A patient presenting with sudden onset of unilateral chest pain and dyspnea following a motor vehicle accident is likely exhibiting symptoms of a traumatic pneumothorax.
True
False
The description of sudden onset chest pain and dyspnea, particularly after a traumatic event such as a motor vehicle accident, strongly suggests a traumatic pneumothorax. This condition occurs when air enters the pleural space due to chest trauma, leading to collapse of the lung on the affected side, which aligns with the presenting symptoms.
