Introduction
The term pneumothorax was first coined by Itard,
a student of Laennec, in 1803
Laennec described the clinical picture of
pneumothorax in 1819
He described most pneumothoraces as occurring
in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, although
he recognised that pneumothoraces also
occurred in otherwise healthy lungs, a condition
he described as “pneumothorax simple”
2
Introduction
3
The modern description of primary
spontaneous pneumothorax occurring
in otherwise healthy people was
provided by Kjaergard in 1932
Primary pneumothorax remains a
significant global problem
The incidence is 18-28/100 000 per
year for men and
1.2-6/100 000 per year for women
Pneumothorax
4
What is pneumothorax
5
 Pneumothorax is defined as
presence of air or gas in the
pleural space
(OR)
 air between the lung and chest wall,
in other term, air between the
visceral pleura and the parietal
pleura
Blebs and bullae are also known as
emphysema-like changes (ELCs)
The probable cause of pneumothorax
is rupture of an apical bleb or bulla
Because the compliance of blebs or
bullae in the apices is lower compared
with that of similar lesions situated in
the lower parts of the lungs
Pathophysiology
6
7
It is often hard to assess whether
bullae are the site of leakage, and
where the site of rupture of the
visceral pleura is
Smoking causes a 9-fold increase in
the relative risk of a pneumothorax in
females
A 22-fold increase in male smokers
With a dose-response relationship
between the number of cigarettes
smoked per day and occurrence of
Pathophysiology
Mechanism
In normal people, the pressure in
pleural space is negative during the
entire respiratory cycle.
Two opposite forces result in negative
pressure in pleural space.
(outward pull of the chest wall and
elastic recoil of the lung)
The negative pressure will
be disappeared if any communication
develops .
8
When a
communication
develops between an
alveolus or other
intrapulmonary air
space and pleural
space, air will flow
into the pleural space
until there is no
longer a pressure
difference or the
communication is
sealed 9
Pathophysiology
10
Negative pressure eliminated
The lung recoil-& lung-volume decrease
V/Q low –anatomic shunt
hypoxia
Positive pressure
◦ Compress blood vessels and heart
◦ Decreased cardiac output
◦ Impaired venous return
◦ Hypotension
Result in
◦ A decrease in vital capacity
◦ A decrease in PaO2

Primary spontaneous
pneumothorax
It occurs in young healthy individuals
without underlying lung disease.
It is due to rupture of apical
sub-pleural bleb or bullae
Predisposing factors:
 Smoking.
 Tall, thin male.
 Airway inflammation (distal)
 Structural abnormalities of bronchial tree
 Genetic contribution

TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR PSP AND SSP
Observation
O2 treatment
Simple aspiration
Small catheter aspiration
Chest tube drainage/ICD
Thoracoscopy (VAT with blebectomy &
41
 VAT with pleurectomy)
Open (axillary) thoracotomy
Observation - PSP
42
Small, closed mildly symptomatic
spontaneous pneumothorax do not
require hospital admission
It should be stressed to patient that they
should be return directly to hospital in
the event of developing breathlessness.
Observation - SSP
43
Observation alone is only recommend
in patients with small SSP of less than
1 cm depth or
isolated apical pneumothorax in
asymptomatic patients
Hospitalization is recommended in
these cases
All other cases will require active
intervention
(aspiration or chest drain insertion)
Marked breathlessness in a patient with a
small (<2 cm) PSP may develop tension
pneumothorax
Observation is inappropriate and active
intervention is required
If a patient is hospitalised for observation,
supplemental high flow (10 l/min) oxygen
should be given where feasible.
Observation - PSP or SSP
44
O2 TREATMENT-- PSP or
SSP
Inhalation of high concentration of
oxygen may reduce the total pressure of
gases in pleural capillaries by reducing the
partial pressure of nitrogen
This should increase the pressure gradient
between the pleural capillaries and the
pleural cavity
Thereby increasing absorption of air from
the pleural cavity
45
The rate of resolution/reabsorption of
spontaneous pneumothorax is
1.25 – 1.8% of volume of hemithorax
every 24 hours
The addition of high flow oxygen
therapy has been shown to result in a
4-fold increase in the rate of
pneumothorax reabsorption during the
periods of oxygen supplementation
46
Simple aspiration
47
Simple aspiration is recommended as first line
treatment for all PSP requiring intervention
Simple aspiration is less likely to succeed in
secondary pneumothoraces and in this situation,
is only recommended as an initial treatment in
small (<2 cm) pneumothoraces in minimally
breathless patients under the age of 50 years
Patients should be admitted to hospital and
observed for at least 24 hours before discharge.
Repeated aspiration is reasonable for
primary pneumothorax when the first
aspiration has been unsuccessful
A volume of < 2.5 L has been aspirated on
the first attempt
The aspiration can be done by needle or
catheter
48
Catheter aspiration
Intercostal tube drainage
INDICATIONS
◦ Unstable
pneumothorax
◦ Severe dyspnea
◦ Large lung collapse
◦ Open or tension
pneumothorax
◦ Recurrent
pneumothorax
◦ Simple aspiration or
catheter aspiration
drainage is
unsuccessful in
controlling symptoms

