Treatment of Tension Cavities with Pneumothorax

I. D. BOBROWITZ M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 Medical Superintendent, Municipal Sanatorium, Otisville, N. Y. (one of the institutions of the Department of Hospitals, City of New York).

Cases illustrating the closure of tension cavities with pneumothorax have been presented. In order to achieve these results the pneumothorax was modified by (a) considerable re-expansion, then increase of collapse; (b) considerable or partial re-expansion, and (c) a small degree of collapse. The relationship of the pneumothorax to the formation and closure of tension cavities has been discussed. The role of the draining bronchus in these processes has been described and emphasized.
