Pathological physiology of bilateral pneumothorax
In Book I of "Chir. Veliaminov's Archive" for 1915 in the article: "Is life possible in bilateral pneumothorax?" I quoted a number of authoritative representatives of physiology and clinic (Landois, Nagel, Verigo, Sauerbruch, Fraentzel), unanimously considering bilateral pneumothorax as an extremely acute and certainly lethal pathological process. To these names I could add the name of Rosenthal and many others. On the other hand, clinical casuistry is quite rich in cases of undoubtedly bilateral pneumothorax, which not only was not followed by immediate death, but often ended in complete recovery. This leads to the conclusion that in the contradiction of clinical observations to the data of the physiological statement there is some gap, which can be eliminated only by a carefully conducted experiment.
