Overview

The secondary mode of prevention of pneumomediastinum is to prevent recurrence or malignant cases with proper follow ups and treatment of underlying mediacal condition causing pneumomediastinum.

Secondary Prevention

Secondary modes of preventing pneumomediastinum include:[1][2][3]

  • In case of spontaneous pneumomediastinum without any complications, patients are required to be hospitalized for 24 hours for observational purposes.
  • Regular follow-ups are required to avoid recurrence or development of malignant pneumomediastinum.
  • Keep medical condition, which may progress to pneumomediastinum such as asthma, COPD, mediastinitis or pneumonia under control with proper medical therapy.[4][5][6][7][8]
