Thoracentesis

Curious about thoracentesis? This critical procedure not only helps diagnose and treat pleural effusions and pneumothorax but also provides instant relief and vital insights into lung health. Discover how skilled technique and careful monitoring make a life-saving difference!

Status Asthmaticus

Status asthmaticus is severe and persistent asthma that does not respond to conventional therapy; attacks can occur with little or no warning and can progress rapidly to asphyxiation.

Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary embolism refers to the obstruction of the pulmonary artery or one of its branches by a thrombus that originates somewhere in the venous system or in the right side of the heart.

Pneumothorax

Pneumothorax is one of the disorders of the chest and lower respiratory tract. It occurs when the parietal or visceral pleura is breached and the pleural space is exposed to positive atmospheric pressure.

Patent Ductus Arteriosus

The ductus arteriosus is a fetal blood vessel that connects the pulmonary artery to the descending aorta. In patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), the lumen of the ductus remains open after birth.
