Pneumothorax - Pneumothorax (collapsed lung): Causes, symptoms, and treatment
In some cases, the only significant abnormality may be the "", in which the normally small space between the chest wall and the appears enlarged due to the abnormal presence of fluid.
The pressure of this air causes the lung to collapse on itself.
Critical care teams are able to incise the chest to create a larger conduit as performed when placing a chest drain, but without inserting the chest tube.
If the collapse is small, it may be monitored and left to heal independently.
Symptoms of spontaneous pneumothorax might appear when a person is at rest.
The risk of contracting a first spontaneous pneumothorax is elevated among male and female smokers by factors of approximately 22 and 9, respectively, compared to matched non-smokers of the same sex.
Description: Tension pneumothorax Tension pneumothorax is not a classification of pneumothorax but a term that reflects the severity of pneumothorax.
