Spontaneous tension pneumothorax - what does this mean
What happens during the disease - spontaneous tension pneumothorax
При проникновении воздуха из лёгких в плевральную полость дыхательная функция лёгких нарушается, человеку трудно дышать, у него возникает одышка. Сердце старается пропустить через лёгкие больше крови, чтобы получить больше кислорода и вывести углекислый газ, как следствие возникает учащённое сердцебиение.
С увеличением количества воздуха в плевральной полости повышается и давление, лёгкое сжимается, в результате чего оно может перестать выполнять свою функцию. Лёгкое уже не может полноценно вентилироваться вдыхаемым воздухом и обеспечивать газообмен. Сдавливаются сердце и сосуды. Возникает порочный круг:
- Вены сдавливаются, крови в них становится меньше, поэтому в сердце поступает недостаточное её количество.
- Сердце сжато и не может выбросить в лёгкие необходимый объём крови, из-за чего они не получают достаточное количество кислорода и не могут вывести лишний углекислый газ.
- Само лёгкое уменьшается в размерах из-за пневмоторакса и не может вместить в себя необходимый объём воздуха, чтобы обеспечить газообмен.
- Единственный выход для организма — это стараться глубоко и часто дышать и увеличить частоту сокращения сердца. Так возникает одышка и тахикардия.
В последующем в спавшемся лёгком возникают воспалительные процессы, которые в ряде случаев могут носить необратимый характер.
Иногда место, где произошёл разрыв плевры, работает как клапан, то есть воздух из лёгкого поступает в плевральную полость, а обратно не идёт. Такое состояние называется клапанный пневмоторакс, оно приводит к напряжённому пневмотораксу.
