Article Abstract
Viral bronchiolitis is the most common lower respiratory tract infection in infants and children under the age of 2. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the infecting agent in more than 50% of the cases. Usually the clinical course is uneventful and complications are uncommon. Secondary air leaks are a recognized rare complication of bronchiolitis, although the real incidence remains unknown. We report a case of a 21-month-old female that developed a spontaneous pneumothorax (PNO) with subcutaneous emphysema (SE) late in the course of RSV acute bronchiolitis. Additional investigation ruled out any underlying disease predisposing to spontaneous PNO. Physicians, especially those who work with small children, must be aware of this uncommon complication of bronchiolitis that may appear late in the course of the disease despite an initial clinical improvement.

Emergency Department Accuracy of Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Identifying Clinically Significant Pneumothorax in High-Severity Trauma Patients.
J Emerg Med
July 2025
Department of Emergency Medicine, Renaissance School of Medicine, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, New York.
Background: Thoracic point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an improved modality for detecting pneumothorax (PTX) with high accuracy compared with supine chest x-ray (CXR) study. However, recent research has questioned the sensitivity of POCUS for diagnosis of PTX in trauma patients.
Objective: The authors determined the accuracy of emergency physician (EP) POCUS in identifying clinically significant PTX in high-severity trauma patients based on the red criteria of the 2021 National Expert Panel on Field Triage.

We present the case of an 88-year-old female who presented to the cardiologist's clinic with symptoms of palpitations, dizziness, and fatigue. After cardiac monitoring, the patient was diagnosed with symptomatic bradycardia and required a pacemaker. During the pacemaker implantation procedure, attempts to access the subclavian vein were unsuccessful, and venography revealed severe venous spasm.

Objective: To assess pneumothorax prevalence in neonates across gestational age (GA) categories, identify associated variables, and examine the impact of bubble CPAP (b-CPAP) implementation.
Study Design: A cohort of 58,706 infants born at three hospitals over six years was analyzed, grouped by GA: ≥35 weeks, 29-34 weeks, and ≤28 weeks. Pneumothorax cases were matched with controls, and prevalence before and after b-CPAP adoption was compared.
