A primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) tends to occur in a young adult without underlying lung problems, and usually causes limited symptoms. Chest pain and sometimes mild breathlessness are the usual predominant presenting features. [12] [13] In newborns tachypnea, cyanosis and grunting are the most common presenting symptoms. [14]
There are several causes for a tracheal deviation, and the condition often presents along with difficulty breathing, coughing and abnormal breath sounds. The most common cause of tracheal deviation is a pneumothorax, which is a collection of air inside the chest, between the chest cavity and the lung. A pneumothorax can be spontaneous, caused ...
Naproxen (Aleve)* has a long half-life in dogs and can cause gastrointestinal irritation, anemia, melena (digested blood in feces), and vomiting. [175] Antifreeze* is very dangerous to dogs and causes central nervous system depression and acute kidney injury. Treatment needs to be within eight hours of ingestion to be successful. [174]
More than 200 dogs in the United States reportedly were sick this year from a mysterious respiratory illness that can sometimes develop into pneumonia and has shown resistance to antibiotics.
More than 83% of people with BHD have cysts, but the syndrome does not cause conditions like progressive chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or generalized respiratory failure, [2] though it does cause emphysema. [4] Spontaneous, sometimes recurrent, [5] pneumothorax occurs far more often and at a younger age with BHD than in the unaffected ...
Diaphragmatic rupture in a dog. Diaphragmatic rupture is a common and well-known complication of blunt abdominal trauma in cats and dogs. The organs that herniate into the pleural cavity are determined by the location of the rupture. They are most commonly circumferential tears that occur at the attachment of the diaphragm and rib.
Spontaneous pneumothorax is common. [24] In spontaneous unilateral pneumothorax, air escapes from a lung and occupies the pleural space between the chest wall and a lung. The lung becomes partially compressed or collapsed. This can cause pain, shortness of breath, cyanosis, and, if not treated, death.
Those with an abnormal accumulation of air within the pleural space (a pneumothorax) can bleed into the cavity, which occurs in about 5% of cases of spontaneous pneumothorax, [8] especially when lung bullae rupture. [11] The resulting combination of air and blood within the pleural space is known as a hemopneumothorax. [8]
