Case Reports
[Re-expansion pulmonary edema as a complication of a spontaneous pneumothorax drainage--a case review].
Reexpansion pulmonary edema is an iatrogenic complication occurring after reinflation of the collapsed lung of a patient with pneumothorax or fluidothorax. The following risk factors have been associated with reexpansion pulmonary edema: younger age, longer duration of a lung collapse, its large extend and a quick lung reexpansion. We report a case of 26-years-old man. ⋯ Reexpansion pulmonary edema is a rare complication of the chest tube insertion and thoracocentesis because of pneumothorax and fluidothorax. The mortality of reexpansion pulmonary edema reaches up to 20%. Chest tube insertion and thoracocentesis are therapeutic procedures to be performed solely on medical department which can provide artificial lung ventilation.
