Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: pneumo- comb. form, thorax n.

Etymology: < pneumo- comb. form + thorax n., after French pneumothorax ( J. M. Itard Dissertation sur le pneumothorax ou les congestions gazeuses qui se forment dans la poitrine (1803)). Compare pneumatothorax n. at pneumato- comb. form .

1821 J. Forbes tr. R. T. H. Laennec Treat. Dis. Chest i. ii. v. 204 The disease is named by M. Itard, Pneumo-thorax.

1843 T. Watson Lect. Physic II. liii. 120 When the pleura contains air alone, the patient is said to have pneumothorax.

1894 Pall Mall Gaz. 20 Dec. 7/3 It seems not improbable that the immediate cause of [Stevenson's] death may have been pneumothorax.

1974 R. J. McCormack in R. E. Smith & W. G. Williams Surg. of Lung x. 241 All but the smallest pneumothoraces should be treated initially with intercostal water-seal drainage.

1995 Observer 17 Sept. (Life Suppl.) 62/1 The worst form of pneumothorax is a so-called ‘tension pneumothorax’ where the rising pressure of air in the pleural space does not just collapse the injured lung, but keeps building with each breath, squeezing the heart and compressing the lung on the opposite side of the chest.

2. More fully artificial pneumothorax. The deliberate introduction of air or gas into the pleural cavity, for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes; (an instance of) the condition induced in this manner.Artificial pneumothorax was commonly used in the treatment of tuberculosis in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

1885 Lancet 16 May 894/2 Mr. Charters Symonds spoke of the induction of artificial pneumothorax as having been suggested by Dr. Mahomed in a case on which they had held a consultation. The aim of the operation was to be the arrest of phthisis.

1923 Brit. Jrnl. Tuberculosis 17 109 When inducing an artificial pneumothorax, the gas employed is usually oxygen, but after the first insufflation nitrogen or filtered air may be equally well used.

1937 A. J. Cronin Citadel iv. viii. 320 He was chary of using pneumothorax and his percentage of inductions was the lowest in the hospital.

1974 R. Passmore & J. S. Robson Compan. Med. Stud. III. xviii. 74/1 Once a mainstay of treatment for the control of tuberculous lesions, therapeutic artificial pneumothorax has now been abandoned. In modern medicine artificial pneumothorax is occasionally used as diagnostic procedure.

1993 European Respiratory Jrnl. 6 1544 The procedure [sc. thoracoscopy] can be performed either under local or general anaesthesia, with or without double lumen intubation, after inducing an artificial pneumothorax.
