Objective In the present study, intracranial pressure (ICP) changes were investigated in out-ofhospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients with and without malignant blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption who underwent target temperature management.
Methods This prospective, single-center, observational study was conducted from June 2019 to December 2021. ICP and albumin quotient values were measured on days 1, 2, 3, and 4 of hospitalization. Malignant BBB disruption was defined as the sum of scores for the degree of BBB disruption ≥9 on days 1 to 4.
Results ICP in OHCA patients without malignant BBB disruption on days 1, 2, 3, and 4 of hospitalization was 9.58±0.53, 12.32±0.65, 14.39±0.76, and 13.88±0.87 mmHg, respectively, and in OHCA patients with malignant BBB disruption 13.65±0.74, 15.72±0.67, 16.10±0.92, and 15.22±0.87 mmHg, respectively (P<0.001, P<0.001, P=0.150, and P=0.280, respectively). The P-values of changes in ICP between days 1 and 2, days 2 and 3, and days 3 and 4 of hospitalization in OHCA patients without malignant BBB disruption were P<0.001, P=0.001, and P=0.540, respectively, and in OHCA patients with malignant BBB disruption were P=0.002, P=0.550, and P=0.100, respectively.
Conclusion Among OHCA patients treated with target temperature management, ICP was higher on days 1 and 2 of hospitalization and an increase in ICP occurred earlier with malignant BBB disruption than without malignant BBB disruption.

We report a case of an 83-year-old male patient with massive tuberculous pleural effusion. Percutaneous drainage was performed following a diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy. Fifteen minutes into the procedure, the patient’s condition deteriorated suddenly, necessitating mechanical ventilatory support. A chest radiograph performed after intubation showed partial collapse of the affected lung with pneumothorax. Despite sufficient air drainage and lung expansion, the patient’s oxygen demand remained high. A repeat chest radiograph performed 30 minutes after chest tube insertion revealed partial expansion of the affected lung and severe infiltrative patterns in the unaffected lung, suggesting contralateral reexpansion pulmonary edema.
