Can open pneumothorax lead to tension pneumothorax?
yes
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.

Is Tension Pneumothorax within an LVN's scope of practice or an RN's scope of practice?

compression zone is an positive zone,tension zone is an negative zone..
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 torsion force and tension force?
