Is blood accumulation in the lungs serious?

Coughing is a disease that has a great impact on the human lungs, so when a person's cough is serious, he may even cough up blood. Some people have blood accumulation in their lungs, which is caused by many diseases. The lungs control a person's respiratory function. If there is severe blood accumulation in the lungs, it will make it difficult for people to breathe and cause respiratory failure. So how serious is the blood accumulation in the lungs?

Everyone knows that lung injury is a lung disease that is difficult to cure, so many times people are looking for treatments for lung injury. Everyone wants to know what treatments there are for lung injury. Let’s take a look at what treatments there are for lung injury. I hope everyone understands.

Treatment of lung injury

Patients with pulmonary hematoma and traumatic air cavity, if they have difficulty breathing, should be given 100% oxygen inhalation through nasal cannula or mask during emergency examination, and analgesics should be given to relieve chest pain and facilitate breathing. After the diagnosis is confirmed by a chest X-ray, the patient will be admitted to the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment. To prevent inflammation after lung contusion, antibiotics should be given for about 1 week. Closely observe changes in the condition, repeat chest X-rays, and observe changes in lung shadows, whether the hematoma and air cavity shadows are absorbed or whether diffuse villous shadows appear, indicating the possibility of developing respiratory distress syndrome.

Complications of pulmonary parenchymal lacerations (hemothorax, pneumothorax, or hemopneumothorax) should be managed accordingly. In cases with severe air leakage or massive bleeding, no response to various measures, unstable vital signs and gradually worsening condition, thoracotomy should be performed immediately, the leaking bronchi and bleeding blood vessels should be sutured, and then the torn lung tissue should be sutured, and lung tissue should be preserved as much as possible. For extensively torn and fragmented lung tissue, only local resection should be performed. After the operation, closed chest drainage was placed and observation was continued.

This is a summary of the treatments for lung injury. I hope that patients with lung injury will not make incorrect treatments when treating their own diseases, so as to avoid lung injury endangering the patient's life and causing incurable consequences of lung injury. Finally, I wish all patients with lung injury to receive good treatment in the early stages of their lung injury.
