Source sentences:
text: Pneumothorax may also be described as either a simple pneumothorax, without effects on the heart or mediastinal structures, or as a tension pneumothorax, which is a life-threatening condition.
text: Tension pneumothorax is a medical emergency that, if not readily diagnosed and treated, is likely to be fatal.
text: tension pneumothorax A life-threatening emergency caused by air under pressure in the pleural space due to a one-way valve mechanism, which allows increased entry of air and eventually complete lung collapse on the affected side, accompanied by mediastinal shift of thoracic organs (heart, trachea, oesophagus) and great vessels towards the unaffected side of the chest, and compression of the opposite lung with compromise in the return flow of blood to the heart.
text: All types of pneumothorax have the potential to become a tension pneumothorax, which is life-threatening and must be recognised and treated in a timely manner.
text: A pneumothorax that results in pleural pressures that exceed atmospheric pressure can produce tension pneumothorax, a life-threatening event.
text: A tension pneumothorax is a life-threatening situation.
text: Tension pneumothorax is rapidly lethal because the increasing intrathoracic pressure eventually displaces mediastinal structures, which can interfere with venous return to the heart, causing cardiovascular collapse and shock.
text: The so-called tension pneumothorax is particularly dangerous: It allows air into the pleural space through a 1-way valve mechanism but does not let it escape again.
text: A tension pneumothorax should always be a clinical diagnosis as any delay in treatment can be life threatening.
text: Tension pneumothorax is a rapidly lethal condition in which a damaged lung, bronchus, or bronchiole allows air to enter the chest cavity.
text: Tension pneumothorax is a life-threating process that needs emergent treatment.
text: Both tension pneumothorax and bilateral pneumothorax are potentially life-threatening events that require chest drain insertion.
text: A tension pneumothorax is a life-threatening condition and requires immediate action (eg, needle thoracostomy or chest tube insertion).
text: In a traumatic pneumothorax, medical personnel are careful to cover open chest wounds, as they can lead to a tension pneumothorax, which is a life-threatening condition.
text: Tension pneumothorax is a life-threatening condition that can occur with chest trauma and is more likely to happen with trauma involving an opening in the chest wall.
text: A tension pneumothorax is a life-threatening condition caused by air within the pleural space that is under pressure; displacing mediastinal structures and compromising cardiopulmonary function.
text: A tension pneumothorax is a life-threatening condition and requires immediate action (eg, needle thoracostomy or chest tube insertion).
text: Tension pneumothorax is a life-threatening condition that can occur with chest trauma and is more likely to happen with trauma involving an opening in the chest wall.
text: These are relative contraindications, however, because tension pneumothorax is a life-threatening condition, and failure to treat expectantly can result in patient death.
text: Surgical Therapy Tension pneumothorax is a life-threatening condition that demands urgent management.
text: Tension pneumothorax, being a life-threatening condition, requires urgent addressing.
text: Tension pneumothorax is a potentially life-threatening condition that medical professionals must treat as a medical emergency.
text: Tension pneumothorax is a potentially life-threatening condition, due to restriction of venous return, and respiratroy and cardiac shock.
text: Tension pneumothorax can rapidly be fatal.
text: Tension pneumothorax is a severe condition that should be promptly treated because it can be fatal within a short time.
text: A tension pneumothorax, or a collapsed lung that presses on structures surrounding the heart, is a medical emergency and can be fatal without treatment.
text: A tension pneumothorax is a life-threatening emergency.
text: Tension pneumothorax is a life-threatening emergency that requires instant action.
text: A tension pneumothorax is life-threatening because it results in a sudden rise in intrathoracic pressure which reduces venous return to the heart and ultimately causes cardiac arrest.
text: A tension pneumothorax is a life-threatening event that requires immediate treatment.
text: A tension pneumothorax is a life-threatening situation.
