Recently, Li Jiaxin's staff released the details of her condition:
In the middle of the night on the 10th, she began to feel breathless and uncomfortable, and her heartbeat reached 140 or 150 beats per minute. In the early hours of the morning, she felt unable to breathe and unstable, so she immediately contacted the doctor, who found that her blood pressure and blood oxygen were very low and needed to be admitted to the hospital in time.
After arriving at the hospital, after consultation with the cardiothoracic and nephrologist, he was immediately sent to the ICU, at that time, the internal organs had almost stopped functioning, fortunately the mind was still awake, if the blood could not reach the brain, it may damage the brain and become a vegetative person.
After 2 hours of rescue in the ICU, until the pleural effusion was withdrawn, the situation improved, really as she said: pick up a life!
However, it is worth noting that Li Jiaxin usually pays attention to exercise and health, and her body has always been very good, what is the pleural effusion mentioned in the news? What are the hazards?
Pleural effusion is a common clinical symptom characterized by pathological fluid accumulation in the pleural space. The pleural space is a potential gap between the visceral layer and the parietal pleura, there is 5 to 15 ml of liquid in the normal human pleural cavity, which plays a lubricating role in breathing exercise, and there are 500 to 1000 ml of liquid formation and absorption in the pleural space every day, and any reason leads to an increase in the production or absorption of fluid in the pleural space, which can produce a pleural effusion. According to its mechanism of occurrence, it can be divided into two categories: leaky pleural effusion and exudative pleural effusion.
When the amount of fluid effusion is less than 0.3 liters, the symptoms are not significant; If it exceeds 0.5 liters, the patient may feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. When the physician conducts a full physical examination of the patient, he will notice that some of the percussions are dull and the sound of inhalation is reduced. When the amount of fluid is large, the double pleura thickens and separates, it is no longer rubbed with the inhalation, and the chest pain is gradually reduced, but the breathing problem will slowly worsen. If the effusion is further enlarged, the mediastinal internal organs are stressed, and the patient will have significant palpitations and difficulty breathing.
Which diseases are prone to pleural effusion?
01 Pleurisy
Because the pleural effusion is mainly caused by bacterial infection, if the patient has pleurisy, it is not timely and effective treatment, it will easily cause a series of complications, pleural effusion is a common complication. Therefore, when a patient has symptoms of pleurisy, it is necessary to carry out effective treatment in time, so as to avoid the occurrence of pleurisy lesions and cause pleural effusions.
02 Myocardial infarction syndrome
Myocardial infarction syndrome, first reported in 1956 by Dressler. It is thought that this may be due to an autoimmune reaction. Occurs more often within 2 to 3 weeks or months after acute myocardial infarction, with an incidence of 3% to 4%. Pleural effusion may occur in about 60% to 70% of patients with pleura involvement. Treatment focuses on the treatment of the primary disease, with thoracentesis aspiration and a good prognosis.
03 Other causes of pleural effusion
Peritoneal dialysis, pneumothorax trauma, drug allergies, rheumatic fever, systemic lupus erythematosus, mucinous edema, post-thoracic surgery, pneumothorax, esophageal fistula, trauma secondary to purulent infection after thoracentesis, pneumothorax (with pleural mucous band tearing) trauma caused by rupture of the chest catheter, filariasis, etc.
If a pleural effusion is detected, how should it be treated?
01
If you want to effectively treat pleural effusion, the most important thing is to determine the type of pleural effusion, generally in the pleural effusion is more, you need to perform drainage to drain the fluid, at this time you can perform pleural fluid tests by the way, to understand the components and judge the precipitating factors of pleural effusion.
If it is a small amount of pleural effusion, you can first carry out routine medical examinations, generally the pleural effusion caused by various diseases, the color is not the same, especially the pleural effusion caused by cancer is usually red, which is easier to judge.
Under normal circumstances, through routine laboratory tests, the cause of pleural effusion can be clearly diagnosed, and the patient needs to actively cooperate with the doctor at this time, and after drainage, it is also necessary to pay more attention to their physical condition, maintain hygiene, and avoid infection.
02
The diet of pleural effusion with medical staff should first choose a semi-liquid food that is very easy to digest and absorb, and the lung cancer pleural effusion generally makes it impossible for patients to eat, and semi-liquid food is more convenient for patients to take. However, this semi-liquid diet should also ensure adequate nutrients, and it is best to pick some things that the patient likes and make it into a semi-liquid diet to enhance the patient's appetite.
In the diet of pleural effusion with medical staff, if the patient can still eat normally, the solid ingredients of high-protein foods should be prepared in advance, such as fresh vegetables and fruits and some fresh fruits in the season, which cannot be overly greasy when cooking dishes, and the light taste of the diet has a great assistance to the patient. Can add some small decorations to the patient's diet to stimulate the patient's senses, improve the patient's stomach acid metabolism, so that the patient can digest and absorb nutrients stronger, and the treatment and repair of the disease is also reasonable!
For pleural effusions, all normal people in the chest cavity is generally 3 to 15ml of fluid, but because the blood accumulation in the pleural cavity is not set in stone, so if you feel chest pain and fever, you need to go to the hospital to do an examination to see if your own pleural effusion is beyond the standard, and then according to the results of the examination and diagnosis, to develop a relative response countermeasure.
