Disease Features pulmonary collapse
Absence or low individual and public risk
Pulmonary collapse - what does this mean
Pulmonary collapse occurs when the air sacs in the lungs (alveoli) become deflated due to an obstruction or loss of air pressure. this can be caused by a blockage in the airways, a decrease in air pressure in the chest cavity, or a disruption in the normal exchange of air in the lungs.
What happens during the disease - pulmonary collapse
Pulmonary collapse is a condition in which the air sacs in the lungs become deflated, resulting in a decrease in oxygenation to the body. this can be caused by a variety of factors, such as trauma, infections, airway obstruction, or a decrease in surfactant production. when the air sacs are deflated, the pressure in the lungs is reduced, leading to a decrease in the amount of oxygen that can be exchanged between the alveoli and the capillaries. this can lead to hypoxia, which can cause a variety of symptoms, including shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: Treat the symptoms of Pulmonary collapse
- Administer oxygen therapy to improve breathing
- Prescribe antibiotics to reduce inflammation and infection
- Perform chest physiotherapy to clear mucus from the lungs
- Provide medication to reduce pain and discomfort
- Encourage the patient to take deep breaths to improve lung function
- Perform chest x-ray or CT scan to diagnose the extent of the collapse
- Perform surgery to repair the damaged tissue
- Provide breathing exercises to improve lung capacity
- Prescribe corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
- Monitor the patient’s progress and adjust treatment accordingly
12 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Pulmonary collapse - Prevention
Pulmonary collapse can be prevented by avoiding smoking, avoiding exposure to air pollution, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and getting regular check-ups to monitor lung health. vaccinations for certain respiratory illnesses can also help reduce the risk of pulmonary collapse.
