Tension pneumothorax in a large man was inadequately drained by needle thoracocentesis with a 4.5 cm cannula. Unsuccessful needle thoracocentesis of a clinical tension pneumothorax in a large patient should be followed immediately by chest drain insertion, without local anaesthetic, as dictated by clinical urgency. If the clinical situation is still not improved other diagnoses should be considered.
一名体型较大的男性患者发生张力性气胸,使用4.5厘米套管针进行胸腔穿刺抽气引流不充分。对于体型较大的患者,临床诊断为张力性气胸但胸腔穿刺抽气失败后,应根据临床紧急情况,立即在不使用局部麻醉的情况下插入胸腔引流管。如果临床情况仍未改善,则应考虑其他诊断。
