创伤后血胸
Mild to severe restrictive ventilatory defects are the hallmark of pulmonary function compromise from fibrothorax. Treatment consists of decortication, with surgical removal of the fibrous peel from the visceral pleura. Functional lung recovery is dependent upon the amount of underlying parenchymal disease. If there is minimal to no underlying parenchymal disease, decortication results in significant recovery of lung function. However, if there is concomitant parenchymal fibrosis, little functional recovery will occur despite decortication. Interestingly, even decortication in those patients with long-standing fibrothorax of 20-40 years duration may prove beneficial in the absence of parenchymal fibrosis. Generalized fibrothorax encasing the affected lung complicates <1% of hemothoraces.
