Treatment
• Observation: tire pneumothorax, or pneumothorax case of small-scale
• Aspiration: pneumothorax may be solved, the action can be repeated. In case of complete or tension pneumothorax is applicable only in medical first aid.
• Drainage (thoracentesis): This is the main therapeutic procedure in the treatment of pneumothorax. In 80-90% of cases lead to a cure
• Surgery: 10-20% of the patients so they can achieve the healing process, which may thoracotomy / VATS. Surgery is indicated for: (1) if neither expands the lungs during treatment intake for 48-72 hours; (2) if the drain was inserted through the 24 hours is too long-term flow is observed; (3) if hemopneumothorax was observed and the rate of major bleeding or is not reduced; (4) other vital organ injury, or a reasonable suspicion; (5) recurrent pneumothorax

Empyaema thoracis
![Page 29: Pleural effusion, pneumothorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012014/6158ef87441cca746a45f851/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Staging 1. exudative stage: 24-72 hours – inflamation of pleura and
enhanced permeability of blood vessels, clear pleural effusion develops a low white blood cell count
2. fibrinopurulent stage: 7-10 days - fibrin in the pleural space -> septa, the denser the liquid, turbid, white blood cell count increases Indicating the presence of anaerobic bacterial metabolism of the exudate shows a decrease in pH and glucose combined with high LDH activity
3. organised stage: 2-4 weeks - fibroblasts infiltrate in the pleural space, the thin intrapleural membranes thicken, become inelastic. This rigid fibrous sheath inhibits lung to expand and reduce the respiratory function and difficult to cure infections.
![Page 30: Pleural effusion, pneumothorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012014/6158ef87441cca746a45f851/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Etiology 1. Parapneumonic effusion 2. Haematogenous spread into pleural space 3. Iatrogenic infection of the pleural space
(thoracocentesis) 4. Postoperative (pulmonary, cardiac, abdominal,
urological) 5. Descending oropharyngeal infection 6. Mediastinal infection ( oesophageal perforation) 7. Chest wall and spine infection 8. Traumatic penetrating injury
![Page 31: Pleural effusion, pneumothorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012014/6158ef87441cca746a45f851/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Bacteriology
• most common Streptococcus milleri, Sterptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus
• most common in nosocomial infection: Klebsiella, Proteus, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, MRSA
• fungal empyema is most common in immunosuppressive conditions
![Page 32: Pleural effusion, pneumothorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012014/6158ef87441cca746a45f851/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Symptoms
• acute state: septic-toxic symptoms
• chronic state: improving the general condition; often been without a fever; laboratory abnormalities get better; cardiopulmonary capacity reduced; chest pain; cough; dyspnoe
![Page 33: Pleural effusion, pneumothorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012014/6158ef87441cca746a45f851/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Therapy • 1st stage:
- pleural drainage - targeted antibiotic therapy - additional treatment (diet, vitamins, roboration, symptomatic therapy)
• 2nd stage: - drainage and lavage - early decortication, lavage, debridement (VATS / thoracotomy)
- fibrinolysis (streptokinase), • 3rd stage:
- decortication (VATS / thoracotomy) - if the decorticatio not feasible, residual empyema cavity remains fenestration ("open window" chest training window)

Fenestration
![Page 35: Pleural effusion, pneumothorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012014/6158ef87441cca746a45f851/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Fenestration
![Page 36: Pleural effusion, pneumothorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012014/6158ef87441cca746a45f851/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Haemothorax
![Page 37: Pleural effusion, pneumothorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012014/6158ef87441cca746a45f851/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Etiology
• most often injuries of the chest of the bleeding in the chest wall and blood vessels, lungs, heart and major blood vessels or damage to the diaphragm.
• iatrogenic hemothorax: most common reasons for central venous cannulation,drainage, pleurabiopsy, transthoracic pulmonarybiopsy,
• spontaneous hemothorax: rare disease
![Page 38: Pleural effusion, pneumothorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012014/6158ef87441cca746a45f851/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Symptoms
• vascular symptoms caused by blood pooling exacerbated respiratory deterioration due to compression atelectasis
• young, otherwise healthy patients - eg. In case of accident caused by acute hemothorax - a relatively greater blood loss symptoms can be surprisingly poor for a while
![Page 39: Pleural effusion, pneumothorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012014/6158ef87441cca746a45f851/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Diagnosis
• anamnesis
• physical examination
• often in connection with pneumothorax accident mechanism, subcutaneous emphysema can be detected
• X-ray examination shows the effusion, possible pneumothorax, mediastinal throughput rate, rib fractures, etc.
• puncture
![Page 40: Pleural effusion, pneumothorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012014/6158ef87441cca746a45f851/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Therapy
• bed rest, routing: less than 500 ml in case of hemothorax; lower-grade fever may accompany absorption; Duration: 1-2 weeks
• puncture: partly diagnostic and partly for therapeutic purposes; First get the medical care have a role (diagnosis, relief)
• drainage: if more than 1000 ml hemothorax; Advantages: (1) improved evacuation, (2) constant control bleeding, (3) faster than expected, fewer complications
• VATS exploration: a causative diagnosis and the severity of the bleeding to clarify
• thoracotomy is indicated when (1) vascular, lung, heart, diaphragm injury there is a reasonable suspicion; (2) from the drain strong non damped bleeding (more than 100 ml / h).
![Page 41: Pleural effusion, pneumothorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012014/6158ef87441cca746a45f851/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Chylothorax
![Page 42: Pleural effusion, pneumothorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012014/6158ef87441cca746a45f851/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Etiology 1. congenital chylothorax 2. spontaneous chylothorax: no demonstrable
cause in the background 3. secondary chylothorax
- accident: thoracic duct or inferiority branch injury - malignant lung or mediastinal tumor: a rare - postoperative - after central venous catheter insertion left subclavian vein thrombosis
![Page 43: Pleural effusion, pneumothorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012014/6158ef87441cca746a45f851/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Symptoms • general symptoms of thoracic effusions
(pleural, cardiac, respiratory)
• after a long period of time corresponding significant fat and protein as lost serious consequences
![Page 44: Pleural effusion, pneumothorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012014/6158ef87441cca746a45f851/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Diagnostic • anamnesis • physical examination • lab test • X-ray • puncture test: chylus viscous, cream color and
consistency, fats, triglycerides, high in protein, high specific gravity (> 1016), usually sterile, odourless liquid with a pH greater than 7.5.
• (A pseudochylus pathogen protein and usually rich in fat, viscous, white fluid in the chest.)
![Page 45: Pleural effusion, pneumothorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012014/6158ef87441cca746a45f851/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Therapy • pleural drainage
• low-fat diet and protein, electrolytes and fluids replacement
• sometimes the sustained sucking chest also comes into play, although it is rarely a permanent solution
• in case of postoperative chylothorax drainage should be considered in addition to the long-term possibility of surgery as well (the thoracic duct and ligation visit to the site of injury)
![Page 46: Pleural effusion, pneumothorax - Semmelweis Egyetem](https://reader030.vdocuments.pub/reader030/viewer/2022012014/6158ef87441cca746a45f851/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Prognosis • definitely wrong • developed cancer as a result of chylothorax
worsen due to the underlying disease already bad prognosis
• „spontaneous" chylothorax mortality is around 50%, with significant amounts of fat, protein, fluid and electrolyte loss
• intravenous nutrition favorably affect the prognosis
• after successful surgery, the patient can heal, although recurrences are common
