Understanding Open Pneumothorax

Open pneumothorax, also known as a "sucking chest wound," is a serious medical condition that occurs when the lung is punctured or injured, allowing air to enter the chest cavity. This condition can result from various causes, including trauma, accidents, or surgical complications. Immediate medical attention is crucial to prevent further complications and ensure a successful recovery.

Treatment Options

1. Emergency Care

In cases of open pneumothorax, immediate emergency care is vital. The primary objective is to stabilize the patient's condition and prevent further lung collapse. Emergency medical professionals will often apply an occlusive dressing or a chest seal to cover the wound and seal it from the outside environment. This technique helps to minimize the entry of air into the chest cavity while allowing for proper breath exhalation.

2. Thoracostomy

Thoracostomy is a procedure commonly used to treat open pneumothorax. This surgical intervention involves the insertion of a chest tube into the chest wall to drain excess air and fluid from the pleural space. The chest tube helps to reinflate the lung and restore proper breathing functionality. At Neumark Surgery, our skilled plastic surgeons perform thoracostomy with precision and care, ensuring optimal outcomes for our patients.

3. Surgical Repair

In cases where the injury or puncture is severe, surgical repair may be necessary. Our team of expert plastic surgeons specializes in open pneumothorax surgical repair, utilizing advanced techniques and innovative surgical procedures to address the specific needs of each patient. Surgical repair aims to repair the damaged lung tissue and remove any obstructions, allowing for proper lung function and minimizing the risk of complications.
