    The document describes the pathophysiology of a pneumothorax, or collapsed lung, listing signs and symptoms like shortness of breath, rapid breathing, and pale skin that result from trauma to the chest causing a lung to rupture and air/blood to leak into the pleural cavity. It then lists factors like blunt chest trauma, a ruptured lung membrane, and pressure changes in the chest that can lead to a pneumothorax and potentially death if not treated.
