How is traumatic pneumothorax treated?

First: patients must know that pneumothorax refers to the gas into the pleural cavity, resulting in gas accumulation state, known as pneumothorax. It is usually divided into three categories: spontaneous pneumothorax, traumatic pneumothorax and artificial pneumothorax. In case of dyspnea caused by large amount of pneumothorax, thoracic puncture should be performed, and then closed drainage should be adopted. If the general closed drainage still can not work, continuous thoracic drainage can be used

Second: patients must understand the treatment of this disease, including exhaust therapy, surgical therapy and minimally invasive therapy. According to the symptoms, signs and X-ray findings, patients must judge what type of pneumothorax is, and then use what method is appropriate. Patients must go to large hospitals for regular treatment, do a comprehensive examination, patients must actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.

Third: patients must know that the general treatment of this disease is to stay in bed and speak as little as possible to reduce lung activity, which is conducive to gas absorption. This method is suitable for the first attack, lung collapse below 20%, without dyspnea. Only lying in bed can absorb 1.25% of the volume of gas in pleural cavity every day. If the lung does not expand after one week, other treatment measures are needed. I hope you will recover soon.
