Pneumomediastinum Secondary to Barotrauma after Recreational Nitrous Oxide Inhalation
We present a case of a seventeen-year-old patient, admitted in the care of the surgical team following inhalation of nitrous oxide at high pressure, leading to extensive pneumomediastinum and surgical emphysema. We discuss the subsequent investigations and management for this patient. In the absence of history of airway injury and respiratory problems including asthma and with no oesophageal pe...
متن کاملMiddle-ear barotrauma after hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
BACKGROUND Middle-ear barotrauma (MEB) is one of the most common side effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2). The incidence of MEB has been shown to vary between treatment centers and patients. This study was aimed to determine which patients are at high risk of MEB. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective study including all the patients treated in a multiplace HBO2 chamber between January an...
متن کاملSubchronic endotoxin inhalation causes persistent airway disease.
The endotoxin component of organic dusts causes acute reversible airflow obstruction and airway inflammation. To test the hypothesis that endotoxin alone causes airway remodeling, we have compared the response of two inbred mouse strains to subchronic endotoxin exposure. Physiological and biological parameters were evaluated after 1 day, 5 days, or 8 wk of exposure to endotoxin [lipopolysacchar...
متن کاملAlterations in airway microbiota in patients with PaO2/FiO2 ratio ≤ 300 after burn and inhalation injury
BACKGROUND Injury to the airways after smoke inhalation is a major mortality risk factor in victims of burn injuries, resulting in a 15-45% increase in patient deaths. Damage to the airways by smoke may induce acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which is partly characterized by hypoxemia in the airways. While ARDS has been associated with bacterial infection, the impact of hypoxemia on ...
متن کاملAirway pressures and early barotrauma in patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
The determinants of barotrauma in mechanically ventilated patients with acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) have not been clearly established. Using data from ARDS Network randomized controlled trials, we retrospectively examined the association between airway pressures and the risk of early barotrauma in a cohort of 718 patients with ALI/ARDS and no baseline bar...
