Taller and thinner men are more prone to pneumothorax! What factors support this statement? Click on this video to find out! ▬ 📃 How does Pneumothorax happen? ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ A pneumothorax occurs when air leaks into the space between your lung and chest wall. This air pushes on the outside of your lung and makes it collapse. Pneumothorax can be a complete lung collapse or a collapse of only a portion of the lung. ▬ 📜 Etiology of Pneumothorax ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Pneumothorax presides when a past injury or disease prolongs or recurrence of that disease occurs. It includes: 🟡 Chest Injury 🟡 Lung disease 🟡 Ruptured air blisters (Blebs) 🟡 Mechanical Ventilation ▬ 📃 Risk factors for Pneumothorax In general, thinner, and taller men are more prone to having such conditions due to the shape of their lungs. Other risk factors that contribute are: 🔵 Smoking 🔵 Genetics 🔵 Lung disease 🔵 Previous history of Pneumothorax ▬ 📜 Pneumothorax Pathophysiology ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 3 types of Pneumothorax follow 3 different pathophysiologies. These three types are: 🟢 Open Pneumothorax 🟢 Closed Pneumothorax 🟢 Tension Pneumothorax All three of them will lead to the collapsing of the lungs and in turn cause a pneumothoraces phenomenon. ▬ 📃 Pneumothorax Clinical Features ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Just like the Pathophysiology of pneumothorax, the clinical presentation also varies in different types of pneumothorax, but major physical signs include: ⚫️ Mediastinal shift ⚫️ Intercostal fullness ⚫️ Diminished movements ⚫️ Hyper-resonate percussion notes ⚫️ Reduced or Absent breath sounds ▬ 📜 Diagnostic Tests for Pneumothorax ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Tests that are performed to check the presence of pneumothorax are: 🟡 X-ray: For mediastinum shift 🟡 Oxygen saturation: Abnormal in the presence of lung disease 🟡 Ultrasonography or CT scan: Detects small pneumothoraces 🟡 Chest Radiograph: Shows a full picture of abnormalities in the lungs ▬ 📃 Possible Management of Pneumothorax ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Although Pneumothorax usually happens in combination with certain diseases, its management is necessary in critically ill patients. The following parameters are listed below: 🟣 Drainage 🟣 Pleural abrasion 🟣 Pleurectomy 🟣 Surgical Pleurodesis A simple yet helpful algorithm is made for you to memorize the management protocol of pneumothorax, at the end of the video so do not forget to check that out! ▬ 🎬 5500+ sqadia.com Medical Videos ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 👩🏻‍⚕️ Accessible Medical Student Education 24/7/365 💡 Simplifying Medical Learning 💪 Study Hard, Dream Big, Achieve More
