Abstract

In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), many factors, especially barotrauma may cause pneumothorax. Early detection of pneumothorax is critical in ARDS patients. When pneumothorax is suspected, chest radiography is usually preferred as the first line imaging modality. Recently, ultrasonography has been used by intensive care physicians in many fields, even in imaging of pneumothorax. We present a 75-year-old female patient with ARDS complicated by pneumothorax, in whom chest radiography was not diagnostic but ultrasound was used for diagnosis and follow-up.

Özet

Akut respiratuvar distres sendromu (ARDS) olan hastalarda başta barotravma olmak üzere birçok neden pnömotoraks gelişmesine neden olabilir. ARDS’li hastalarda pnömotoraksın erken tanısı kritik önem taşır. Pnömotorakstan şüphelenildiğinde genellikle ilk tanı aracı olarak göğüs radyografisi tercih edilir. Son yıllarda kritik hastada pnömotoraks tanısında ve birçok alanda ultrasonografi yoğun bakım hekimleri tarafından kullanılmaktadır. Burada 75 yaşında ARDS tanılı hastada göğüs radyografisi ile tanı konulamayan ancak tanısında ve takibinde USG kullandığımız pnömotoraks olgusu sunulmuştur.
