Stable pneumothorax treatment depends on size

Small pneumothorax (apex-to-cupola distance < 3 cm):
- Low risk (no underlying lung disease): observation (repeat chest x-ray in 4-6 hours)
- Higher risk (underlying lung disease): observation or chest tube

Large pneumothorax (apex-to-cupola distance ≥ 3 cm): Chest tube regardless of risk

Unstable pneumothorax is usually treated as a tension pneumo
Suspected tension pneumothorax: Needle thoracostomy → tube thoracostomy (chest tube)
