Air Leak Syndrome (ALS)

Target: ALS
Molecular classification: Other

Overview

An air leak occurs when air moves from a cavity where it is normally found into spaces where it is not, potentially causing respiratory distress and other complications. This can lead to conditions such as pneumothorax, where air enters the pleural space around the lungs, or pneumoperitoneum, where air enters the abdominal cavity.

Other names: Air Leak SyndromePneumothoraxPneumopericardiumPneumoperitoneum

Mechanism of action

Various treatments aim to resolve air leaks, such as chest tube drainage or surgery
