- Title
Changes in Intrathoracic Impedance from a Pneumothorax: Insights from an Implanted Monitoring System.
- Authors

- Abstract
The measurement of transthoracic impedance is now possible using new implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. This can be used to monitor fall in impedance associated with increasing pulmonary oedema. We describe a case of a large rapid increase of impedance and dyspnoea related to a pneumothorax.
