Özet
An emergency operation was planned for a patient who developed pneumothorax, subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum, which was thought to develop secondary to acute diverticulitis. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnosis could not be performed before the operation. In COVID-19 infection, it has been reported that pneumonia, pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema could be seen in thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan in addition to classic ground-glass opacities. In this study, a modified closed chest drainage system (CCDS) is presented to prevent COVID-19 aerosolisation in a patient undergoing intraoperative tube thoracostomy.
