Shortness of breath and hissing sounds from a chest wound may indicate a pneumothorax, where air enters the pleural space due to a rupture in the lung or chest wall. This can lead to lung collapse and impaired breathing. The hissing sound often results from air escaping through the wound or a defect in the chest wall, which can compromise ventilation. Immediate medical attention is essential to address the underlying issue and prevent further complications.
