Status asthmaticus with pseudo-dextrocardia, complicated by iatrogenic tension pneumothorax
A 25-year old female, with a background of asthma, presented with acute shortness of breath. On examination the patient was in severe respiratory distress with expiratory wheezes. She was nebulized with ipratropium and fenoterol. A chest x-ray revealed pseudodextrocardia and air trapping (A). She did not respond to inhaled bronchodilator therapy. Intravenous hydrocortisone and magnesium sulphat...
متن کاملPost-intubation tension pneumothorax and pneumoperitoneum in a low birth weight neonate with giant epulis
Congenital epulis is a benign soft‐tissue lesion of the alveolar mucosa. It may be sessile or pedunculated and vary in size from several millimetres to a few centimetres.[1,2] Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. The most important aspect of pre‐anaesthetic evaluation is assessment for difficult airway. Literature on the anaesthetic management of neonates with congenital epulis is limi...
متن کاملTension pneumothorax complicated by double-lumen endotracheal tube intubation.
Tension pneumothorax is not a rare complication of mechanical ventilation, but its occurrence immediately after intubation with a double-lumen endotracheal tube (DLT) is very rare. Subsequent impairment of the respiratory and cardiovascular function can be life threatening if it is not detected early enough and managed properly. Most reported cases of tension pneumothorax during DLT intubation ...
متن کاملTension pneumothorax and contralateral presumed pneumothorax from endobronchial intubation via cricothyroidotomy.
Cricothyroidotomy can be a life-saving procedure for the "can't intubate, can't ventilate" patient who has upper-airway obstruction. The procedure is usually fast and easy to do; however, complications have been reported. We report two cases in which cricothyroidotomy with an endotracheal tube led to unrecognized endobronchial intubation, ipsilateral tension pneumothorax, contralateral presumed...
متن کاملStatus asthmaticus
Status asthmaticus (SA) is a common medical emergency faced by emergency department and intensive care specialists. Timely evaluation and treatment is required to prevent the morbidity and mortality associated with respiratory failure. SA is a severe asthma exacerbation that proves refractory to standard treatment regimens and represents the most extreme end of the asthma spectrum. Research eff...
