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.
When pneumothorax is the cause of emphysema, then a subcutaneous emphysema chest tube is used to keep a tab on the situation. Due the placement of a chest tube, the source via which air is entering is eliminated. If the amount of air seeping in is increasing then the existing tube can be replaced by a larger one.
