Pneumothorax patients are not recommended to go to Tibet.
Pneumothorax is a state of gas accumulation caused by external gas entering the pleural cavity through a breach in the pleural cavity. Pneumothorax increases the pressure in the pleural cavity and compresses the lung tissues, and the lung tissues in that part lose their ability to ventilate and change air, so the respiratory function will be reduced, and there will be dyspnea, reduced oxygen saturation, and other conditions, and there will be very obvious discomforts.
At the same time, because Tibet is a high altitude area, the air pressure is low, the oxygen content in the air is also low, patients with pneumothorax themselves have low blood oxygen saturation, and then go to Tibet will lead to a further decrease in blood oxygen saturation, aggravating the discomfort, so it is not recommended that patients with pneumothorax go to Tibet.
After the occurrence of pneumothorax, you should consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
