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...
