The pleural space is a potential space under normal physiologic circumstances. It envelops the lung, the mediastinum, the diaphragm and the chest wall. A thin film of pleural fluid provides lubrication for the two pleural layers; only 2-10 ml of pleural fluid is present in healthy people.

Pneumothorax in the ED most often will be primary and spontaneous in a young person who may be treated with either chest tube, mini-chest tube, or aspiration of pneumothorax according to local preference. The other large group of pneumothoraces will be spontaneous but secondary to a disease process, procedure, or drug abuse. The treatment of these must

Imaging, 2004
Chest radiography is the imaging modality of choice in the initial investigation of pleural disease.Ultrasound is useful in the detection of pleural fluid and in guiding interventional procedures such as thoracentesis, needle biopsy and placement of drainage catheters. It may have a role in the rapid detection of pneumothorax in the acute setting.CT is

Asbestos-related pleural disease
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2012Asbestos exposure is the cause of significant pleural disease - both benign and malignant. Although there is increased awareness, individuals continue to be exposed, and we will continue to see its sequelae for years to come because of the delay between exposure and disease manifestation.
