Chest compression injuries do not usually cause pulmonary alveoli. Current causes of pulmonary alveoli include congenital etiology and acquired causes.
Pulmonary alveoli are caused by various reasons such as increased pressure within the alveoli, rupture of the alveolar walls, and fusion of the ruptured alveoli with each other to form air-containing cystic cavities larger than one centimeter in diameter within the lungs. Smaller, single alveoli have no symptoms. Larger or multiple alveoli may have symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath and dyspnea.
1. Congenital causes: such as congenital developmental abnormalities of the bronchial tubes and idiopathic alveoli.
2. Acquired factors: mainly based on underlying lung diseases, such as emphysema, inflammation of the lungs, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, etc., or long-term smoking and exposure to dust.
Patients with pulmonary alveoli should consult the thoracic surgery department of the hospital in time.
