Management Of Hemothorax

Hemothorax patient death can be caused because of the large blood loss and the occurrence of respiratory failure. Respiratory failure due to the large amount of blood in the pleural cavity pressure of lung tissue and reduced lung tissue that does ventilation. Then treatment hemothorax as follows: 1. Emptying of blood from the pleural cavity. Installed "chest tube" and is connected with the WSD system, this can accelerate the lung expands.2. Stop the bleeding. If the installation of WSD, the blood still does not stop, then considered for thoracotomy.3. General state of repair. Giving oxygen 2-4 liters / minute, the length adjusted to the...

Management Of Pneumothorax

Outside the hospital. In light of spontaneous pneumothorax or pneumothorax simplex. Minimal or no complaints at all, are usually found by accident. The air in the pleural cavity will diresorbsi spontaneously. Because it does not require invasive measures. "Tension pneumothorax". Done in a sterile and carried out the stabbing in the sore area with a syringe the size of the largest. Stabbings in the space between the ribs into 2 in the front line of mid-clavicle. In young women (cosmetics) stabbings in the space between the ribs into 4 or 5 in the mid-axillary line. Then the needle tip covered with a sheet of thin rubber or thin plastic...

Management of Empyema Thoracic

The principle of treatment in empyema: 1. Emptying of the pleural cavity of pus 2. Antibiotics 3. Closure of the pleural cavity 4. Causal treatment 5. Additional treatment. 1. Emptying of the pleural cavity. a. Simple aspiration. Performed repeatedly using a large needle hole. This method is good enough to remove most of the pus or fluid from acute empyema is still runny. Losses such as these techniques often lead to "pocketed" empyema. Ultrasound can be used to determine the localization of "pocketed" empyema. b. Drainage is closed. Installation "= closed thoracostomy tube drainage (WSD)". Indications of this drain fitting, if...

Derived from the lungs: Pneumonia Lung abscess The existence of bronchopleural fistula Bronchiectasis Pulmonary Tuberculosis Lung fungus. II. From the extrapulmonary infection: Trauma of the brain Brain surgery Torasentesis Subfrenik abscess Due to amoebic liver abscess. Bacteriology Staphylococcal piogenes, at all ages, often in children.

Pathophysiology Of Empyema Thorasic Due to pyogenic...

Management of Bronchiectasis

A. Conservative: 1. Control of acute and chronic infection, mucus secretion, airway obstruction and complications, such as: coughing up blood, respiratory failure and cor pulmonale, in order to prolong life, improve quality of life and prevent disease progression. 2. Antibiotics if there is infection. 3. Chest physiotherapy and postural drainage with forced expiratory technique for removing secretions. 4. Aerosols with physiologic saline or beta agonists prior to chest physiotherapy may facilitate the release of sputum / secretions. 5. Bronchodilators to improve airflow, helping mukosilia clearance and physiotherapy improve outcomes. 6. Corticosteroids...

Clinical Symtomps and Diagnosis Bronchiectasis

Clinical Symptoms of Bronchiectasis Chronic productive cough, continuous or repetitive. Coughing up blood, blood mixed sputum to massive coughing up blood. acute exacerbation accompanied by heat. Sputum mucoid, or purulent mukopurulen, when collected in a transparent glass look three layers: a layer of froth on top, the middle layer of mucus, pus and debris lining the bottom. Shortness of breath, and breath sounds. local wet crackles and settled. Wheezing can be found. Cachexia, cyanosis and clubbing in advanced cases. Diagnosis Diagnosis of bronchiectasis is established on the basic of: Complaints and symptoms were found on physical examination. Chest...

Bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis is abnormal and permanent dilatation of bronchi and cartilaginous being, accompanied by destruction of muscle and elastic components of the walls. Etiology and pathogenesis A bronchial wall inflammation, causing damage and dilatation. Contributing factors are: 1. Infection: primary and secondary. Primary or secondary infection, either repeatedly or continuously, by: bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, and mycobacterial clearance mukosilia and will damage the airway epithelium. In children is often caused by: measles, whooping cough, severe pneumonia or aspiration. Primary tuberculosis is often also leads to bronchiectasis. Endobronchial...

Lung Abscess

Lung AbscessOverview Etiology Pathogenesis Pathology Clinical Symptoms Diagnosis Physical examination Differential Diagnosis Complications Prognosis Lung abscess is a suppurative lesions accompanied by necrosis of tissue in it. Etiology Germs cause usually consist of a mixture of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria such as: peptokokus, peptostreptokokus, fusobakterium spp, bakteroides spp, which is the flora of oropharynx. An abscess can occur because: aspiration, complications of pneumonia, lung trauma wounds are infected, and infected with pulmonary infarction or originating from empyema. In the subsequent discussion only lung abscess caused...
