What is pnuemothorax?
the presence of air or gas in the cavity between the lungs and the chest wall, causing collapse of the lung
Which organs are found in the chest protected by the rib?
chest lung and heart
Why are chest circumferences measured in adults?
Measuring chest circumference in adults is important for assessing lung function, heart health, and overall body composition. It can help detect abnormalities such as respiratory issues, heart conditions, or excessive weight gain that may impact one's health status. Tracking changes in chest circumference over time can also provide insights into the effectiveness of fitness routines or weight management efforts.
What do Lung cysts produce?
Lung cysts cause cough and chest pain
Which surgical specialty type treats chest diseases and heart and lung disorders?
A cardiologist is a heart specialist and a pulmonologist is a chest/lung doctor.
How do chest tubes work to fix a collapsed lung?
I am not in the medical field. But if a lung collapses it means that there is air getting between the lung and the chest cavity creating pressure against the lung. A tube placed in the chest wall will relieve the pressure there. When the lung fills with air it pushes the air out of the tube. Then you can block the tube to give the chest cavity back the slight vacuum it had before. That is why your chest expands when you breate in. I hope this is right and I am not stepping on any toes out there.
What cavity are the lung and heart in?
Chest cavity
What is pneumothorax-?
Air in the chest (Thorax) causes the lung to collapse. This can be spontaneous or after chest injuries
Where is whooping cough in the body?
chest/lung area
What is phenumothorax?
Literally "air in the thorax", or air in the chest (where it shouldn't be) When air leaks anywhere in the space between your lung and chest wall (normally filled with slippery fluid) it increases the pressure around your lung, and pushes on your lung. This leads to your lung collapsing in on itself, because the pressure required for it to inflate is much smaller than the one keeping it deflated. Usually, you only get a fraction of your lung truly collapsed.
Why must you seal an chest wound?
This stops air from entering the chest cavity, and prevents collapsing the lung.
