spontaneous pneumothorax
(Tıp) kendiliğinden pnömotoraks
English - English
Presence of air inside the pleural cavity, usually caused by injury either to the lung or the chest wall
A condition in which air or other gas is present in the cavity of the chest; called also pneumatothorax
When there is air between the lung and chest wall if a lung has leaked air
Accumulation of air in the pleural space
collapse of the lung with air in the potential space between the lung and the chest wall
abnormal collection of air outside the lining of the lung, between the lung and the chest wall, often a consequence of barotraumas
An accumulation of air or gas in the pleural space, which may occur spontaneously or as a result of trauma or a pathological process, or be introduced deliberately (Dorland, 27th ed)
 A collection of air in the chest but outside the lung  It is treated by inserting a chest tube through the chest wall to withdraw the air
Spontaneous collapse of the lung This occurs in about 1 of 20 people with the Marfan syndrome
A collection of air or gas in the pleural cavity as a result of disease or injury
{i} air in the pleural cavity, air in the chest cavity (Medicine)
Am abnormal collection of air outside the lining of the lung, between the lung and the chest wall, often a consequence of pressure injuries (barotraumas)
An accumulation of air or gas in the pleural cavity, which may occur spontaneously or as a result of trauma, or a pathological process
Accumulation of air or gas in the space between the lung and chest wall, resulting in partial or complete collapse of the lung
air leaks into the space between the chest wall and the outer tissues of the lungs
abnormal presence of air in the pleural cavity resulting in the collapse of the lung; may be spontaneous (due to injury to the chest) or induced (as a treatment for tuberculosis)
air in the pleural cavity Any breach of the lung surface or chest wall allows air to enter the pleural cavity, causing the lung to collapse The leak can occur without apparent cause, in otherwise healthy people (spontaneous pneumothorax), or result from injuries to the chest (traumatic pneumothorax) In tension pneumothorax a breach in the lung surface acts as a valve, admitting air into the pleural cavity when the patient breathes in but preventing its escape when he breathes out This air must be let out by surgical incision
collapsed lung with air in the pleural space
The presence of air or gas in space that holds the lungs
An accumulation of air in the chest cavity that results from a rupture in the lungs
the injection of air or nitrogen into the chest cavity to collapse a lung, which was intended to encourage the body's natural healing responses
spontaneous pneumothorax
A pulmonary condition resulting in the collection of air within the chest, which occurs absent traumatic injury. Spontaneous Pneumothorax are considered a medical emergency, generally requiring assistive radiographic evaluation to determine the extent of lung collapse, as well as determine the most appropriate course of emergency medical treatment for the patient. Abbreviated as SP
tension pneumothorax
A tension pneumothorax is a life-threatening condition that results from a progressive deterioration and worsening of a simple pneumothorax, associated with the formation of a one-way valve at the point of rupture
