Abstract

Brain death is characterized by irreversible loss of all brain functions and it is defined as a clinical condition where intracranial circulation stops. Apnea test is one of the tests which is used in the clinical diagnosis of brain death, absence of brain stem reflexes, and as a complement to absence of motor response to painful stimulants. Apnea test is a test which has a high complication rate. Complications such as hypoxia, hypotension, acidosis, cardiac arrhythmia, asystole, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum and pneumoperitoneum may develop during an apnea test. In this case report, a patient with biletarel pneumothorax due to air trapping because of an oxygen cannula blocking the airway.

Özet

Beyin ölümü tüm beyin fonksiyonlarının geri dönüşümsüz kaybı ile karakterize intrakraniyal dolaşımın durduğu klinik bir durum olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Beyin ölümünün klinik teşhisinde, beyin sapı reflekslerinin yokluğu ve ağrılı uyaranlara motor yanıt yokluğunun tamamlayıcısı olarak kullanılan testlerden birisi apne testidir. Apne testi komplikasyon oranı yüksek olan bir testtir. Apne testi esnasında hipoksi, hipotansiyon, asidoz, kardiyak aritmi, asistol, pnömotoraks, pnömomediastinum ve pnömoperitonium gibi komplikasyonlar gelişebilir. Bu olgu sunumunda oksijen kanülünün havayolunu tıkaması sonucu gelişen hava hapsine bağlı bilateral pnömotaraks olgusu sunulmuştur.
