Pneumothorax is a medical condition characterized by the presence of air or gas in the pleural cavity, which is the space between the lung and the chest wall. This can lead to partial or complete collapse of the lung. Pneumothorax can be caused by trauma, lung disease, or certain medical procedures. Research in the area of pneumothorax focuses on improving diagnosis, treatment, and management of the condition. This includes studying risk factors, developing new imaging techniques for detection, exploring minimally invasive treatment options, and investigating potential complications and long-term outcomes. Overall, the goal of research in this area is to improve patient outcomes and quality of life for individuals with pneumothorax.
