ABSTRACT

Objective:

Pneumothorax may develop secondary to alveolar damage and barotrauma in Covid- 19 patients. In this study, in the light of the literature. we aimed to present Covid-19 patients who developed pneumothorax among whom we followed up in the intensive care unit.

Methods:

Eleven patients among 2680 patients tested positive for Covid-19 in the PCR test and developed pneumothorax in the radiologic examination were included in the study. The data were obtsined from patient follow-up forms and electronic medical records. Demographic data, blood and biochemical parameters, blood culture results, time and location of development of pneumothorax, modality, and duration of pneumothorax treatment, and mortality data were recorded.

Results:

The frequency of development of pneumothorax was found to be 0.41%. The most common complaint was dyspnea. Comorbidiites were observed in 9 (81.8%) patients and the most common comorbidity was hypertension. It was determined that 3 (27.2%) patients did not smoke, 4 patients(36.3%) were active smokers, and 4 (36.3%) patients were ex-smokers. The mean age was 69±14.8 years, the APACHE II score were 18.8±8.7, the female/male ratio was 3/8, and the the time to pneumothorax development was 10.7±11.8 days. Pneumothorax developed in 3 (27.27%) patients on noninvasive mechanical ventilation and 8 (72.7%) patients on invasive mechanical ventilation. The mean length of stay in the intensive care unit was 21.6±26.5 days. It was found that 10 (90.9%) patients died and the mean time to mortality was 19.5±27.0 days.

Conclusion:

In Covid-19 infection, lung protective ventilation strategies should be adopted and it should be known that the development of pneumothorax is a late complication that increases mortality and morbidity.

Bu çalışmada, yoğun bakım ünitesinde takip ettiğimiz Covid-19 hastalarından pnömotoraks gelişenlerini literatür eşliğinde sunmayı amaçladık. Yöntem Çalışmaya PCR testi pozitif olduğu saptanan 2.680 hastadan radyolojik olarak pnömotoraks geliştiği belirlenen 11 hasta dahil edildi. Veriler hasta takip formları ve elektronik tıbbi kayıtlardan alındı. Demografik veriler, tam kan ve biyokimyasalparametreleri, kan kültür sonuçları, pnömotoraks gelişim zamanı ve lokasyonu, pnömotoraks tedavi şekli, mortalite ve süresi kaydedildi. Bulgular Pnömotoraks gelişme sıklığı %0,41 bulundu. En sık başvuru yakınmasının dispne olduğu saptandı. Dokuz (%81.8)hastada comorbidite olduğu ve en sık gözlenen comorbiditenin hipertansiyon olduğu görüldü. Üç (%27,2) hastanın sigara kullanmadığı, 4(%36,3) hastanın aktif sigara içicisi olduğu ve 4 (%36.3) hastanın sigarayı bıraktığı saptandı. Hastaların yaş ortalamaları 69±14,8 yıl, APACHE II skor ortalamaları 18,8±8,7, kadın/erkek oranı 3/8 ve pnömotoraks gelişene 10,7±11,8 gün bulundu. Üç hastada (%27.27) noninvaziv mekanik ventilasyonda ve 8 hastada (%72,7) invaziv mekanik ventilasyondayken pnomotoraks geliştiği saptandı. Yoğun bakım ünitesinde ortalama kalma süresi 21,6±26,5 gündü. On (%90,9) hastanın eks olduğu ve eks olana kadar ortalama 19,5±27,0 gün geçtiği saptandı. Sonuç Covid-19 infeksiyonu sırasında hipoksemi tedavi edilirken, akciğer koruyucu ventilasyon stratejileri benimsenmeli ve pnömotoraks gelişiminin mortalite ve morbiditeyi arttıran geç dönem komplikasyon olduğu bilinmelidir.
