A pneumothorax is when the lung has collapsed due to air entering the space around your lungs (known as the pleural space).
A tension pneumothorax is **a severe condition that results when air is trapped in the pleural space under positive pressure**, displacing mediastinal structures, and compromising cardiopulmonary function.
