Pneumothorax bilatéral au retrait du cathéter de jet ventilation à haute fréquence

Bilateral asymptomatic pneumothorax in early post-operative period

“…[ 1 ] Pneumothoraces have been reported as a complication of high-frequency jet ventilation. [ 2 ] Tracheal injury during mediastinal or neck surgery has been associated with pneumothorax. [ 3 ] Carbon dioxide pneumothoraces have been reported during laparoscopic surgery.…”

“…Coughing may be a precipitant factor of bullous rupture during MV or when the patient recovers consciousness. [ 2 ] Barlow et al ., investigated 100 patients undergoing tracheotomy and reported a 2% incidence of pneumothoraces, but did not advocate routine chest X-ray following this procedure. [ 6 ] Pneumothorax is often diagnosed in a patient with subcutaneous or mediastinal emphysema, oxygen desaturation, circulatory disturbance, or MV impairment with increase of peak pressure.…”
