Pediatric pneumothorax: Case studies and review of current literature

Pneumothorax is an abnormal collection of air between the lung and chest wall. Pneumothorax management guidelines put forth by the American College of Chest Physicians, European Respiratory Society, and British Thoracic Society are specific to adult patients. These guidelines' utility has not b...
