A Case of Life-Threatening Contralateral Tension Pneumothorax during Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery in a Patient with Retrosternal Goiter.
Abstract: We report a case of a 74-year-old female with a retrosternal goiter undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for a left lung lower lobectomy, necessitating one-lung ventilation (OLV). We encountered a highly unusual complication: contralateral tension pneumothorax. Forty-five minutes into the surgical procedure, a sudden cardiovascular collapse occurred. After confirming the correct positioning of the double-lumen tube and excluding mediastinal mass syndrome (MMS), tension pneumothorax was suspected. Immediate needle decompression followed by right chest tube thoracostomy resulted in a successful patient outcome. This case highlights the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for contralateral tension pneumothorax in patients with sudden cardiovascular collapse during OLV.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia (ACA) is the official journal of the Indian Association of Cardiovascular Thoracic Anaesthesiologists. The journal is indexed with PubMed/MEDLINE, Excerpta Medica/EMBASE, IndMed and MedInd. The journal’s full text is online at www.annals.in. With the aim of faster and better dissemination of knowledge, we will be publishing articles ‘Ahead of Print’ immediately on acceptance. In addition, the journal would allow free access (Open Access) to its contents, which is likely to attract more readers and citations to articles published in ACA. Authors do not have to pay for submission, processing or publication of articles in ACA.
