متن کاملBilateral pneumothorax following air bag deployment.
Air bags have been shown to decrease mortality from automobile accidents. Herein is a unique case of bilateral pneumothorax following deployment and rupture of an air bag with no other associated chest trauma. One may posit that rupture of the air bag allowed high-pressure gases to be expelled into the patient's lungs resulting in explosive barotrauma.
متن کاملResolution of experimental pneumothorax by room air.
UNLABELLED Observation alone is advised only for primary spontaneous pneumothoraces with less than 20 percent of the lungs collapsed. In such cases, it is the resorption capabilities of the visceral pleura that are solely relied upon. The AIM of the present experimental study was to demonstrate the capabilities of the pleura for pneumothorax resolution by room air. MATERIAL AND METHODS The st...
