Managing Bronchopleural Fistula in Positive Pressure Ventilation

This chapter discusses the management of bronchopleural fistula in positive pressure ventilation. The speakers emphasize the importance of treating the patient rather than just the image, and discuss strategies such as water sealing, limiting inspiratory time, tidal volume, and PEEP to help the lung heal. They also consider upsizing the chest tube and placement of a second small bore chest tube or a larger bore chest tube.
