Passionate about your health journey.
Lung contusion, of course, will lead to sequelae. Because lung contusion, in fact, is the lung parenchyma damage, that is, the original integrity of the lung, lost a part of it, of course, there will be sequelae. Lung contusion often leads to respiratory failure, or even loss of circulatory function. once the patient shows respiratory failure, it is necessary to timely treat the patient with mechanical ventilation, not to let the failure time too long, otherwise it will lead to hypovolemic shock. If hypovolemic shock is present, the most important thing is not mechanical ventilation, but to supplement the patient's blood volume. First, supplement the blood volume, and then carry out mechanical ventilation treatment, so that the patient can slowly recover. Therefore, lung contusion is mainly treated for lung parenchyma injury. Usually, patients can eat more high-protein foods and do more periodic exercises to minimize lung damage and minimize the harm of this disease to the body.
