Özet
In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), many factors, especially barotrauma may cause pneumothorax. Early detection of pneumothorax is critical in ARDS patients. When pneumothorax is suspected, chest radiography is usually preferred as the first line imaging modality. Recently, ultrasonography has been used by intensive care physicians in many fields, even in imaging of pneumothorax. We present a 75-year-old female patient with ARDS complicated by pneumothorax, in whom chest radiography was not diagnostic but ultrasound was used for diagnosis and follow-up.
