We present an EKG monitoring strategy to detect pneumothorax during high‐risk surgery. In the literature, EKG changes and pneumothorax are well‐described. However, anesthesiologists only monitor lead II on a three‐lead EKG system in the operating room. In our case, there was only a subtle change in lead II for a left‐sided pneumothorax, which could have been easily missed. On the contrary, there was a marked QRS amplitude reduction and T wave flattening/inversion in lead I and V5. We recommend lead V5 be added to the continuous monitoring and lead I be periodically checked for surgeries known to potentially cause pneumothorax. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
