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. By 1980s, flexible and plastic drains were used that ranged between 6 and 40 French (F) in size.
