I am currently recovering from a spontaneous pneumothorax. Thank you so very much for the information. It was a super traumatic experience but knowing what needed to get done to help me eases my mind a bit. Thank you again!
So I've been an LPN for 18 years, finishing up my last few weeks of RN school, and these videos are amazing! They are helping me understand the content and put it all together. I have ADD/ADHD and the fact that there isn't a ton of information just slammed on a page, and it writes in different colors as you go, it is literally connecting these ideas in my brain better than anything I've read, listened to or watched before!!
Thank you so much atm I’m lying in my hospital bed with a chest drain tube researching my condition. This video explained everything I needed to know, it may seem a-bit odd but as I get older after spending the first 30years wrecking my body and the last 30 trying to fix it all up again I have come to realise how awesome our bodies are at healing itself
I’ve recently found your channel. It is very well done and easy to understand . I am a 20 year pediatric ICU nurse with my last 11 being in transport (helicopter, airplane and ground). I was doing some review for a chest tube class I have to teach. Needless to say, I haven’t had to set up a chest tube at the bedside in a while. I have had to needle several chests; always a fun procedure, but usually in a very stressful situation! So, it’s time for some review. Your videos are excellent. Thank you!
I'm studying nursing and there's some lessons that i can't understand so every time I don't understand any lesson i watch your videos thanks for sharing your experiences and your informations with us 💗💗
Wow this is so great to hear! Really glad I have been able to help you understand those subjects you've had trouble with. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
All your videos are my resources. You got the best video available for icu nurses ever. Please do one for neuro assessment/ NIHSS scores and it’s importance🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠
Thank you for your video. My family had a pneurothorax surgery recently, but days after the surgery-pneurodesis, he had small pneumothorax again, can he ever recover from this ? he had pneurothorax twice in the other lung five yrs ago . but this time it is a different lung.
thank you Doc for the information, I am currently recovering from a spontaneous pneumothorax. I have a question that Im frankly embarrassed to ask, and that could smoking be the cause of it and could it couse it to return (in case I keep smoking)?
No simply because of the presence of the pneumothorax. If hypoxia and hypercapnia are present and not resolved quickly after chest tube insertion, then adjust may be made to FiO2 and Rate until the lung re-expands. Otherwise, if the pneumothorax is an iatrogenic result of the positive pressure, then adjustments may be made to reduce inspiratory pressures and/or PEEP, but also depends on the patient condition. So, unfortunately not a straight forward answer.
Nicely done as always, but again, in primary, as opposed to tertiary centers, our surgeons for at least a decade place chest tubes with simple Heimlich valves. Now we tend to deal only with spontaneous pneumothorax in tall young men...

Thank you again for another great video. The spontaneous pneumothorax still confuses me though. I know that it’s “spontaneous” but why? I had a very young patient (no medical history) that got a spontaneous pneumothorax and he said he wasn’t doing anything at the time and he just got the chest pain and it turns out he had pneumothorax. What randomly caused it?
Actually most common cause is young tall men. I guess the stretch can lead to weaker spots. I think oftentimes, what makes them spontaneous is us just not knowing the cause. Glad you liked the video though!
Soon to be Internal Medicine resident physician... and hopeful Pulm/Crit fellow in the future. Lovely content. Keep crushing it! I'm sure I'll watch you all through my training.

Wow, thank you so much for this awesome comment Megan. I'm a visual learner myself so I try and keep things visually appealing as it helps me!

Great work. 👍
If the patient is intubated do you make any changes on the ventilator?
No simply because of the presence of the pneumothorax. If hypoxia and hypercapnia are present and not resolved quickly after chest tube insertion, then adjust may be made to FiO2 and Rate until the lung re-expands. Otherwise, if the pneumothorax is an iatrogenic result of the positive pressure, then adjustments may be made to reduce inspiratory pressures and/or PEEP, but also depends on the patient condition.

Pneumothorax..chest tube..... arrange to patient...how many days after chest tube removed... please reply sir????
Nicely done as always, but again, in primary, as opposed to tertiary centers, our surgeons for at least a decade place chest tubes with simple Heimlich valves. Now we tend to deal only with spontaneous pneumothorax in tall young men...
Appreciate that! It is interesting to see how things are done differently and the different patient populations that people come across.
Do I need to worry, I'm currently 28yrs old in the hospital with spontaneous pneumothorax.
Many thanks.
You are welcome!
