Artificial Pneumothorax
Therapeutic Collapse of Lung

Presentation

The main concern with air insufflation is air embolism but this was not observed clinically in any of the present cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Moreover, it presents a death from metastatic sarcoma thirteen years after the appearance of the primary bone lesion, an event which seems worthy of emphasis in view of Crowell's recent analysis of the Bone Sarcoma Registry data (5). [cancerres.aacrjournals.org]

    The lung collapses when the air enters the pleural space. Scattered adhesions may afford only a partial collapse. Effusion may occur in about one third of the cases. Hazards include pain, infection, and respiratory distress. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

    A ‘pneumothorax’ is a medical emergency caused by the collapse of a lung within the chest cavity. [www2.warwick.ac.uk]

    In 1822 James Carson originated the concept and principles of inducing a collapse after discovering the elasticity of the lungs in animal experiments. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Collapse therapies include: pneumothorax, phrenic paralysis, and thoracoplasties. [museumofhealthcare.ca]

  • Pain

    The pain assessment scores and complications induced by the artificial pneumothorax were recorded and analyzed by a CT scan follow-up. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    The pain decreased considerably immediately after this procedure. No complication related to the creation of the artificial pneumothorax was observed. Creation of an artificial pneumothorax is a safe and effective method for pain relief. [okayama.pure.elsevier.com]

Treatment

The patients of two groups were all given standard treatments with anti-tuberculous drugs. Treatment group received artificial pneumothorax to help the cure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis

The prognosis for tension pneumothorax is not as good. In this condition, the patient's heart may fail, causing death in a short period of time. Tension pneumothorax must be treated as a medical emergency. [encyclopedia.com]
