[8][28][29], If the patient is hemodynamically unstable and clinical suspicion is high for pneumothorax, immediate needle decompression must be performed without delay. 1997 Jun. (2004) ISBN:0781736552. Signs and symptoms of tension pneumothorax are usually more impressive than those seen with a simple pneumothorax, and clinical interpretation of these is crucial for diagnosing and treating the condition. Hernandez C, Shuler K, Hannan H, Sonyika C, Likourezos A, Marshall J. This activity reviews the presentation of tension and traumatic pneumothoraces, outlines evaluation and management strategies, and highlights the importance of early intervention and the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and improving care for patients with this condition. Patients with trauma tend to have an associated pneumothorax or tension pneumothorax 20% of the time.
