Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video
Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes condition of Tension Pneumothorax, the signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.
Tension pneumothorax is a life threatening condition in which air leaks outside of the lung and the air is trapped between the pleura and the lung. It is a medical emergency.
Air leaks outside the lung into the pleural cavity. The air is trapped between the pleura and the lung. The air in the pleural space cannot exit. This prevents expansion of the lung and oxygenation. The condition leads to hypoxia and cardiopulmonary collapse.
The patient will have acute unilateral chest pain, dyspnea, respiratory distress, tachypnea and tachycardia. The patient will also have unilateral decreased or absent breath sounds.
As air pushes against the lung it deviates the trachea to the other side.
Treatment is needle decompression. Insert the needle in the 2nd intercostal space, mid clavicular line. Followed by insertion of chest tube.
