What are the types of pneumothorax?
There are four types of pneumothorax. The types are: traumatic pneumothorax, tension pneumothorax, primary spontaneous pneumothorax, and secondary spontaneous pneumothorax.
Can open pneumothorax lead to tension pneumothorax?
Yes, an open pneumothorax has the potential to evolve into a tension pneumothorax if air continues to enter the pleural space but has no means of escaping, leading to increasing pressure in the chest cavity and subsequent compression of the lungs and heart. Immediate medical intervention is necessary to prevent this progression.
What are you attempting to prevent by sealing a sucking chest wound with an occlusive dressing?
Tension pneumothorax
Is Tension Pneumothorax within an LVN's scope of practice or an RN's scope of practice?
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.

What is the difference between tension and compression structures?
compression zone is an positive zone,tension zone is an negative zone..
The difference between pleural effusion and a pneumothorax?
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.
What are you attempting to prevent by sealing a sucking chest wound?
Tension pneumothorax which is where the lung cavity fills with air and crushes the remaining good lung.
What is the difference between passive and active tension in muscle contraction?
Passive tension is the force exerted on a muscle when it is stretched, while active tension is the force generated by the muscle when it contracts.
What is the difference between voltage and Celsius?
Voltage measures electrical tension, Celsius measures temperature.
What pressure is the gas pressure between the visceral and parietal pleurae?
Lungs are totally elastic organs. They are kept in position by negative pressure in visceral and parietal pleura. There is no gas in cavity between both pleura. In fact both pleura are part of one one collapsed balloon. Very small amount of fluid in cavity between pleura keeps it lubricating. If air accidentally enters there, then there is a condition called as Pneumothorax. There is also a condition called as Tension Pneumothorax. Which is an emergency.
What was the main difference between Khrushchev and Brezhnev?
There was some relaxation of tension and animosity between the two countries, but not really enough to make much of a difference. The Cold War continued.
