| Popis: | Background Little is known regarding the effect of hemorrhagic shock on the diagnosis and treatment of tension pneumothorax (tPTX). Recently, the Tactical Combat Casualty Care guidelines included the 10-gauge angiocatheter (10-g AC) as an acceptable alternative to the 14-g AC. This study sought to compare these two devices for decompression of tPTX and rescue from tension-induced pulseless electric activity (tPEA) in the setting of a concomitant 30% estimated blood volume hemorrhage. Methods Following a controlled hemorrhage, carbon dioxide was insufflated into the chest to induce either tPTX or tPEA. Tension pneumothorax was defined as a reduction in cardiac output by 50%, and tPEA was defined as a loss of arterial waveform with mean arterial pressure less than 20 mm Hg. The affected hemithorax was decompressed using a randomized 14-g AC or 10-g AC while a persistent air leak was maintained after decompression. Successful rescue from tPTX was defined as 80% recovery of baseline systolic blood pressure, while successful return of spontaneous circulation following tPEA was defined as a mean arterial pressure greater than 20 mm Hg. Primary outcome was success of device. Results Eighty tPTX and 50 tPEA events were conducted in 38 adult Yorkshire swine. There were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics between animals or devices. In the tPTX model, the 10-g AC successfully rescued 90% of events, while 14-g AC rescued 80% of events (p = 0.350). In the tPEA model, the 10-g AC rescued 87% of events while the 14 AC rescued only 48% of events (p = 0.006). Conclusion The 10-g AC was vastly superior to the 14-g AC for return of spontaneous circulation following tPEA in the setting of 30% hemorrhage. These findings further support the importance of larger caliber devices that facilitate rapid recovery from tPTX, particularly in the setting of polytrauma. Level of evidence Therapeutic, level II. |
