Question here please I need your help I need more explanations about (Tension pneumothorax)
As Khushi said that: air in the pleural Cavity pressure collapses lungs, so victim dies in the land like a fish’s die
Noooo. Patient dies because of hypotension.tension pneumothorax cause pressure on the heart and because of that heart can't fill enough , so hypotension kills patient . it's difference between pneumothorax and tension pneumothorax . it has some signs like shift of medianstan in chest x-ray. shift of bronch in chest x-ray. and hypotension
Pneumothorax is the conditon when there is filling of air in pleural cavity
Pneumothorax is deflation of the lung, due to traumatic or non-traumatic causes. A tension pneumothorax occurs when air can enter the pleural space, either via an injury to the chest wall or to the lung but cannot escape. The buildup of air causes the lung to compress. This is treated via needle thoracostomy to relieve the pressure.
pneumothorax treatment is put needle prick in 4th intercostal space lateraof affected side
