Pneumothorax

Studies & trials

  • HI-SPEC*
    A national randomised controlled trial exploring the benefits of ambulatory management in patients with pneumothorax due to underlying lung disease. This study is not yet published.
  • RAMPP
    A national randomised controlled trial exploring the benefits of a novel ambulatory pleural vent, in comparison to standard care, for patients without underlying lung disease. This study is not yet published.

A pneumothorax

sometimes also referred to as a “collapsed lung”, describes the presence of air in the space between the chest wall and the outside of the lung. A pneumothorax can be caused by trauma to the chest, underlying damage to the lung, or can occur spontaneously, and usually causes sudden breathlessness and pain.
