Co-occurrence of pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum is rare in COVID-19 patients. Positive airway pressure therapy used to improve oxygenation may sometimes worsen clinical outcomes in some patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. In this case report, we describe an individual who was diagnosed with COVID-19 and developed bilateral pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum after initiating non-invasive positive airway pressure therapy.
气胸和纵隔气肿在新冠肺炎患者中同时出现的情况很少见。用于改善氧合的气道正压通气治疗有时可能会使一些重症新冠肺炎肺炎患者的临床结局恶化。在本病例报告中，我们描述了一名被诊断为新冠肺炎的患者，在开始无创气道正压通气治疗后出现双侧气胸和纵隔气肿。
