I think that it's mucus. but if you have a lung disease it could be that.
The green fluid is likely pus, which may indicate an infection within the collapsed lung. This condition is known as empyema and requires medical attention to drain the pus and treat the infection.
Pneumothorax is a condition where air leaks into the space between the lung and the chest wall, leading to lung collapse. This can cause symptoms like shortness of breath and chest pain. Treatment may involve inserting a chest tube to remove the air and allow the lung to re-inflate.
The presence of fluid in lung tissue is called pulmonary edema. This condition can be caused by heart failure, infections, lung injuries, or other medical conditions. Symptoms include shortness of breath, coughing, and chest pain.
A restrictive pattern on pulmonary function tests can be caused by conditions such as interstitial lung diseases, sarcoidosis, obesity, or neuromuscular disorders. These conditions often lead to reduced lung volume and decreased lung compliance, resulting in a restrictive pattern characterized by decreased lung volumes and preserved airflow.
The fluid present between the lungs and the ribs is called pleural fluid. It acts as a lubricant, allowing the lungs to move smoothly during breathing. It also helps maintain the pressure in the pleural space for proper lung function.
Fluid is typically removed from the lungs through a process called drainage or suctioning. This can be achieved through medical interventions like the use of a chest tube or medications to help the body reabsorb the excess fluid. In some cases, supplemental oxygen may also be given to help alleviate breathing difficulty caused by fluid accumulation.
it is mucous in nature and is called pleural fluid
Atelectasis is the collapsing of a lungwhen there is an interference with the natural forces that promote lung expansion. Pneumonia is an inflammatory process and infection, usually involving fluid in the lungs.Atelectasis is basically a collapsed lung.
no
This stops air from entering the chest cavity, and prevents collapsing the lung.
Prevent air from entering the potential space in the pariatal lining and collapsing the lung.
The deliberate collapsing of a lung during thoracic operations to facilitate surgical procedure by absence of movement.
The negative pressure in the pleural fluid helps maintain the lung's inflation and expansion by creating a pulling force that keeps the lungs against the chest wall. This negative pressure is necessary for the lungs to remain inflated and for effective breathing to occur. It also helps to prevent the lungs from collapsing.

An infiltrate is an accumulation of fluid or other material seen in the lung on imaging.
Talc is a medication drug that closes and stops leakage from lungs. Doctors use it to control fluid in the lung,
