Flail Chest-II
484
Managing flail chest, a condition characterized by a segment of the chest wall moving independently from the rest of the thoracic cage, requires a comprehensive approach. It includes a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, a diagnostic evaluation to determine the extent of the injury, and the implementation of appropriate medical interventions tailored to the individual's needs.

Pulmonary Embolism I: Introduction
457
Pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a thrombus, fat or air embolus, amniotic fluid, or tumor tissue blocks one or more pulmonary arteries. These blockages originate in the venous system or the right side of the heart.EtiologyPE primarily arises from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other hypercoagulable states, such as inherited thrombophilias. Additional etiological factors include venous stasis, commonly seen in obesity, and endothelial injury from surgery and trauma. Less common causes include...
