A team at the Technical University of Munich has created a high-tech robotic tool designed to step in during critical moments, like when someone’s lung fails. The device is an advanced robot arm ...

Any of these types of pneumothorax can turn into a tension pneumothorax. This is caused by a leak in the pleural space that resembles a one-way valve. As a person inhales, the air leaks into the ...

Tension pneumothorax remains a critical, life-threatening complication in trauma care, arising when air accumulates under pressure in the pleural cavity. Effective management requires rapid ...

which prevents progression to potentially life-threatening tension pneumothorax and obstructive shock. To ensure pneumothoraxes are not missed, clinicians should have a low threshold to evaluate ...

"For example, open and tension pneumothorax are in serious conditions that the more powerful under water-chest-drainage is preferred. While the wound in the closed pneumothorax is closed and the ...

September 18, 2012 — With trauma patients, it is traditional to decompress tension pneumothorax by quickly inserting a needle at the second intercostal space (ICS) in the midclavicular line.

This condition was present in one of our tuberculous patients with a tension pneumothorax, and underwater drainage was instituted, with considerable relief of dyspnea. The disposition, which is ...

Will there be time to place a tourniquet? Will there be a reason to take action on a tension pneumothorax patient in the field? Can a non-medic under the pressure of time, distractions and ...

To the Editor: The purpose of this communication is to alert the reader to a serious hazard designed into the early models of the "Hope" resuscitator (manufactured by Ohio Chemical and Surgical ...
