➡️ Question
An adult patient who is receiving mechanical ventilation suddenly started showing signs of tachypnea. Upon assessment, you noticed tracheal deviation to the right and decreased breath sounds and hyperresonance on the left side. Which of the following would you recommend?
A. Endotracheal suctioning
B. Flexible bronchoscopy
C. The insertion of a chest tube
D. Thoracentesis
For this question, you needed to be able to interpret the signs and symptoms that were given in the question. And by doing so, you could easily determine that all of the signs are consistent with a pneumothorax. Remember: Patients with a pneumothorax will typically show signs of tracheal deviation away from the affected side. They will also have decreased breath sounds and hyperresonance on the affected side. Therefore, to treat a pneumothorax, you should recommend the immediate insertion of a chest tube on the affected side.
