How is lung effusion to return a responsibility

summary

The clinical manifestation of pulmonary effusion is quite different, which is closely related to the range of atelectasis and the cause of atelectasis. I'll tell you what's going on.

How is lung effusion to return a responsibility

First: unilateral atelectasis, often accompanied by obvious dyspnea, physical examination often found that the affected side of the chest deformation, respiratory sound disappeared, percussion sound, trachea shift to the affected side and other changes, but the symptoms of limited atelectasis may not be obvious, clinical signs are not typical.

Second, when the lung is under external pressure, it causes lung atrophy, which can be caused by a large number of pleural effusion or pneumothorax, intrathoracic tumor, chest depression (congenital, traumatic or postoperative) and rise of transverse septum.

Third: pulmonary effusion, which indicates that there are obvious lesions in the lung. If the pulmonary effusion is not treated, it will affect the patient's respiratory function. There are two causes of right atelectasis, which can be caused by bronchial obstruction (including internal or external factors) or external pressure on the lung. The most common causes of bronchial internal obstruction are aspiration foreign body, thick mucus, inflammatory exudate, bronchial tumor, bronchitis granulation tissue or inflammatory bronchial stenosis. External bronchial obstruction can be caused by lymph node enlargement (including tuberculosis, tumor and sarcoidosis), peribronchial tumor, aortic aneurysm, cardiac enlargement (such as left atrial enlargement) and pericardial effusion. When the lung is under external pressure, it causes lung atrophy, which can be caused by a large number of pleural effusion or pneumothorax, intrathoracic tumor, chest depression (congenital, traumatic or postoperative) and rise of transverse septum.

matters needing attention

Although no lesions were found, examination and treatment should be continued. If you don't want to do tracheoscopy, you can review the chest film and lung computed tomography at the same time of treatment, and compare several images to find out the cause, and take the corresponding treatment
