Subcutaneous emphysema. Subcutaneous emphysema is when gas or air is in the layer under the skin. Subcutaneous refers to the tissue beneath the skin, and emphysema refers to trapped air. It is sometimes abbreviated SCE or SE and also called tissue emphysema, or Sub Q air.
When pneumothorax is the cause of emphysema, then a subcutaneous emphysema chest tube is used to keep a tab on the situation. Due the placement of a chest tube, the source via which air is entering is eliminated. If the amount of air seeping in is increasing then the existing tube can be replaced by a larger one.
