What’s with the sweating after a pneumothorax extubation?

Sweating after extubation of pneumothorax needs to be considered as a pneumothorax secondary to certain lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), tuberculosis, and other related diseases, and also needs to be differentiated from sweating caused by other diseases. 1. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): COPD may be combined with pulmonary pustules, which may easily lead to pneumothorax. COPD tends to be weak or accompanied by complications such as type 2 respiratory failure, which may lead to the manifestation of excessive sweating. 2. Tuberculosis: Tuberculosis is a special infection of the lungs, which may also lead to pneumothorax when it is adjacent to the pleura, and the pneumothorax caused by this disease may also be accompanied by the phenomenon of sweating. 3. Other reasons: after extubation of pneumothorax, the patient can recover completely, and the pneumothorax itself will not leave any sequelae such as sweating. In addition to the above mentioned underlying lung diseases, it is also necessary to assess whether there are other concomitant diseases such as hyperthyroidism, cardiac insufficiency, etc., and the above mentioned diseases may also lead to the patient sweating easily. To summarize, sweating after extubation of pneumothorax should be assessed for other diseases and treated accordingly.
