Abstract:
Background: Needle decompression of the chest is indicated for patients in a critical condition with rapid deterioration who have a life-threatening tension pneumothorax. Aim: To reassure UK prehospital care providers that needle decompression of the chest is not commonly required in chest trauma patients, and most can be safely managed without it. Methods: Case studies as part of a major trauma network continuous review process have revealed instances of needle decompression in the absence of tension pneumothorax. Images are presented where needle decompression was attempted in the absence of tension pneumothorax. Context: Expert opinion from our network's multidisciplinary trauma team discuss the occurrence of tension pneumothorax in self-ventilating patients, and the idea that tension pneumothorax is rare in the UK civilian trauma population is acknowledged. Other causes of chest hypoventilation are discussed.

Abstract:
Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) is one of the major complications of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), and it can be a life-threatening condition if it progresses to tension pneumothorax. A correct initial assessment and prompt intervention will prevent a hemodynamic deterioration in tension pneumothorax. Needle decompression followed by large-bore chest tube insertion is usually required in the management of SSP. We present a case of spontaneous TB-associated tension pneumothorax in a young adult which resolved with needle decompression without chest tube insertion.

Abstract:
Tension pneumothorax can occur as a potentially life threatening complication of chest trauma. Tension pneumothorax is commonly treated with needle decompression, both the 2nd intercostal space in the midclavicular line and the 4th/5th intercostal space in the anterior axillary. A 45 years old man came to our emergency department after blunt injury of the chest presenting tension pneumothorax with unstable hemodynamic treated with needle decompression using 14 gauge (4.5 cm) cannula at 2nd intercostal space mid clavicular line, patient successfully recover and became hemodynamic stable, after 30 minutes of successful needle decompression patient experienced with recurrent tension pneumothorax. Several studies show the failure of needle decompression it may due to several factor such as chest wall thickness, cannula length, and location of the needle decompression. In this case the cannula may has insufficient length (4.5 cm) to pass through the full thickness of the patient’s chest wall at 2nd intercostal space mid clavicular line (ICS 2) and makes air leaks from the lung faster than it can escape through the cannula.

Abstract:
Introduction: Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has become a pandemic that is still ongoing today. This is a new challenge for health workers in handling emergency cases. Several COVID-19 patients arrived at the hospital with severe respiratory problems. Meanwhile, other pathological conditions causing respiratory failure must also be considered, such as pneumothorax. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effective emergency procedures to treat COVID-19 cases with tension pneumothorax. Case report: A 45-year-old male patient arrived with a referral letter from a pulmonologist with a diagnosis of simple pneumothorax and pneumonia. The patient also presented a positive SARS COV-2 PCR test result. The patient complained about a worsening of shortness of breath. A symptom of dry cough for 14 days was also reported. Chest radiograph examination subsequently indicated right tension pneumothorax. In the emergency ward, needle decompression procedure connected to the vial containing sterile intravenous fluids was performed. Re-examination of the chest x-ray demonstrated right pulmonary re-expansion. The patient was monitored and after four days, needle decompression was removed and no chest tube was inserted because complete resolution of the lungs had occurred. Discussion: This case illustrates that tension pneumothorax causes worsening of the patient's condition with COVID-19 diagnosis. In another case of tension pneumothorax in a COVID-19 patient, needle decompression of the 2nd intercostal space and the mid-clavicular line was performed as initial treatment followed by chest tube insertion as definitive treatment. However, in this case, chest tube approach was not carried out because the patient had demonstrated clinical and radiological improvement and a worsening condition had not occurred. Conclusion: Prolonged needle decompression connected to a vial containing sterile intravenous fluids as deep as 2 cm from the water surface is an effective procedure in the management of tension pneumothorax even without the installation of a chest tube.

Abstract:
Background: Tension pneumothorax is a condition with frequent fatal complications. This condition is caused by a disruption in the lung - that creates a one-way valve allowing air to accumulate in the pleural space. The fatal complication is the prevention of blood returning to the right side of the heart - due intrathoracic pressure compressing the right atrium. The patient can exhibit symptoms of dyspnea, tachypnea, tracheal deviation, jugular venous distention, subcutaneous emphysema, and shock that can lead to rapid deterioration and death. Case Report: We report a case of massive subcutaneous emphysema complicating tension pneumothorax management. The patient is a 20-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with chest trauma and was in extremis with diffuse severe subcutaneous emphysema. Due to the distorted anatomy, airway management and chest decompression were performed with nonstandard techniques/equipment resulting in rapid patient stabilization. After 4 days in the hospital, he was discharged home with no deficits. Discussion: Many providers do not have the proper equipment or training to treat patients in this extreme condition. CT images demonstrate the anatomical distortions in this case and the increase in size required for invasive life-saving devices. Images demonstrate where many commercial 14 gauge angiocaths and cricothyrotomy kits will not suffice (due to distortion in the anatomy), and these should not be relied on solely. Conclusions: While trauma carts frequently maintain (1.75 - 2 inch) 14 gauge angiocaths, they should also have military grade angiocaths that are 3.25” in length, which will work in most cases. Some, but not all, military-grade cricothyrotomy kits, or individually assembled kits, have 6.0 endotracheal tubes and come with a bougie and cricothyrotomy hook which would have been sufficient in this patient. Prehospital and hospital healthcare personnel should be prepared for similar patient encounters.

Abstract:
This chapter reviews the management of a stable and tension pneumothorax after cardiac surgery and discusses persistent air leaks. It examines the features of pneumothorax on chest ultrasonography and compares the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound to chest radiography and chest computed tomography (CT). It discusses the technique for needle decompression and chest drain insertion and troubleshoots problems with both. It describes the characteristics of persistent air leaks and summarizes the grading system. It compares the features of alveolar-pleural fistulas to bronchopleural fistulas and discusses various diagnostic techniques including chest CT, sequential balloon occlusion, and bronchoscopy. It outlines various treatment options including ventilation strategies, Heimlich valves, chemical pleurodesis, endobronchial/intrabronchial valves, occlusion coils, self-expanding airway stents, and surgery.
