pleural space การใช้

• Aminoglycosides should typically be avoided as they have poor penetration into the pleural space.
• Serous lined cavities include the peritoneum, pericardium and pleural space and tunica vaginalis.
• The pleural space contains pleural fluid.
• The pleural space is maintained in a constant state of negative pressure ( in comparison to atmospheric pressure ).
• A local anesthetic may be instilled into the pleural space, or an epidural catheter may be placed for anesthesia.
• To understand the ramifications of this it is important to have an understanding of the role of the pleural space.
• A pneumothorax is the accumulation of air in the pleural space, and is commonly called a " collapsed lung ."
• The lungs are fully inflated within the cavity because the pressure inside the airways is higher than the pressure inside the pleural space.
• This finding indicates possibly but not with certainty, of a pleural effusion, empyema, blood in pleural space ( Hemothorax ).
• If the chest wall, and thus the pleural space, is punctured, blood, air or both can enter the pleural space.
• If the chest wall, and thus the pleural space, is punctured, blood, air or both can enter the pleural space.
• Treatment of a spontaneous pneumothorax is dependent on the volume of air in the pleural space and the natural progression of the individual's condition.
• Chest tube clogging or occlusion can lead to worse outcomes as it prevents adequate drainage of the pleural space, contributing to the problem of retained hemothorax.
• Complications of the latter technique include hemorrhage into the lung and air leak in the pleural space between the lung and the chest wall ( pneumothorax ).
• The degree of clarity is an indicator of infection, cancer, or other conditions that may be causing the buildup of fluid or blood in the pleural space.
• Approximately 15 to 40 percent of people require surgical drainage of the infected pleural space because of inadequate drainage due to clogging of the chest tube or loculated empyema.
• Furthermore, complications such as pleural effusion or hemothorax can occur if the chest tubes fail to drain the fluid around the lung in the pleural space after a thoracotomy.
• As the blood thickens, it can clot in the pleural space ( leading to a retained hemothorax ) or within the chest tube, leading to chest tube clogging or occlusion.
• Small pulmonary lacerations frequently heal by themselves if material is removed from the pleural space, but surgery may be required for larger lacerations that do not heal properly or that bleed.
• Retained hemothorax occurs when blood remains in the pleural space, and is a risk factor for the development of complications, including the accumulation of pus in the pleural space and fibrothorax.
