Traumatic subcutaneous emphysema - what does this mean

Traumatic subcutaneous emphysema is a condition that occurs when air is forced into the soft tissue beneath the skin, usually as a result of trauma such as a blunt force injury or a surgical procedure. this can cause the skin to become swollen and tender, and may also cause a crackling sensation due to the presence of air.

What happens during the disease - traumatic subcutaneous emphysema

Traumatic subcutaneous emphysema occurs when air is forced into the subcutaneous tissue, usually due to a penetrating injury, blunt trauma, or a medical procedure. this air enters the tissue through a tear in the visceral pleura, resulting in a collection of air pockets in the subcutaneous tissue. these pockets can be painful and cause swelling, as well as an altered appearance of the affected area due to the air pockets.
