What is spontaneous pneumothorax

Analysis 1. Spontaneous pneumothorax refers to the rupture of lung tissue and visceral pleura due to lung disease, or the spontaneous rupture of bullae and tiny emphysema near the surface of the lung, which makes the air in the lung and bronchus escape into the pleural cavity.

Analysis 2, more common in young men or suffering from chronic bronchitis, emphysema, tuberculosis. This disease is one of the acute diseases in the Department of lung. If it is serious, it can be life-threatening and can be cured by timely treatment.

Analysis 3. Pleural cavity is a closed cavity between visceral and parietal pleura. Due to the elastic retraction force of the lung, it is a negative pressure chamber [- 0.29-0.49kpa (- 3.5cmh2o)]. When a certain inducement causes a sharp rise in the alveoli pressure, the damaged lung pleura ruptures, the pleural cavity is connected with the atmosphere, and the air flows into the thoracic cavity to form spontaneous pneumothorax.

matters needing attention

Spontaneous pneumothorax patients in daily life must pay attention to avoid doing too intense exercise, such as fast running, dancing and other explosive movements can not be done, this will only cause aggravation of the disease.
