| Summary: |
As the bibliography defines it, pneumothorax is the accumulation of air in the pleural space, which can occur spontaneously, that is, by other conditions and the non-spontaneous one that is generally produced by a traumatic event. The diagnosis is generally confirmed with a chest X-ray, however, deeper studies may suggest a chest CT scan or blood gas analysis. The initial medical check-up is decisive to be able to identify what type of pneumothorax is present in order to decide the most appropriate treatment. The research methodology is a bibliographic review, supported by electronic media as the primary source for obtaining information. The management of pneumothorax involves two types of treatment, the first is therapeutic and the second is surgical, which includes conventional surgery or videothoracoscopic surgery. |
