초록
Neonatal tension pneumothorax is life-threatening. A tension pneumothorax on the right side was detected on a newborn boy weighing 2,380 g, who was born at 35 weeks of gestation. Given the unavailability of an on-duty thoracic surgeon and appropriately sized chest tubes in the neonatal intensive care unit, an emergency physician performed closed thoracostomy using two 7-French latex catheters. Immediately after the re-expansion of the right lung, left tension pneumothorax was newly detected. Two more 7-French latex catheters were inserted, relieving the left lesion. We consider that the right pneumothorax occurred due to the mixture of spontaneous rupture of the subpleural blebs and barotrauma during the initial positive pressure ventilation, while the left lesion did due to the high-flow oscillatory ventilation. Despite the limited availability of devices in the present case, a favorable outcome was achieved by the use of alternative catheters, which were chosen by the emergency physician.
