    Floyer warned his patients to avoid tobacco smoke, metallic fumes, and other potential irritants because he believed that they caused pulmonary disorders. He was right. * elasticity is the ability to be stretched and to return to original shape. [humanillnesses.com]

  • Subcutaneous Emphysema of the Neck

    There was clinical evidence of subcutaneous emphysema in the neck and the upper thoracic area with swelling, crunchy feel, palpable crepitus and noisy crackling sounds on auscultation. [ispub.com]

    The chest and neck radiographs showed pneumomediastinum, pneumopericardium and subcutaneous emphysema in the neck and prevertebral space, but there was no evidence of pneumothorax ( Figure 1 ). [kjim.org]

  • Neck Swelling

    The patient may remain asymptomatic or may have symptoms such as chest pain, dyspnea, dysphagia, dysphonia, coughing, and/or neck swelling. Our patient had neck swelling and dysphagia after coughing. [mjdrdypu.org]

    In most cases, however, the onset of symptoms is sudden (within one minute of surfacing), dramatic and may appear stroke-like. [dtmag.com]

    Air bubbles lodging in the brain may cause loss of consciousness, fits or confusion, a pattern of symptoms similar to a "cerebral stroke". This is called Cerebral Arterial Gas Embolism or CAGE. [cfua.org]

Thus, patients without (1) fever 38 C; (2) oxygen desaturation Thus, a better understanding of this condition would have avoided unnecessary irradiation of this young woman (the only workup the patient needed was a simple Chest X-ray Study). [link.springer.com]

  • Pneumoperitoneum

    In the absence of mediastinal pathology, gas usually dissects along fascial planes into the mediastinum and soft tissues of the neck (subcutaneous emphysema) or retroperitoneum (pneumoperitoneum). [alpfmedical.info]

    Extraalveolar air might also find its way through the loosely packed paraesophageal connective tissue into the peritoneal cavity resulting in pneumoperitoneum or pneumoretrperitoneum (15, 16). [ispub.com]

    On follow up CXR that was performed 3 days after the surgery, pneumomediastinum and pneumoperitoneum were not observed. In addition, no additional complications developed until the patient was discharged one week later ( Fig. 3 ). [e-aps.org]

    External introduction of air can cause pneumomediastinum, such as air introduced from trauma, surgery (usually mediastinoscopy, tracheostomy, or sternotomy), or pneumoperitoneum. [clinicaladvisor.com]

    As a result, air present within the mediastinum may dissect through these tissue planes, causing pneumopericardium, pneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema, pneumoperitoneum, or pneumoretroperitoneum. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  • Pleural Adhesions

    Tension can develop without lung collapse or even major volume loss when the lung is heavily infiltrated, or when air is trapped or bound locally by pleural adhesions. [alpfmedical.info]

    The probable mechanism in our patient could be due to the existence of pleural adhesions surrounded the point of rupture. [ijhas.in]

Effective secretion clearance, treatment of infection, and, most importantly, reduction of airway pressure are fundamental to management. [alpfmedical.info]

Without treatment, the infant will die within a few days after birth, but if oxygen can be provided, and the infant receives modern treatment in a neonatal intensive care unit, complete recovery with no after-effects can be expected. [healthofchildren.com]

The prognosis is much better for babies weighing over 1500 g. Prevention Antenatal corticosteroids (dexamethasone) accelerate fetal surfactant production and lung maturation. [patient.info]

Overall, the prognosis for patients with emphysema is poor, with a survival rate for all those with COPD of four years, and even less for emphysema. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Prognosis If an infant born with RDS is not promptly treated, lack of an adequate oxygen supply will damage the body's organs and eventually cause them to stop functioning altogether. Death is the result. [healthofchildren.com]

Prognosis Up to 50% of patients who suffer from a pneumothorax will have another or a recurring pneumothorax. However, there are no long-term complications after successful treatment. [physio-pedia.com]
