Pneumothorax Treatment
A Pneumothorax refers to a collapsed lung, wherein air infiltrates the space between the lung and chest wall, exerting pressure on the outer lung surface, causing it to collapse. This phenomenon can involve the complete collapse of a lung or a partial collapse of a lung segment.
Symptoms
Indications of a pneumothorax encompass sudden chest pain and shortness of breath, with the severity contingent on the extent of lung collapse. These symptoms may arise due to various health issues, some of which can be life-threatening, warranting prompt medical attention. In cases of severe chest pain or escalating breathing difficulties, immediate emergency care is crucial.
When to access Medical Care
Abrupt, intense chest discomfort that might radiate to your shoulder or back. Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath.
Determinants of risk
Generally, men have a higher likelihood of experiencing a pneumothorax than women. Pneumothorax resulting from ruptured air blisters is more prevalent in individuals aged 20 to 40, particularly those who are tall and underweight. Underlying lung conditions or mechanical airflow issues can contribute to or pose a risk for pneumothorax. Additional risk factors encompass:
Smoking: The risk escalates with the duration and quantity of smoking, irrespective of emphysema.
Genetics: Certain types of pneumothorax appear to have a familial predisposition.
Previous Pneumothorax: Individuals with a history of pneumothorax face an elevated risk of recurrence.
Recovery process
Recovery duration varies, contingent on factors like patient characteristics, chosen procedure, and the extent of severity.
