Article Synopsis
- An 83-year-old male was diagnosed with massive tuberculous pleural effusion and underwent percutaneous drainage.
- During the procedure, his condition worsened rapidly, requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation due to complications including pneumothorax.
- Follow-up imaging indicated partial lung expansion but also showed severe infiltrative patterns in the opposite lung, indicating potential reexpansion pulmonary edema.
Background: Rapid disease progression in neuroemergencies is associated with blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption. We investigated a less invasive strategy for assessing BBB status by evaluating S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) at early stages of the hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) cascade.
Methods: This retrospective study used prospectively collected data from patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (August 2019-July 2021).
