Travmatik Tansiyon Pnömoperikardiyum

Year 2012, Volume: 3 Issue: 2, 66 - 67, 01.04.2012

Abstract

Tansiyon pnömoperikardiyum nadir ve penetran veya künt toraks
travması sonucu hayati tehdit edici bir durumdur. Kırk dört
yaşındaki erkek hasta bir binanın beşinci katından düşme sonucu
hemorajik şok, pnömotoraks ve pnömoperikardiyum, retroperitoneal
kanama, pelvik ve alt ekstremite kırıklarının oluşturduğu majör
travma tablosundaydı. Toraks bilgisayarlı tomografisinde çok
sayıda kot kırığı, sternum kırığı, sağ hemopnömotoraks, perikardiyal
kese içinde masif hava görünümü ve cilt altı amfizem rapor
edildi. Pnömoperikardiyum genellikle kendini sınırlayıcıdır ancak
kardiyak tamponada neden olan tansiyon pnömoperikardiyuma
ilerleyebilir. Pnömotoraksın eşlik ettiği pnömoperikardiyum vakaları
için pnömotoraksın drenajı başlangıç tedavisi olabilir. Ancak,
dirençli hipotansiyonu olan hastalar için acil perikardiyosentez
gerekebilir. Acil servis doktorları, şok ile beraber olan toraks travmasının
ayırıcı tanısında bu nadir tanıyı düşünmeli ve tedavi seçeneklerini
bilmelidir.

Traumatic Tension Pneumopericardium

Abstract

Tension pneumopericardium is a rare and life threatening condition which results from either penetrating or blunt thorax trauma. A 44-year-old man, who fell from the fifth floor of a building, had major trauma that consisted with hemorrhagic shock, pneumothorax and pneumopericardium, retroperitoneal hemorrhage, pelvic and lower extremity fractures. Multiple costal fractures, sternal fracture, right hemopneumothorax, massive air in the pericardial sac and diffuse subcutaneous emphysema were reported in the chest computed tomography. Pneumopericardium is usually self–limited but can progress into tension pneumopericardium causing cardiac tamponade. The drainage of pneumothorax could be the initial procedure in case of pneumothorax associated with pneumopericardium. However, emergent pericardiocentesis can be required for patients with resistant hypotension. Emergency physicians should consider this rare entity for the differential diagnosis of thorax trauma with shock and be familiar with its treatment options
