Traumatic pneumothorax - what does this mean
Traumatic pneumothorax occurs when air accumulates in the space between the lungs and chest wall due to a blunt or penetrating chest injury, causing the lung to collapse. it can be caused by a rib fracture, a tear in the lung tissue, or a penetrating wound.
What happens during the disease - traumatic pneumothorax
Traumatic pneumothorax is a condition in which air enters the pleural space between the lungs and chest wall, leading to a decrease in the amount of air that can be exchanged in the lungs. this is usually caused by a blunt or penetrating chest trauma, such as a car accident or gunshot wound, which can disrupt the integrity of the chest wall and allow air to enter the pleural space. the increased pressure in the pleural space causes the lung to collapse, leading to difficulty breathing and decreased oxygenation of the blood.
