In clinical practice, a ruptured lung is also called a pneumothorax.
If the lung is broken by 70%, the situation is more serious and requires active admission for examination, which should be done immediately with a chest X-ray. Can be discharged from the hospital. Generally, if it is normal, the patient will be cured and discharged in a week or so. The recovery of pneumothorax is slower due to large pulmonary alveoli, pleural metastases of lung cancer, etc. These patients need surgical treatment.
Patients with chronic lung disease such as pulmonary alveoli are also prone to pneumothorax, mostly after strenuous exercise or force, with chest pain and breath-holding as the main manifestations. At the same time most patients are thin adolescents. A broken lung can cause atelectasis. Atelectasis can affect human breathing and can cause difficulty breathing and lack of oxygen, and the above-mentioned conditions must be promptly admitted to the hospital for treatment to avoid affecting health.
