Abstract

Spontan hemotoraks, plevral aralıkta travma dışı nedenlerle kan toplanmasıdır. Hemotoraksa yol açan herhangi bir nedenin bulunamadığı olgular ise nadir görülür ve idyopatik spontan hemotoraks olarak adlandırılır. 23 yaşında solda masif hemotoraksı olan erkek hastaya göğüs tüpü takıldı. Drenaj sonrası sol alt lobu atelektatik olan hastanın operasyonla hematomu boşaltıldı ve dekortikasyon uygulandı. Hastada postop dönemde pulmoner reexpansiyon ödemi gelişti. Bu yazıda nadir görülen idyopatik spontan hemotorakslı bir olgunun takip ve tedavi basamakları ile operasyon sonrasında ortaya çıkan pulmoner reekspansiyon ödemi tablosunun klinik süreci sunuldu.
