What is the sound of pneumothorax percussion

summary

Pneumothorax percussion is a very common way of diagnosis, now the continuous progress and development of science and technology for our medical facilities have also made a huge contribution. Pneumothorax percussion can diagnose a lot of different tones. Let's talk about what tone is pneumothorax percussion.

What is the sound of pneumothorax percussion

First: clear tone is a kind of percussion sound with low tone, strong sound and long duration. It is produced by percussion on organs with rich elasticity and air content. It can be seen in chest percussion with good elasticity and normal air content of lung tissue. Voiced sound is a kind of percussion sound with high pitch, weak sound and short pitch. It is produced when percussion covers parenchymal organs with a small amount of air bearing tissue. It can be seen in the chest percussion of liver and heart, and it can also appear in the chest percussion of pneumonia due to the decrease of lung air content.

Second, the real sound is a percussion sound with higher pitch, weaker sound and shorter duration. In order to produce when percussion on the solid organs without air, such as liver and muscle, a large amount of pleural effusion and complete consolidation of lung can also appear. When percussion is performed on the abdomen, there is a large number of vacuoles. When percussion is performed on the stomach, there is a large number of vacuoles.

Third: over clear sound is a percussion sound between clear sound and drum sound, which can be seen in patients with emphysema whose lung tissue elasticity is weakened and air content is increased. Pneumothorax percussion is usually drum sound, sometimes with other lung diseases. Pneumothorax can only be diagnosed according to clinical symptoms, signs and X-ray findings. Closed pneumothorax if the volume is small, do not need special treatment, about 2 weeks can be absorbed. Open pneumothorax should be drained and antibiotics should be taken to prevent infection.

matters needing attention

In the past, we may not have any good methods for the treatment of lung diseases, which will cause many patients to endanger people's lives due to poor treatment. Now pneumothorax percussion can diagnose a lot of different sounds, of course, this is also very helpful for treatment.
