Left pneumothorax with lobe compression of about 30! What a problem

The diagnosis of chest x-ray is sometimes inaccurate, and my girlfriend has a pneumothorax of more than 50%, but the diagnosis is that it is a small amount of pneumothorax. So let the doctor show you how much pneumothorax you have. If the pneumothorax is 30%, it doesn't matter, but you should prevent continued coughing and activity, take a good rest, and rent an oxygen cylinder at home to take oxygen every day.

Oxygen can help you absorb gas from your chest. Since you have a left-sided pneumothorax and a heart on the left side, it is recommended to see a doctor, check a thin tube with a ballpoint pen lead on your chest to expel the gas, and you will be discharged in three or four days if you are hospitalized. As for **no**, it depends on how your pneumothorax is formed.

If it is caused by the rupture of the alveoli, then 60%**, 40% not**, if there is no alveoli, then it may be caused by your coughing and laughing, etc., eat well and pay attention not to cough too hard or it's okay.

Anyway, rest assured, a minor illness, it's too normal. Relax your mind, life is still good! Good luck soon**!

Oxygen will be fine, no surgery is required. The disease has a high rate. What you're struggling with now isn't whether it's compressed at 30% or below 30%.

It's about how to make it not. Be careful not to exercise vigorously and lift heavy objects in the future, and yawn and cough gently. You should also pay attention to nutrition, if you increase your body weight and lung capacity, your lung capacity will increase, and the ** rate will decrease.

I am also a pneumothorax patient, several times in two months, and there are people who usually pay attention to it for a few years. I hope it helps. Good luck soon**!

Go to the hospital and be hospitalized**, do the exhaust negative pressure method of the hydraulic cylinder** to restore the compressed part of the pneumothorax.

30% is mild to moderate, and it will get better if you do it slightly.

See if you can absorb it! No, I can only have closed chest drainage!

I recommend surgery**.

The clinical management of spontaneous pneumothorax includes observation, chest tube drainage, and surgery**, with the main considerations being the degree of pneumothorax, recovery from absorption, the presence or absence of comorbidities, and the risk assessment of surgery. In fact, the probability of spontaneous pneumothorax is very high, with an average of more than a quarter within two years, especially for re-patients, and more than half of the chances. This is because most patients have more or less lung bubbles on the pleura, usually near the apex.

Therefore, the purpose of surgery is to find out these lesions that cause pneumothorax and remove them, and add pleural adhesion as appropriate, so that the pleural cavity is completely adhesion and the pneumothorax will not recur. Usually after surgery, we can control the ** rate to less than 5%.

Pneumothorax surgery, since 1937 to remove the bubble to avoid recurrence, no matter in the choice of surgical methods, the evolution of methods, the progress of anesthesia, and the introduction of thoracoscopy in recent years, pneumothorax surgery has been a safe, convenient, high success rate. Therefore, we sincerely recommend that patients with poor chest tube drainage, patients with pulmonary inflatability, patients with hemothorax, tension pneumothorax, or those who are inconvenient to seek immediate medical treatment due to the remote place of residence and the special nature of their work should undergo surgery** to avoid the unfortunate occurrence of physical harm and even respiratory failure in the case of acute **.

First, the pneumothorax **.

1.Indications for exhaust: when the compression of the closed pneumothorax is <30, most of them can be absorbed spontaneously without the need for exhaust. Lung compression >> 30, exhaust is required.

2 Exhaust method.

1) Emergency simple exhaust method: when the condition is critically ill and there is no special equipment, a 50-100 ml syringe can be used; Puncture and exhaust in the 2nd intercostal space of the midclavicular line or the 4th to 5th intercostal space of the anterior axillary line on the affected side. A thick injection needle can also be used, and a rubber finger sleeve is tied at the end of the tail to cut a crack at the end to act as a flap and insert it into the chest cavity to exhaust the air.

2) Closed drainage and exhaust method: the selection of parts is the same as above.

3) Negative pressure suction continuous exhaust method:

3 ** Pneumothorax: In addition to the above treatment, surgical treatment is generally used, and pleural fusion is advocated for patients with older age and poor cardiopulmonary function; Tetracycline can be used to induce chemical aseptic pleurisy, so that the two layers of pleural adhesion can be reduced.

4 Chronic pneumothorax: surgery is generally advocated**.

2. Complications**.

1. Fluid pneumothorax (hemopneumothorax, pneumothorax): It is advisable to complete the effusion or perform low-level closed drainage as soon as possible, and the bleeding can stop after lung re-expansion. If bleeding continues, anti-infective** should be given in addition to appropriate blood transfusions.

2 Subcutaneous emphysema: It can be absorbed spontaneously after decompression in the chest cavity. If the subcutaneous emphysema is too severe, the gas can be pushed to one place by hand and extracted through the skin with a syringe.

3 Pneumomediastinum: When compression symptoms occur, in addition to chest exhaust, suprasternal fossa puncture or incision is used to exhaust if necessary.

3. Symptomatic**: appropriate bed rest, semi-recumbent position if necessary; And give high-concentration oxygen inhalation, reduce cough, prevent constipation, etc.

4. **Primary disease: For ruptured pulmonary emphysema vesicles or pulmonary bullae, it is recommended to use thoracoscopy for dehiscence and closure, partial pleurectomy or wedge pneumonectomy.

Depending on the situation, your brother should have spontaneous pneumothorax, which is more common in thin and tall people, due to congenital hypoplasia of the lungs, chest deformity (flat chest), and spontaneous pneumothorax is a pneumothorax that causes no reason. Compression of 90% is already quite serious. However, because the right lung is sound, it is not life-threatening, and it is compressed by 90%, and the lung is compressed to about the size of a tennis ball.

After that, usually eat more fiber-rich foods, such as celery. Strengthen nutrition, quit smoking and limit alcohol. **After 3-6 months, you can exercise appropriately, and do not suddenly do strenuous exercise.

Such as jogging.

Avoid strenuous upper limb exercises and chest expansion exercises, and remind your brother not to strain to poop, shout loudly, and cough violently. And so on and so on to increase the load on the lungs.
