Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can occur during the treatment of several diseases and in several interventional procedures as a complication. It is a difficult situation to handle and special care should be applied to the patients. Mechanical ventilation is used for these patients and several parameters are changed constantly until compliance is achieved. However, a complication that is observed during the application of positive airway pressure is pneumothorax. In our current work we will present definition and causes of pneumothorax in the setting of intensive care unit (ICU). We will identify differences and similarities of this situation and present treatment options.
急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)可在多种疾病的治疗过程中以及多种介入性操作中作为并发症发生。这是一种难以处理的情况,应特别注意患者。这些患者使用机械通气,不断改变几个参数,直到达到顺应性。然而,在应用正压通气时观察到的一种并发症是气胸。在我们目前的工作中,我们将介绍重症监护病房(ICU)中气胸的定义和原因。我们将确定这种情况的异同,并提出治疗选择。
