Normally come in contact with these Algshaouan each other, there's no air between them. With the accumulation of air in the vacuum begins to put pressure on the lung. This may lead to a contraction of the lung and the occurrence of respiratory depression.
This situation can occur when an object - such as a knife or a broken rib - tearing down the outer surface of the lung or punctured lung. It is likely to occur on its own (pneumothorax automatic). Some people, especially those with swollen pneumonia or asthma, they have bags of air (called pulmonary blisters or bubbles), the size of large grapes on the outside of the lungs.
