Pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum are life-threatening conditions especially in critically ill patients. One of the most common situations in which they occur is prolonged invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation with high end-expiratory pressure. Probably due to the high number of patients with SARS-CoV-2 respiratory infection being treated with mechanical ventilation, increasing number of pulmonary barotrauma cases have been reported.

Invasive mechanical ventilation strategies, adjuvants treatments and adverse events among ICU patients with COVID-19 in Denmark.
Acta Anaesthesiol Scand
February 2025
Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Kolding Hospital, Denmark.
Aim: To describe the use of invasive mechanical ventilation core strategies, adjuvant treatments and the occurrence of barotrauma and prolonged ventilation in ICU patients with COVID-19 in Denmark, retrospectively.
Methods: All ICUs admitting COVID-19 patients in Denmark from 10 March 2020 to 2 April 2021 were invited to participate. All patients with COVID-19 who received invasive mechanical ventilation were included and data was retrospectively collected from electronic patient records.

Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary airway dystrophy (PAD) is a rare condition that can be either inherited or developed, with limited research on how air pressure changes during airplane trips or high-altitude situations impact it.
- Studies indicate that all PAD cases have been linked to accidents during exposure to varying air pressures, necessitating careful consideration of each individual case to tailor recommendations based on the disease's origin and severity.
- Establishing a register for cases of barotrauma in individuals with cystic lung disease or pulmonary bullae related to PAD could provide valuable insights and improve patient management.
Delayed-Onset Arterial Gas Embolism After Underwater Egress Training.
Aerosp Med Hum Perform
November 2024
Background: Arterial gas embolism (AGE) may occur while breathing compressed air and failing to exhale during ascent to compensate for gas expansion as pressure decreases. Trauma to the lungs from over-pressurization may result in air bubbles entering the pulmonary veins and subsequently the systemic circulation, causing obstructed blood flow and inflammatory cascades. AGEs are known to always manifest within 10 min of surfacing from depth.

Background: Patients receiving intraoperative ventilation during general anesthesia often have low end-tidal CO (etCO). We examined the association of intraoperative etCO levels with the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in a conveniently-sized international, prospective study named 'Local ASsessment of Ventilatory management during General Anesthesia for Surgery' (LAS VEGAS).
Methods: Patients at high risk of PPCs were categorized as 'low etCO' or 'normal to high etCO' patients, using a cut-off of 35 mmHg.
Recruitment maneuvers in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome: a systematic review and metanalysis.
Einstein (Sao Paulo)
December 2024
Centro Universitário Nobre, Feira de Santana, BA, Brazil.
Objective: To systematically review the effects of recruitment maneuvers on patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis using the PICO methodology with keywords (respiratory distress syndrome, recruitment maneuvers, lung recruitment, acute respiratory distress syndrome, alveolar recruitment, and adult acute respiratory distress syndrome). Studies involving patients >18 years, regardless of sex, with acute respiratory distress syndrome, mechanically ventilated for at least 24 h, published in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, with no year restrictions, were included.
