Question

SIS Differentiate between Hydrothorax and pneumothorax​

Answer 1

Answer:

Differentiate between Hydrothorax and pneumothorax​

Explanation:

A pneumothorax can be defined as air in the pleural cavity[1]. This occurs when there is a breach of the lung surface or chest wall which allows air to enter the pleural cavity and consequently cause the lung to collapse.Also referred to as a spontaneous pneumothorax or primary spontaneous pneumothorax. It is characterized by having no clear cause or no known underlying lung pathology.

There may be contributing factors, such as cigarette smoke, family history, the rupture of the bulla (small air-filled sacs in the lung tissue) but these will not cause pneumothorax itself.ॐॐॐ
