This isn't right. A pneumothorax is when air is in the pleural space. Whether pressure is positive, 0, or negative does not affect whether there is a pneumothorax. Now, an tension pneumothorax is when pressure is positive, which isn't mentioned here. Kd4ttc (talk) 04:14, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
Wording
I corrected a few sentences into Wikipedia tone. I think this article needs to be re-written to follow the Wikipedia style of writing. Datapass talk | contribs 11:37, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
Wording is unclear and confusion
The wordings of this article make the concept difficult to follow. For example, in the sentence "…between the intrapulmonary pressure and intrapleural pressure is that the pressure becomes more negative…", to which pressure is the author referring? Furthermore, the colloquial phrase "…get sucked in" is hardly the caliber for an encyclopedic offering. Perhaps simply tru to explain it, like movement of air into the lung cavity. 108.21.243.200 (talk) 13:05, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
