Pneumothorax Clinic: Comprehensive Care for Lung Conditions

The pneumothorax clinic at Neumark Surgery is at the forefront of innovative treatments for individuals experiencing lung complications, particularly pneumothorax. Pneumothorax, a condition marked by the presence of air in the pleural space, can cause severe respiratory distress and requires prompt medical attention. Our clinic specializes in diagnosing and treating this condition, ensuring that patients receive the highest quality of care.

Understanding Pneumothorax

Pneumothorax occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall, causing the lung to collapse either partially or completely. This condition can arise from various causes, including:

• Traumatic Injury: Such as fractures or penetrating chest injuries.
• Medical Procedures: Certain medical interventions might inadvertently introduce air into the pleural space.
• Spontaneous Pneumothorax: Occurs without any obvious cause, often in healthy young individuals.
• Lung Diseases: Conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis can increase the risk.

Symptoms of Pneumothorax

Identifying the symptoms of pneumothorax is crucial for timely intervention. Common symptoms include:

• Sudden Chest Pain: Often sharp and worsening with deep breaths.
• Shortness of Breath: A feeling of tightness or difficulty breathing.
• Increased Heart Rate: The body works harder to supply oxygen when lungs are compromised.
• Cyanosis: A bluish tint to lips or fingertips can indicate severe oxygen deprivation.

For larger pneumothoraces or those causing significant symptoms, we may perform:

• Chest Tube Placement: Insertion of a tube to continuously remove air and allow the lung to re-expand.

Surgical Intervention

In recurrent or severe cases, surgical options may be necessary, including:

• Pleurodesis: A procedure that adheres the lung to the chest wall to prevent recurrence.
