Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax, Secondary Spontaneous Pneumothorax, Open Pneumothorax, Closed Pneumothorax, Tension Pneumothorax, Signs of Collapsed Lungs, Diagnosis and Treatment of Pneumothorax
Abstract
The presence of in pleural space is termed as pneumothorax.Normally the intrapleural pressure shows always negativity but pressure exhibits positivity especially in pnemothorax and this conditon result in collapse of lungs. Hypoxia is not seen in closed pnemothorax. In open pneumothorax, the collapse of the lungs result in asphyxia, cyanosis, dyspnea, hypercapnea as well as hypoxia. Different types of collapsed lung are catamenial pneumothorax, iatrogenic pneumothorax, Injury related pneumothorax, primary spontaneous pneumothorax and secondary spontaneous pneumothorax. Signs of collapsed lungs are cough, rapid breathing, rapid heart rate (HR), fatigue and shortness of breath. The diagnosis of pneumothorax is based is based on CT scan or ultrasound. Treatment is based on a chest tube drainage, chemical pleurodesis, Needle aspiration and supplemental oxygen.
