    Thanks for the explanation. We have seen primitive scenarios on the Mash tv show where they had to re-expand a lung in adverse conditions, we can see here that doing this in a modern hospital is a lot easier than in the back of an overturned truck.

    Thank you! This is also helpful to understand stuff in the field, I took a few first aid classes and carry among other stuff a chest seal in case of accidents.

    Great lecture! I'm understanding the chest tube concepts better, but I'm still struggling to completely understand how it works.

      It can happen spontaneously or as a result of trauma, like blunt trauma or penetrating (knife or bullet). Immediate treatment is to put a needle or a tube in the chest. Paramedics on the ambulance can treat with a needle.

    Hello Doctor,
    What are the treatment for pneumothorax? How to avoid it to happen again? My cousin brother got it twice in 20 days.

    The video explains pneumothorax, a condition where air enters the thoracic cavity around the lung. It covers types of pneumothorax, chest tube management, and using ultrasound for diagnosis. The importance of proper suction and monitoring air leaks is emphasized.

    Interesting! Off-topic question: Do people still experience happy hypoxia, ards, etc. with COVID? Thanks so much!

      @Medcram  2 месяца назад +1

      We’re seeing much less acute illness from Covid. I haven’t seen a happy hypoxic in sometime. I think the last time was actually that case report where we took them out into the sunlight that I reported on last year.

    My son had a collapsed lung and required surgery after he took two Pfizer covid shots. He had an air leak and a horrible experience as a nurse had turned off a machine that he needed to breathe. He struggled all night until another nurse noticed. 💔 He still struggles to breathe almost two years later and was warned his other lung might collapse the same way.

      Goodness… so sorry your son experienced this horrible reaction to what was advertised as “safe” and then the incompetence of a hospital nurse. Best wishes that he can regain his health back.

      The lung collapse can happen spontaneously without warning. A lot of times in a thin young person.

    2:39 They needed a CXR to know this pt needs a chest tube?
    I saw a tension de Moore one time while I was working in the pulmonary ICU. It got bad quickly as in you could literally see his heart slowing down on the monitor as pressure is building. Thankfully, this happened at about 8 o’clock in the morning while the doctors were doing their rounds and pulmonologist recognize this immediately. Performed a needle decompression and then put in a chest tube. Did he wait for the x-ray before the needle decompression? Absolutely not.
    Those x-rays you showed of the tension pneumos…. I mean, they really needed a chest x-ray to confirm those patients needed a chest tube?

    • @Medcram

      Interesting that the heart slowed down. In my experience, the heart speeds up because it can’t pump enough blood.

      @@Medcram I might be making an assumption as to why the heart was slowing down. This was mid 1996. I was working as a nurse aid before going to nursing school. I might have been making an assumption as to why he was bradycardic. I thought the pulmonologist mentioned that there was so much pressure that it was prevent preventing the heart from beating effectively. I very distinctively remember about 20 to 30 seconds after performing the needle decompression the heart rate returned to normal and of course he became a lot easier to ventilate.
