In rare cases pneumomediastinum can be fatal. These cases are caused when a lung collapses because of air build up in the space around the lung or when air builds up in the chest, pushing the heart and blood vessels.
Supposedly only 4 people have died from it Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Deaths_from_pneumothorax if you have it, my guess is that you wont die
Tension pneumothorax can cause death rapidly due to inadequate heart output or insufficient blood oxygen
Surface tension. It always tends to acquire minimum surface area thats why water droplets form spherical shape.
Surface tension is found in Liquid
The inward force among the molecules of a liquid is Surface Tension
The highest surface tension at 15 0C is the surface tension of mercury: 487 dyn/cm.
As heat increases the surface tension decreases.

There are four types of pneumothorax. The types are: traumatic pneumothorax, tension pneumothorax, primary spontaneous pneumothorax, and secondary spontaneous pneumothorax.
tracheal deviation
Tension pneumothorax
Tension pneumothorax is a diagnosis, not an intervention. Nurse practice acts define the scope of practice in terms of interventions, not in terms of medical problems. Consider what interventions you're asking about.

Tension pneumothorax which is where the lung cavity fills with air and crushes the remaining good lung.
Pneumothorax is the result of an injury where air gets into the chest cavity. It can result from an open wound in the chest, such as by being stabbed, or it can occur from a closed wound such as broken ribs. Tension pneumothorax is the buildup of air in the chest cavity collapses the lung and puts pressure on the heart, which then can't pump blood effectively.
Most people recover fully from spontaneous pneumothorax
do not take too much of tension. tension can kill a man very easily.
A pneumothorax is a pocket of air in the chest cavity, and a hemothorax is a pocket of blood.
Pneumothorax produced by the injection of air, or a more slowly absorbed gas such as nitrogen, into the pleural space to collapse the lung
