Abstract
|
|
|
Re-expansion pulmonary edema following pneumothorax or hemothorax is clinically uncommon but occasionally life threatening. Clinical details are given of two patients. Ipsilateral pulmonary edemae were developed after chest tube insertion due to
spontaneous pneumothorax in case I and after evacuation of postoperative hemothorax in case Ⅱ. The patients were treated with frequent bronchial toilet. The administration of colloid solution and diuretics was effective.
The possible mechanisms underlying the edema are discussed. Both increased time of collapse and suction tended to corielate with reexpansion edema. The present two cases provided evidence for longstanding lung collapse and immediate application
of
suction.
