Abstract
Pneumothorax is defined as the presence of gas or air within the pleural space. Standard treatment is usually based on the evacuation of the gas by various methods. The thoracic vent is a relatively new device used in the treatment of pneumothorax. This report focuses on the first major complication, as far as is known, associated with the use of a thoracic vent.Entities:
