Pneumothorax, or air in the chest.
Looks like a Pneumothorax.
A Pneumothorax is usually noticed soon after the injury.
Traumatic Pneumothorax is generally open,
while spontaneous Pneumothorax is always closed.
Other lung diseases which may be complicated by a Pneumothorax include;
Dr von Muralt suggested that a so-called left-sided Pneumothorax should be performed.
History of previous Pneumothorax may be a contra-indication(see BTS website for more details).
This is repeated until most of the air of the Pneumothorax is removed.
This is similar to a Pneumothorax except that there is blood, not air, trapped around the lung.
Pneumothorax/air trapping:
signs may include tracheal deviation, shifted heart sounds and decreased air entry on the affected side.
But cigarette smoking may increase a person's
risk of a recurrence if they have already had a Pneumothorax.
When the Pneumothorax is larger,
a doctor usually inserts a tube or needle between your ribs to remove the excess air.
When the Pneumothorax is larger,
doctors usually insert a flexible tube or needle between your ribs to remove the excess air.
Some people are more at risk of a punctured lung(Pneumothorax) at altitude, despite the fact that the aircraft cabin is pressurised.
In instances where only a
small portion of the lung has collapsed, and the Pneumothorax is considered limited,
treatment may not be needed.
Activity is not limited
but children with an unresected CCAM should avoid any activity which may cause a Pneumothorax(eg, diving, unpressurised air travel).
So, for example, a Pneumothorax may develop as a complication of chronic obstructive airways disease(COPD)-
especially where lung bullae have developed in this disease.

Ventilators capable of pressure control modes and high PEEP are needed to maximise oxygen delivery while minimising the risk of ventilator-associated lung injury and Pneumothorax.
