|
|
|
| He learned to recognize pneumonia, bronchiectasis, pleurisy, emphysema, pneumothorax, phthisis, and other lung diseases from the sounds he heard with his stethoscope. |

|
| The right pneumothorax was found to be loculated, and was drained by interventional radiology who placed two chest tubes into the locules under fluoroscopic guidance. |
|
| Penetrating thoracic injury can cause fistulous communication resulting in a persistent pneumothorax. |
|
| There are three major types of pneumothorax: traumatic pneumothorax, spontaneous pneumothorax, and tension pneumothorax. |
|
| The occurrences of pneumothorax, as well as the use of ventilation and high-flow nasal cannulas were significantly lower than the VON averages. |
|
| Right after chest wall closure, the lungs underwent radioscopic examination in an attempt to identify the presence of pneumothorax or any other undesirable alteration. |
|
| Caution: Do not drill any deeper than necessary, to avoid the risk of pneumothorax. |
|
| As the diver ascends, air trapped in the cavity expands and could produce a tension pneumothorax. |
|
| All CF patients can develop localized air trapping, increasing the risk of air embolus or pneumothorax during scuba diving. |
|
| Sudden decompression in the aircraft results in rapid expansion of gases, which could result in pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum or air embolus. |
|
| A client with pneumothorax, especially if induced by trauma, is at significant risk during air transport. |
|
| Complications observed during catheterization included arterial puncture, hematoma, arythmia, wrong insertion, pneumothorax and hemothorax. |
|
| Spontaneous pneumothorax is the passage of air into the pleural sac from an abnormal connection created between the pleura and the bronchial system as a result of bullous emphysema or some other lung disease. |
|
| Spontaneous pneumothorax occurring in the majority of these patients arises from the rupture of subpleural blebs. |
|
| Surgery, including approaches from the prechemotherapy era like artificial pneumothorax, pneumoperitonium, lobectomy and radical thoracoplasty, are extensively practiced. |
|
| Usually pyothorax-associated lymphoma arises in patients with a history of chronic pyothorax, typically resulting from iatrogenic pneumothorax for pulmonary tuberculosis or, more rarely, tubercular pleurisy. |
|
|
|
| Transthoracic lung ultrasound allows to detect lung aerations and consolidations, to find pneumothorax or hydrothorax, localize alveolar-interstitial edema. |
|
| In contrast to traumatic pneumothorax and spontaneous pneumothorax, in tension pneumothorax air that becomes trapped in the pleural space cannot escape. |
|
| A pneumothorax that occurs or reoccurs while diving may be catastrophic. |
|
| She had experienced several episodes of spontaneous pneumothorax. |
|
| All cases of pneumothorax must be treated before air transport. |
|
| In both incidents, valves in the exhalation pathway were stuck closed, preventing patient exhalation and causing a step-wise increase in lung inflation and the risk of pneumothorax. |
|
| Cases of pneumothorax occurring per operatively have been reported. |
|
| She collapsed at the finish line and was transported to the MMU for treatment of a pneumothorax. |
|
| She wants nothing to do with new words like pneumothorax and thoracoplasty. |
|
| People who develop a primary spontaneous pneumothorax often fit a characteristic profile. |
|
| Spontaneous pneumothorax is a rarely seen complication in metastatic pulmonary diseases. |
|
| The diagnosis of spontaneous pneumothorax secondary to bullous lung disease in an HIV-positive male smoker was made. |
|
| Spontaneous pneumothorax complicating pulmonary mycetoma in patients with acute leukemia. |
|
| But so-called primary spontaneous pneumothorax happens in the absence of an underlying disease, typically striking tall, thin, male smokers. |
|
| Within a short space of time, the patient deteriorated due to tension pneumothorax threatening respiratory arrest. |
|
| Pleural abnormalities, including pleural effusions and pneumothorax, are common findings. |
|
| Residency program is liable for pneumothorax because it violated its own rules regarding supervision of procedures. |
|
| However, this medial puncture technique is potentially responsible for increased risk of lead fracture, pneumothorax and hemothorax. |
|
| Compressive atelectasis develops with any space-occupying lesion such as pneumothorax, hemothorax, pleural effusion, or abdominal distention. |
|
| Pleuropulmonary complications include pneumothorax, hemothorax, pyothorax and septic pulmonary emboli. |
|
|
|
| Emphysematous spaces, as well as pneumothorax, can be created. |
|
| If ultrasound tools are unavailable, then the infraclavicular approach should be considered, because the latter poses less risk of a pneumothorax. |
|
| Spontaneous pneumothorax is a well-recognized pulmonary complication of a wide variety of disorders, ranging from endometriosis to metastatic malignancy. |
