Abstract :
Introduction : Pneumothorax is classified into spontaneous traumatic or iatrogenic.A secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) is when pneumothorax occurs as a complication of underlying lung disease.Severity of COPD correlates with the likelihood of developing SSP.The high recurrence rate of spontaneous pneumothorax secondary to COPD highlightsthe need for the prevention of recurrence with cheap and cost–effective method.
Methodology
The current study was planned and conducted among the indoor patients admitted to the respiratory department in the tertiary care centre of central Maharashtra who are diagnosed to be having chronic pulmonary disease with secondary spontaneous pneumothorax. The study was done among 30 patients after considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results
Majority of the patients were males (93.3%). The patients mostly belonged to the age group of 51–60 years. Most common symptom was chest pain followed by eathlessness and cough. Majority were smokers(56.6%). Most of the lesions were right sided.Among the associated symptoms pulmonary tuberculosis was the commonest one with 16.6%.
Conclusion
Special care is required among males and smokers to prevent further complications.
