summary

Pleural effusion refers to pleural effusion, mainly refers to the pleural fluid volume exceeds the normal level. There is about 3-5ml of liquid in the pleural cavity of normal people. Its existence is mainly to lubricate the breathing movement. Therefore, as long as the amount of liquid does not exceed the upper limit of the normal level, it will not affect the body. But the amount of fluid is not static, with the continuous formation and absorption, if the dynamic balance is broken, it will form pleural effusion. If there is too much pleural effusion, it will affect the health of the body. In addition, there will be obstacles in breathing. Therefore, as long as the amount of fluid exceeds the upper limit of the normal level, we need to treat it. How to treat the symptoms of pleural effusion? Now let's talk about it.

How is pleural effusion symptom treated?

If the amount of pleural effusion is medium, the treatment purpose can be achieved by pumping. Of course, such pumping needs to be carried out in the hospital. It needs about 2-3 times of pumping times a week. It can be stopped after the amount of pleural effusion drops to the normal amount. It is easy to cause palpitation and dizziness after fluid pumping, so it is necessary to pump fluid in a regular hospital to prevent shock.

If the patient has a large number of pleural effusion, it will cause poisoning symptoms, so it is a more serious situation, not only to pump fluid for the patient, but also to use anti tuberculosis chemotherapy for treatment at the same time. If the situation is more serious, it is necessary to use glucocorticoid to accelerate the absorption of pleural fluid, in order to prevent pleural adhesion in the process of treatment.

The treatment of pleural effusion is mainly to extract the effusion from the body, and according to the amount of effusion of each patient, determine whether to use antituberculous chemotherapy synchronous treatment, or need to use glucocorticoids and other drugs. Therefore, the volume of pleural effusion is different, and the way of treatment will be adjusted effectively on the basis of fluid extraction.