insertion is in the
Triangle of safety
midaxillary line of fourth
and sixth intercostal
Intercostal tube drainage
Trocar tube thoracostomy
Insertion of trocar into the pleural space.
51
Trocar tube thoracostomy
Insertion of the chest tube through the
trocar

Operative tube thoracostomy
The physician’s index
finger is used to
enlarge the opening
and to explore the
pleural space
Placement of chest
tube
Intrapleurally using
large hemostat
Observation of drainage
54
No bubble released
◦ The lung re-expansion
◦ The chest tube is obstructed by secretion or blood clot
◦ The chest tube shift to chest wall, the hole of the chest
tube is located in the chest wall
If the lung re expanded, removing the chest tube 24
hours after re expansion.
Otherwise, the chest tube will be inserted again or
regulated the position.
Complications of intercostal tube
drainage
55
Penetration of major organs
◦ Lung, stomach, spleen, liver, heart and great vessels
◦ It occurs more commonly when a sharp metal trocar is
inappropriately applied
Pleural infection
◦ Empyema, the rate of 1%
Surgical emphysema
◦ Subcutaneous emphysema
Chemical pleurodesis
56
Goals
◦ To prevent pneumothorax recurrence
◦ To produce inflammation of pleura and
adhesions
Indications
◦ Persist air leak and repeated pneumothorax
◦ Bilateral pneumothorax
◦ Complicated with bullae
◦ Lung dysfunction, not tolerate to operation
Chemical pleurodesis
Sclerosing agents
◦ Tetracycline
◦ Doxycycline
◦ Talc
◦ Erythromycin
◦ 10% povidine iodine
The instillation of sclerosing agents into the pleural
space lead to an aseptic inflammation with dense
adhesions.
57
Methods
◦ Via chest tube or by surgical mean
◦ Administration of intrapleural local anaesthesia, 200 – 300
mg lidocaine intrapleurally injection
◦ Agents diluted by 60 – 100 ml saline
◦ Injected to pleural space
◦ Clamp the tube 4hours
◦ Drainage again
◦ Observed by chest X-ray film, if air of pleural space is
absorbed, remove the chest tube
◦ If pneumothorax still exist, repeated pleurodesis.
Chemical pleurodesis
58
59
Side effect
◦ Chest pain
◦ Fever
◦ Dyspnea
◦ Acute respiratory distress syndrome
◦ Acute respiratory failure
Chemical pleurodesis
59
Surgical treatment
60
Indications
◦ No response to medical treatment
◦ Persistant air leak
◦ Hemopneumothorax
◦ Bilateral pneumothoraces
◦ Recurrent pneumothorax
◦ Tension pneumothorax failed to drainage
◦ Thickened pleura making lung unable to
reexpand
◦ Multiple blebs or bullae
Thoracoscopy- VATs
61
It is being increasingly used in ot with
recurrent psp-ssp
Recent studies show VATsit may be
the procedure of choice and it has
very less complication when compare
to other open surgery
Pleural belbs causes pneumothorax
which can be treated by a method
called endostapling or
suturefollowed by pleurodeisis
Axillary (open) thoracotomy
Transaxillary minithoracotomy is preferred
.when VATsis not available
Open thotacotomy with suturing of blebs
and pleural abrasion is done

