Clinical details are given of two patients who developed ipsilateral pulmonary oedema following re-expansion of their spontaneous pneumothoraces by intercostal drainage of air. The possible mechanisms underlying the oedema are discussed, and prior literature is analysed. Reference is made particularly to its predictability and to precautions recommended to minimize the frequency of this potentially fatal complication in the management of spontaneous pneumothorax.

文中给出了两名患者的临床细节，他们在通过肋间排气引流使自发性气胸复张后出现了同侧肺水肿。文中讨论了肺水肿潜在的发病机制，并分析了既往文献。特别提到了其可预测性以及为尽量减少自发性气胸治疗中这种潜在致命并发症的发生频率而推荐的预防措施。
