2023年7月24日 · Spontaneous pneumothorax refers to the abnormal collection of gas in the pleural space between the lungs and the chest wall. Spontaneous pneumothorax occurs without an obvious etiology such as trauma or iatrogenic causes. Spontaneous pneumothorax can be classified as either primary or secondary.

2024年8月8日 · A pneumothorax can be caused by a blunt or penetrating chest injury, certain medical procedures, or damage from underlying lung disease. Or it may occur for no obvious reason. Symptoms usually include sudden chest pain and shortness of breath.

2023年11月16日 · A spontaneous pneumothorax is a collapsed lung that happens without an injury. Types include: Primary spontaneous pneumothorax: When no underlying health condition or disease causes the collapsed lung. This can happen if abnormal air pockets in your lung (blebs) break apart and release air.

2025年2月9日 · A spontaneous pneumothorax is a collapsed lung. Part or all of the lung may collapse. Air collects in the pleural space (the space between the lungs and chest wall). The trapped air prevents your lung from filling, and the lung collapses. A spontaneous pneumothorax can happen in one or both lungs.

2024年6月28日 · Pneumothorax can be a life-threatening condition that needs prompt attention. The management strategies of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP; presents in the absence of an external factor/underlying cause) and secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP; presents as a complication of underlying lung disease) ( table 1 ) differ in their ...

Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP), which is defined as a pneumothorax without underlying lung disease, predominantly occurs in young, thin males. It is usually caused by ruptured pleural blebs or bullae (Abdala et al., 2001; Chen Y.J. et al., 2008).

What is Spontaneous Pneumothorax? A spontaneous pneumothorax is the sudden onset of a collapsed lung without any apparent cause, such as a traumatic injury to the chest or a known lung disease. A collapsed lung is caused by the collection of air in the space around the lungs.

What is spontaneous pneumothorax? A spontaneous pneumothorax is the sudden onset of a collapsed lung without any apparent cause, such as a traumatic injury to the chest or a known lung disease. A collapsed lung is caused by the collection of air in the space around the lungs.

Primary spontaneous pneumothorax is an abnormal accumulation of air in the space between the lungs and the chest cavity (called the pleural space) that can result in the partial or complete collapse of a lung. This type of pneumothorax is described as primary because it occurs in the absence of lung disease such as emphysema.

Spontaneous pneumothorax is, as in humans, classified as primary or secondary, while traumatic pneumothorax is divided into open and closed (with or without chest wall damage). [65] The diagnosis may be apparent to the veterinary physician because the animal exhibits difficulty breathing in, or has shallow breathing.
