ABSTRACT

Objectives:

This study aimed to examine the frequency, and clinical features of pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum cases in patients admitted to the intensive care unit due to coronavirus disease-19 (COVID- 19) pneumonia.

Methods:

We retrospectively screened the COVID-19 cases hospitalized in our intensive care unit between March 11, 2020, and January 11, 2022. Patients diagnosed as pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum were determined. The frequency and clinical features of pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum were investigated.

Results:

Seven hundred and twenty patients hospitalized in our intensive care unit between March 11, 2020, and January 11, 2022 were screened. Twenty-four (3.3%) patients had pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum. Pneumothorax occurred 17 patients (70%), and pneumomediastinum in 14 patients (58%). The number of patients who developed pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax together was 7 (29%). COVID-19-associated pneumothorax tended to be unilateral (n=16) and right-sided (n=11). In 18 (75%) patients, pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum developed during invasive mechanical ventilation, 5 (20.8%) patients during non-invasive mechanical ventilation. One patient developed pneumothorax when mechanical ventilation was not applied. The mortality rate at 60 days was 75% (n=18) in patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit with COVID- 19 and developed pneumomediastinum or pneumothorax.

Conclusion:

Pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum are complications of COVID-19 pneumonia with high mortality rates. (English) [ FROM AUTHOR] Amaç Bu çalışmada, koronavirüs hastalığı-19 (COVID-19) pnömonisi nedeniyle üçüncü basamak yoğun bakım ünitesine başvuran hastalarda gelişen pnömotoraks ve pnömomediastinum sıklığının ve klinik özelliklerinin incelenmesi amaçlandı. Yöntem Yoğun bakım ünitesinde, 11 Mart 2020 ile 11 Ocak 2022 tarihleri arasında yatan COVID-19 hastaları geriye dönük olarak incelendi, pnömotoraks ve pnömomediastinum tanıları alan hastalar belirlendi. Pnömotoraks ve pnömomediastinum sıklığı ile klinik özellikleri araştırıldı. Bulgular Yoğun bakım ünitesinde 11 Mart 2020 ile 11 Ocak 2022 tarihleri arasında yatan 720 hasta tarandı. Yirmi dört hastanın pnömotoraks veya pnömomediastinum olduğu izlendi (%3,3). On yedi (%70) hastada pnömotoraks, 14 (%58) hastada ise pnömomediastinum izlendi. Pnömomediastinum ve pnömotoraksın birlikte geliştiği hasta sayısı 7 (%29) idi. COVID-19 ile ilişkili pnömotoraks tek taraflı (n=16) ve sağ taraflı olma (n=11) eğiliminde idi. Hastaların 18’i (%75) pnömotoraks veya pnömomediastinum gelişimi sırasında invaziv mekanik ventilasyon, 5’ine (%20,8) noninvaziv mekanik ventilasyon uygulanmaktaydı. Bir hastada mekanik ventilasyon uygulanmıyorken pnömotoraks gelişti. COVID-19 hastalığı ile yoğun bakıma yatan, pnömotoraks veya pnömomediastinum gelişen hastalarda 60. günde ölüm oranı %75 (n=18) idi. Sonuç Pnömotoraks ve pnömomediastinum COVID-19’a bağlı pnömoni hastalarında gelişebilen mortalitesi yüksek komplikasyonlardır.
