Lesson Summary. Pneumothorax is a collapsed lung due to gas in the pleural space of the chest. It can be open (air leaking in from outside via puncture) or closed (chest wall intact). The three major types of pneumothorax are: Spontaneous pneumothorax, which occurs suddenly or for no distinguishable reason.
There are four common conditions than can require surgical chest tube insertion, including: 1  pneumothorax (air leak from the lung into the chest) 2  hemothorax (bleeding into the chest) 3  empyema (lung abscess or pus in the chest)  pneumothorax or hemothorax after surgery or from trauma to the chest.
