Subcutaneous emphysema is a condition when air gets accumulated into the tissues under the skin and in the soft tissues of the chest wall or neck but can also spread to other parts of the body. It generally causes minimal symptoms and nonlethal; sometimes, it may be severe and life-threatening if deeper tissues of the thoracic outlet and chest are involved. It is essential to know the mechanisms of subcutaneous emphysema after cardiac surgery.
皮下气肿是一种空气积聚在皮下组织以及胸壁或颈部软组织中,但也可能扩散至身体其他部位的病症。它通常引起的症状较轻且无致命危险;有时,如果胸廓出口和胸部的深层组织受累,可能会很严重甚至危及生命。了解心脏手术后皮下气肿的机制至关重要。
