Difference between Hypercapnia and Pneumothorax

Hypercapnia vs. Pneumothorax

Hypercapnia, also known as hypercarbia and CO2 retention, is a condition of abnormally elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the blood. A pneumothorax is an abnormal collection of air in the pleural space between the lung and the chest wall.

Similarities between Hypercapnia and Pneumothorax

Hypercapnia and Pneumothorax have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Barotrauma, Blood pressure, Lung, Oxygen, Pulmonology, Respiratory disease, Shortness of breath, Tachypnea.
