Abstract
The study aims to propose management strategies for patients with spontaneous pneumomediastinum comorbid with coronavirus pneumonia. Materials and methods. 70 patients with spontaneous pneumomediastinum comorbid with coronavirus pneumonia were examined. Results. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum often develops in more than 75 % of lung tissue damage. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum occurred in 3.6 % of COVID-19 pneumonia patients admitted to Khanty-Mansiysk District Clinical Hospital. There was no statistical significance in correlation between disease outcomes and patient management strategies (non-surgical or surgical one). Therefore, patients with spontaneous pneumomediastinum associated with COVID-19 pneumonia do not require anterior mediastinum drainage.
