Impact of gender on patients admitted with spontaneous tension pneumothorax: a nationwide study
PURPOSE: A pneumothorax is a clinical condition where gas occupies the pleural space. A tension pneumothorax (TP) is when a pneumothorax leads to hemodynamic instability due to obstructive shock. Most cases of primary pneumothorax occur spontaneously in younger patients however older patients tend t...

A tension pneumothorax (TP) is when a pneumothorax leads to hemodynamic instability due to obstructive shock. Most cases of primary pneumothorax occur spontaneously in younger patients however older patients tend to present with secondary pneumothorax due to underlying pulmonary disease such as emphysema. To date, there is no description of any gender disparities in the incidence and outcomes of patients admitted with tension pneumothorax.... |
