Suspected Pneumothorax

Suspected Air Space Disease:- Cardiogenic Pulmonary Oedema, ARDS, Pneumonia / Consolidation, Tumour / Mass, Atelectasis

Monitoring & Prognostic:

Mechanical Ventilation:

  • Lung Recruitment Strategies
  • Failure to Wean

Disease Progression:

  • Pneumothorax
  • Effusion
  • Air Space Disease

Fluid Tolerance – eg FALLS Protocol
