Abstract
Pneumothorax is a common disease that is treated by various medical personnel because pneumothorax occurs in apparently healthy patients, and in patients accompanied with various lung diseases, systemic diseases, and thoracic interventions. The main specialists treating pneumothorax are emergency physicians, pulmonologists, and thoracic surgeons. Physicians in different fields are also involved, especially during the initial management. Therefore, clear indication of how to manage cases of pneumothorax must be provided, but this is not practiced.