  • 1. Pneumothorax Dr. Sagar Gandhi Resident, Dept. Of Pulmonary Medicine GMCH 1
  • 2. Introduction The term pneumothorax was first coined by Itard, a student of Laennec, in 1803 Laennec described the clinical picture of pneumothorax in 1819 He described most pneumothoraces as occurring in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, although he recognised that pneumothoraces also occurred in otherwise healthy lungs, a condition he described as “pneumothorax simple” 2
  • 3. Introduction 3 The modern description of primary spontaneous pneumothorax occurring in otherwise healthy people was provided by Kjaergard in 1932 Primary pneumothorax remains a significant global problem The incidence is 18-28/100 000 per year for men and 1.2-6/100 000 per year for women
  • 5. What is pneumothorax 5  Pneumothorax is defined as presence of air or gas in the pleural space (OR)  air between the lung and chest wall, in other term, air between the visceral pleura and the parietal pleura
  • 6. Blebs and bullae are also known as emphysema-like changes (ELCs) The probable cause of pneumothorax is rupture of an apical bleb or bulla Because the compliance of blebs or bullae in the apices is lower compared with that of similar lesions situated in the lower parts of the lungs Pathophysiology 6
  • 7. 7 It is often hard to assess whether bullae are the site of leakage, and where the site of rupture of the visceral pleura is Smoking causes a 9-fold increase in the relative risk of a pneumothorax in females A 22-fold increase in male smokers With a dose-response relationship between the number of cigarettes smoked per day and occurrence of Pathophysiology
  • 8. Mechanism In normal people, the pressure in pleural space is negative during the entire respiratory cycle. Two opposite forces result in negative pressure in pleural space. (outward pull of the chest wall and elastic recoil of the lung) The negative pressure will be disappeared if any communication develops . 8
  • 9. When a communication develops between an alveolus or other intrapulmonary air space and pleural space, air will flow into the pleural space until there is no longer a pressure difference or the communication is sealed 9
  • 10. Pathophysiology 10 Negative pressure eliminated The lung recoil-& lung-volume decrease V/Q low –anatomic shunt hypoxia Positive pressure ◦ Compress blood vessels and heart ◦ Decreased cardiac output ◦ Impaired venous return ◦ Hypotension Result in ◦ A decrease in vital capacity ◦ A decrease in PaO2
  • 12. Primary spontaneous pneumothorax It occurs in young healthy individuals without underlying lung disease. It is due to rupture of apical sub-pleural bleb or bullae Predisposing factors:  Smoking.  Tall, thin male.  Airway inflammation (distal)  Structural abnormalities of bronchial tree  Genetic contribution 12

  • 41. TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR PSP AND SSP Observation O2 treatment Simple aspiration Small catheter aspiration Chest tube drainage/ICD Thoracoscopy (VAT with blebectomy & 41  VAT with pleurectomy) Open (axillary) thoracotomy
  • 42. Observation - PSP 42 Small, closed mildly symptomatic spontaneous pneumothorax do not require hospital admission It should be stressed to patient that they should be return directly to hospital in the event of developing breathlessness.
  • 43. Observation - SSP 43 Observation alone is only recommend in patients with small SSP of less than 1 cm depth or isolated apical pneumothorax in asymptomatic patients Hospitalization is recommended in these cases All other cases will require active intervention (aspiration or chest drain insertion)
  • 44. Marked breathlessness in a patient with a small (<2 cm) PSP may develop tension pneumothorax Observation is inappropriate and active intervention is required If a patient is hospitalised for observation, supplemental high flow (10 l/min) oxygen should be given where feasible. Observation - PSP or SSP 44
  • 45. O2 TREATMENT-- PSP or SSP Inhalation of high concentration of oxygen may reduce the total pressure of gases in pleural capillaries by reducing the partial pressure of nitrogen This should increase the pressure gradient between the pleural capillaries and the pleural cavity Thereby increasing absorption of air from the pleural cavity 45
  • 46. The rate of resolution/reabsorption of spontaneous pneumothorax is 1.25 – 1.8% of volume of hemithorax every 24 hours The addition of high flow oxygen therapy has been shown to result in a 4-fold increase in the rate of pneumothorax reabsorption during the periods of oxygen supplementation 46
  • 47. Simple aspiration 47 Simple aspiration is recommended as first line treatment for all PSP requiring intervention Simple aspiration is less likely to succeed in secondary pneumothoraces and in this situation, is only recommended as an initial treatment in small (<2 cm) pneumothoraces in minimally breathless patients under the age of 50 years Patients should be admitted to hospital and observed for at least 24 hours before discharge.
  • 48. Repeated aspiration is reasonable for primary pneumothorax when the first aspiration has been unsuccessful A volume of < 2.5 L has been aspirated on the first attempt The aspiration can be done by needle or catheter 48 Catheter aspiration
