Is pneumothorax oxygen good

summary

Not long ago, my uncle always said that he was sick and his chest was stuffy. He went to the hospital for examination and found out that he had pneumothorax. Now he has been taking oxygen in the hospital. Let me share with you how about taking oxygen in pneumothorax?

Is pneumothorax oxygen good

First, pneumothorax patients, because of the accumulation of air in the chest, will cause lung compression, affect the lung ventilation, regardless of the severity of pneumothorax, more or less affect the gas exchange, resulting in hypoxia, so even if the patient does not have the performance of asthma, there will be hypoxia, it is necessary to inhale oxygen treatment.

Second, the importance of oxygen inhalation in the treatment of pneumothorax is often ignored. The daily absorption rate of non oxygen pneumothorax is about 1. 25%。 It takes about 20 days for 25% pneumothorax to be absorbed completely. The absorption rate can be increased by 3-4 times under oxygen inhalation. When the pneumothorax volume is large, the absorption rate increases more obviously.
