Why pleural effusion complicated with pneumothorax?

summary

Pleural puncture technology can not only extract fluid to make a clear diagnosis, but also extract too much fluid to squeeze the lung to achieve the effect of treatment. So pleural puncture technology is divided into diagnostic puncture and therapeutic puncture technology. Generally, if there is pleural effusion in patients through physical examination or imaging examination, then the purpose of diagnosis or treatment can be achieved through this technology. Let's briefly talk about some basic problems of this technology.

Why pleural effusion complicated with pneumothorax?

The first is to determine whether the patient is suitable for the operation, and the third is to ensure the safety of the operation. Generally, if the patient has coagulation dysfunction, uncooperative or psychosis, weak constitution, skin infection at the suction site, etc. before operation, the operation can not be carried out.

Second: generally, first of all, the operator should explain to the patient the purpose of the operation and some basic situations that may occur, and then prepare the relevant equipment to help the patient set the position during the operation. The puncture site was located. After the operation, patients should rest and closely observe their vital signs.

The third is the most common pneumothorax, which does not need to panic. Generally, a small amount of pneumothorax will be absorbed by itself. The second is bleeding or hemothorax. This is caused by puncturing tissue during puncture. The third is pleural reaction. This is easy to occur during operation. The fourth is adhesion, Fifthly, the pulmonary edema caused by too much or too fast pumping at one time can be avoided as much as possible

matters needing attention

The above briefly introduces some basic processes and possible complications of pleural effusion pumping. Pleural effusion pumping is an effective means to diagnose the nature of effusion and reduce the pressure of effusion on the lung. The success of operation has a certain relationship with the operator's technology and preparation before operation.
