TRX SESSION: Pneumothorax is defined as the presence of air in the pleural space. This causes a greater or lesser collapse of the lung and the corresponding repercussion on the patient's respiratory and hemodynamic mechanics. Penetrating wounds to the chest wall, both by stabbing and firearms, produce N by injuring the lung and / or creating communication between the pleural space and the outer atmosphere. They are frequently associated with lesions of other thoracic organs and with complicated N (tension N, hemopneumothorax, or open N). Thoracic contusions usually cause N due to rib fractures and the consequent lung laceration. High-energy impact contusions (traffic accident, fall from height) can cause N secondary to a rupture of the lung or mediastinal organs by the compression or deceleration mechanism.
