Symptoms of Tension Pneumothorax

Tension pneumothorax is a serious medical emergency that requires immediate attention. Patients may experience severe chest pain, shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, and low blood pressure. In advanced cases, the skin may appear bluish due to lack of oxygen.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

At Neumark Surgery, our healthcare professionals utilize state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques to identify tension pneumothorax accurately. This may involve chest X-rays, CT scans, and physical examination to assess the extent of lung collapse and the presence of air in the pleural space.

Treatment Options

Effective treatment of tension pneumothorax often involves immediate intervention to relieve pressure on the affected lung and restore normal breathing. At Neumark Surgery, our team employs a multidisciplinary approach to provide the best possible care for our patients.

Needle Decompression

In cases of tension pneumothorax, emergency needle decompression may be performed to release trapped air from the pleural space. This procedure helps to alleviate pressure on the lung and allows for improved breathing capacity.

Chest Tube Insertion

For more severe cases, the insertion of a chest tube may be necessary to drain excess air and prevent the recurrence of tension pneumothorax. Our skilled medical professionals at Neumark Surgery are adept at performing this procedure safely and effectively.

Advanced Interventions

In complex situations where tension pneumothorax is recurrent or refractory to standard treatments, advanced medical interventions such as surgical repair or pleurodesis may be considered. These specialized procedures aim to address the underlying cause of the condition and promote long-term healing.
