What reason is left lung distension?

summary

The main cause of adult acute or chronic atelectasis is obstruction of bronchi. The common causes are mucus embolus formed by viscous bronchial secretion, tumor, granuloma or foreign body. It can also be caused by bronchial stenosis or distortion, or by extraneous compression of bronchi by swollen lymph nodes, tumors or hemangiomas, or by extraneous compression of lung tissue by liquids and gases. My son had a sudden chest tightness, shortness of breath and poor breathing. Let's take a look at the following.

What reason is left lung distension?

First, the patient should know that the compression atelectasis is caused by the compression of the lung tissue by the adjacent dilated lesions, such as tumor, lung air sac and pulmonary bulla, while the relaxation (passive) atelectasis is caused by the accumulation of gas and fluid in the chest, which is often manifested as round atelectasis. Discoid atelectasis is rare, which is associated with decreased diaphragmatic motion (usually in ascites) or decreased respiratory motility.

Second: patients should know that the treatment mainly depends on what causes atelectasis and the type, degree, acute and chronic of atelectasis. If atelectasis * exists for a long time, it can easily cause secondary infection, cause bronchial damage and inflammatory secretion retention. Bronchiectasis and lung abscess can occur during a long time.

Third, patients should understand that in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, if endobronchial tuberculosis occurs, it will lead to granulation and fibrous hyperplasia in the bronchus, which will lead to bronchial stenosis and eventually atelectasis. For this kind of situation, it is very dangerous. A period of atelectasis will cause congestion and permanent loss of function, which will not only play the respiratory function of the lung, but also become a hotbed of bacteria, The focus of infection.

matters needing attention

Patients should pay attention to conservative drug treatment and thoracic drainage and other methods, atelectasis can not be alleviated, it is recommended that early surgical treatment, no matter what causes atelectasis, after a period of time, will cause irreversible damage, will bring great pain to patients
