summary

Pneumothorax refers to the gas into the pleural cavity, resulting in gas accumulation state. Most of the patients suffered from lung disease or external force, which resulted in the rupture of lung tissue and visceral pleura, or the rupture of tiny emphysema near the surface of the lung, and the air in the lung and bronchus escaped into the pleural cavity. Acupuncture and moxibustion is a method of treating diseases by acupuncture or fire moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine. Improper acupuncture and moxibustion can cause pneumothorax. Let's take a look at the following.

How should pneumothorax patient deal with?

First, patients with all types of pneumothorax should rest in bed and limit their activities. When the lung compression is less than 20%, they do not need to breathe. They can be given antitussive and analgesic symptomatic treatment. When there is infection, corresponding antibiotics should be selected according to the situation. 　

Second: the treatment of acute pneumothorax: the key to the treatment of pneumothorax is to reduce the pressure and promote the recruitment as soon as possible. Aspiration: for closed pneumothorax with lung compression ＞ 20%, especially for emphysema patients with poor lung function, aspiration is the first measure to rapidly relieve dyspnea. Pumping method: simple method: pumping with syringe, this method is suitable for first aid, but also easy to transport patients.

Third: pneumothorax caused by Acupuncture and moxibustion. Generally speaking, if the compression of lung tissue is less than 20% and the symptoms are mild, there is no need for special treatment. We can take conservative treatment and observation methods, so that the air entering the pleural cavity can be absorbed slowly, and the wound will gradually heal, So pay attention to the following points, I believe you will be cured soon
