Science Fiction Network, December 27th: Recently, doctors have warned that people who have a fever or cough should be alert to the presence of white lungs and recommend going to the hospital for a CT scan. What exactly does "white lungs" mean? CT is a fully functional disease detection instrument, which is the abbreviation of computerized X-ray tomography technology. A normal lung X-ray can be seen to be black, with clear lung texture and unobstructed air cavity, without abnormal lines, high and low density shadows, cavities, calcification and other abnormal manifestations. If the X-ray shows a white patch, it is white lung. This is because the lungs have lost the ability to absorb oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, resulting in hypoxia, which may be life-threatening. "White lung" is clinically called "acute lung injury". There are many causes of acute lung injury, including viruses, bacteria, shock, foreign body inhalation, crush injuries, and even iatrogenic infections related to treatment, blood/plasma transfusions, cardiopulmonary bypass, surgery, etc. can all cause lung injury... The imaging manifestation of acute lung injury is "white lung", which is actually an inflammatory reaction of the lungs, which is the body's response to various pathogens. The key to the treatment of "white lung" disease is to find the cause and provide timely and effective comprehensive treatment. In addition to drug treatment, airway management, respiratory support therapy, nutritional support and nursing treatment, and psychological counseling are equally important. (Editor: Qin Yingying) |
