Abstract: The disclosure is directed to intrapleural air leak detection and monitoring. According to various embodiments of the disclosure, an air leak may be detected utilizing at least one sensor to determine whether fluid extracted from a pleural cavity of a patient includes carbon dioxide and/or a second substance. The second substance may be a foreign substance inhaled by the patient to confirm presence of the air leak. The air leak may be further monitored over a period of time by collecting temporally successive measurements associated with detected concentrations of carbon dioxide. Therefore, tissue damage and recovery may be assessed according to objectively collected criteria.

Abstract translation: 本公开涉及胸膜内漏气检测和监测。 根据本公开的各种实施例，可以利用至少一个传感器检测空气泄漏，以确定从患者的胸膜腔中提取的流体是否包含二氧化碳和/或第二物质。 第二物质可以是由患者吸入的外来物质以确认空气泄漏的存在。 通过收集与检测到的二氧化碳浓度相关的时间上连续的测量，可以在一段时间内进一步监测空气泄漏。 因此，可以根据客观收集的标准来评估组织损伤和恢复。
