Overview

Pneumothorax was first discovered by Hippocrates, about 2400 years ago who used a metal drain for treatment. In 1803, French physician Itard was the first to coin the term "pneumothorax." By 1952, synthetic, more flexible drains replaced metal tubes that were used for pneumothorax treatment. By 1980s, flexible and plastic drains were used that ranged between 6 and 40 French (F) in size.

Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies

  • Pneumothorax was first discovered by Hippocrates, about 2400 years ago who used a metal drain to treat it.[4]
