Perforated lung disease or leaky lung disease (Pneumothorax) is a condition in which air leaks from the air sacs into the pleural space. The wind will pressurize the lungs, causing the lungs to collapse, making it difficult to breathe and panting. If there is a large amount of air leakage, it will result in lack of oxygen and ultimately death. There is also a risk of complications occurring. This can lead to major causes of death, such as infection, inflammation, fluid buildup in the lungs, or pulmonary edema. low blood protein High blood pressure, kidney failure or kidney failure

Extremely hot weather can damage the lungs and internal organs. Who’s at risk? and how to take care of yourself

“Pneumonia”, a dangerous complication of influenza that can be prevented!

Pneumothorax is divided into 2 type

Primary pulmonary leakage (Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax (PSP)) It usually occurs in patients aged 18 years up to 30 years. During the thin, tall, fast-growing adolescents, it is often found that the top of the lungs is emphysema. At present, the medical community still does not know exactly what caused it. But from the analysis that is possible may be genetic

Secondary pulmonary leakage (Secondary Spontaneous Pneumothorax, SSP) usually occurs in people over 60 years old who smoke heavily. and occurs in patients who already have lung disease partly as a result of smoking habits which is often found that emphysema will be spread throughout When it burst, the air leaked into the chest cavity. The symptoms are more severe than primary pulmonary leakage. Due to the loss of lung function from smoking

Groups at risk for pneumonia

  • heredity
  • smoking behavior
  • use of a respirator
  • tall thin person

Symptoms-The warning signs of pneumonia vary by age, but the main ones are: Patients often have symptoms

  • chest tightness
  • Shortness of breath or shortness of breath

When the original bad lung tissue is squeezed, it becomes easy to get tired and like you can’t breathe. The chest pain is different from people with heart disease.

“Lung cancer” that is not just smoking and 7 early warning signs

Small particulate matter (PM2.5) Hurt the lungs or not?

Nowadays, PM2.5 is another risk factor that should not be overlooked. Because there was a case of middle-aged patients running marathons over a period of 5 years, causing a leaky lung condition. The lungs are black like a smoker, even though he never smoked. And normally, the period of time before the symptoms show takes time to accumulate for 10 years or more, but this case is special. Symptoms show up early, or in some cases, younger patients go to concerts suddenly coughing and chest pains appear. Mazek found that the lungs were leaking. which has been chronic for a long time and that day was in a place with loud music causing the aneurysm to burst The symptoms of leaky lung disease are not as obvious as other diseases.

Diagnosis of pneumonia or leaky lung disease (Pneumothorax)

  • Measurement of oxygen levels in the blood
  • Electrocardiogram (EKG)
  • X-ray of the lungs (Chest X-ray)
  • Computed tomography (CT-Scan)

treatment of pneumonia

  • high dose oxygen
  • tube insertion to remove air from the lungs
  • Medicated pleural fusion
  • surgery

Take care after leaky lung surgery, things that should not be done in the first 2 weeks after surgery. is to lift heavy objects May affect the surgical wound within the period. As for the external surgical wound, it will heal completely within 1 week, while the patient with wind leakage according to the menstrual cycle. The treatment approach is to stop menstruation with hormones. Make it like golden age about 6 – 9 months

as you know Smoking is an external factor caused by behavior that causes illness that not only leaks the lungs but can also result in lung cancer and other diseases. Reducing and quitting is the best solution for this and should keep an eye on the body. Spontaneous fall and various abnormalities Including annual health checks to watch out for various diseases. which may be caused without knowing
