What are the treatments for open pneumothorax There are 3 ways to control the condition of pneumothorax
Patients will always encounter difficulties and setbacks in their daily lives, and they must maintain an optimistic attitude when facing their illness. Then find out the appropriate and effective way to solve the problem, for open pneumothorax, the first thing is to turn the open pneumothorax into a closed one, so as to strive for greater survival time for the patient, and then let's learn how to control and treat open pneumothorax with three methods.
There are three options for emergency management of open pneumothorax to control the condition:
1. Immediately turn an open pneumothorax into a closed pneumothorax to win the patient's survival time.
When a pneumothorax is diagnosed, it must be resuscitated immediately. In this case, a large first aid kit and a multi-layer cleaning cloth or thick gauze mat can be used. At the same time, the cause of the injury should be further examined and understood. After the patient's body is perfected, debridement should be performed under endotracheal and intubation anesthesia as soon as possible, and thoracostomy drainage should be placed at the same time.
2. Exhaust treatment:
It is suitable for patients with obvious dyspnea and patients with severe breathing, especially for patients who need emergency ventilation for open patients. Patients with hemodynamic instability require immediate midclavicular decompression.
3. Bronchoscopic occlusion treatment:
On the basis of conventional thoracostomy drainage, bronchoscopic balloon exploration is used to choose bronchial closure, which can occlude the bronchi of the damaged lung and achieve recovery efficacy. The recurrence rate of pneumothorax is very high, and it is necessary to know the conditions under which the symptoms of recurrence will occur, and most patients are admitted to the hospital with difficulty breathing, but there are very few patients who do not have any symptoms when they get sick.
The above three points are introduced to the treatment of open pneumothorax, and patients with pneumothorax must pay more attention to their physical condition. If the patient cannot go back to work and activities after the operation, he or she should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination in a timely manner. It is necessary to check whether the pneumothorax and the respiratory function of the human body are in good condition, and at the same time, the patient should quit the spicy and irritating food that he usually eats, including cigarettes that everyone loves, etc., which contain irritating things, and the patient should remember not to touch the water during the recovery period to avoid infection on the wound.
