Main reasons
1.1. Large quantity of gas accumulation Large quantity of gas accumulation → disappearance of pleural negative → disappearance of pleural negative pressure →increased pressure on pressure →increased pressure on heart & large blood vessels →reduce heart & large blood vessels →reduce cardiac output, rapid arrhythmia, cardiac output, rapid arrhythmia, hypotension, even shockhypotension, even shock
2.2. Tension pneumothorax → shift of Tension pneumothorax → shift of mediastinum →circulatory disorders, mediastinum →circulatory disorders, even death of suffocationeven death of suffocation
