Pneumothorax occurs when air enters the pleural space. Currently there is increasing incidence of road traffic accidents, increasing awareness of healthcare leading to more advanced diagnostic procedures, and increasing number of admissions in intensive care units are responsible for traumatic (non iatrogenic and iatrogenic) pneumothorax. Pneumothorax has a clinical spectrum from asymptomatic patient to life-threatening situations. Diagnosis is usually made by clinical examination and imaging techniques. In our current work we focus on the treatment of penetrating trauma.
气胸是指空气进入胸膜腔。目前,道路交通伤的发生率不断增加,人们对医疗保健的认识不断提高,导致更先进的诊断程序的应用,以及重症监护病房的收治人数不断增加,这些都是导致创伤性(医源性和非医源性)气胸的原因。气胸的临床表现从无症状到危及生命的情况都有。诊断通常通过临床检查和影像学技术来进行。在我们目前的工作中,我们专注于穿透性创伤的治疗。
