How to Treat Traumatic Pneumothorax
The Western Association of Trauma Numuth-Thorax algorithm is based on cardiopulmonary status. If you suspect that the pneumothorax is causing any significant hemodynamic or physiological abnormality, place a chest tube. They recommend one dose of pre-procedural antibiotics, but the evidence is weak and you probably only need to give antibiotics if it's a penetrating trauma victim. There are only five spots left for podcast camp at my online medical education podcast production course in December. The rebel himself, Salim Raze will be our keynote speaker.
