summary

Pneumothorax is a kind of disease that the damaged pleura air enters into the pleural cavity, changes the negative pressure of the pleural cavity, and leads to the limitation of lung function and respiratory function. Pneumothorax can be divided into many kinds, including spontaneous pneumothorax and secondary pneumothorax. Spontaneous pneumothorax is mainly caused by some lung diseases, including lung cancer, lung abscess. When the patient has excessive fatigue, severe cough and sneeze, I can not induce the occurrence of disease. Now I will introduce to you which symptom types pneumothorax can be divided into

What symptom types can pneumothorax be divided into

Closed pneumothorax refers to that the pleural cavity is not connected with the external atmosphere. When the air enters, the defect will automatically close, resulting in increased pressure in the pleural cavity. But the pleural cavity is still in a negative pressure state, and the lung tissue is in partial atrophy. The respiratory function still has certain function.

Open pneumothorax refers to that the pleural cavity and the external atmospheric pressure are the same, air can freely enter the pleural cavity, the negative pressure in the delivery cavity completely disappears, the tissue is in a state of complete atrophy, the respiratory function is seriously limited, resulting in insufficient ventilation, and the body is in a state of hypoxia

Traumatic pneumothorax is a kind of pneumothorax which is caused by serious injury in the pleural cavity. Therefore, in the treatment of pneumothorax at the same time. We should pay attention to the treatment of primary diseases. At the same time, we should be alert whether the patient has hemorrhagic shock due to excessive blood loss.

matters needing attention

Pneumothorax according to different classification methods can be divided into different types, different types of pneumothorax will take different treatment methods. But the most important thing is to ensure that the airway is unobstructed. Improve respiratory function.
