What is Overview of Pneumothorax Types about?

Pneumothorax is a collapsed lung that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lungs and chest wall. It can be caused by chest injuries, lung diseases, or mechanical ventilation. There are three types: open pneumothorax involves an open chest wall wound, closed pneumothorax has no wound, and tension pneumothorax traps air in the pleural space. Symptoms include chest pain and shortness of breath. Treatment involves inserting a chest tube to drain air and re-expand the lung.
