What is tension pneumothorax

First of all: tension pneumothorax refers to the rupture of larger pulmonary bubbles or larger and deeper lung laceration or bronchial rupture, the gap is connected with the pleural cavity, and forms a one-way valve, also known as high-pressure pneumothorax.

Secondly, tension pneumothorax refers to the one-way valve like leakage channel in the pleural cavity. When inhaled, the pressure in the pleural cavity decreases, the valve opens and the gas enters; when exhaled, the pressure in the pleural cavity increases, the valve closes and the gas cannot be discharged. Traumatic pneumothorax of the lung, bronchus, chest wall injury wound can be a single channel valve membrane effect, spontaneous pneumothorax of the pleural break can also form such a valve.

Finally: the patient presented with extreme dyspnea and sat upright breathing. Cyanosis, dysphoria, coma and even asphyxia occurred in severe hypoxia patients. Physical examination showed that the chest of the injured side was full, the intercostal space was widened, the breathing amplitude was reduced, and subcutaneous emphysema could be found. Percussion was tympanic. The auscultation breath sound disappeared. Diagnosis needs professional examination, can not simply rely on the disease to determine, make clear the disease can be better solved.
