Approach to a patient with Difficulty in breathing: A 25-year-old man is brought to the emergency department following a stab wound to the right back. He is complaining of difficulty breathing and severe pain on his right side. His vital signs on arriving are a blood pressure of 140/88 mm Hg, heart rate of 100bpm, respiratory rate of 25/minute with oxygen saturation of 90% by pulse oximetry. While undergoing a chest radiograph, he becomes agitated and develops severe respiratory distress. Vital signs are now blood pressure 80/60 mm Hg, heart rate 125bpm, respiratory rate 40/minute and oxygen saturator of 75% by pulse oximetry. Chest examinant reveals an absence of breath sounds and hyperresonance over the right lung field. Neck examination reveals distended neck veins and tracheal deviation to the left side. TIL Learning outcomes: 1. What is the most likely diagnosis? What X-ray findings support your diagnosis? 2 What structures are commonly involved in injury to the chost wall2 1/2
