Dear lybrate-user
sorry to hear this. Pneumothorax is air in the lungs. It is not always critical. Depends on how severe it is. However, you mentioned that your father has been on the ventilator. Whether the situation is critical will also depend on how his reponse to ventilator has been. Speak freely to the consultant treating your father. All the best.

Dear Lybrate user, copd patients usually have a lower spo2 level compared to normal people.
Your patient may require adjustment / change of inhaled medicines to increase lung capacity and spo2 levels.
Kindly get following tests-
1. Chest x ray pa view
2. Pft test
and consult a pulmonologist for further advice.
Wishing speedy recovery.

As your mother is having metastatic lung cancer she would have had primary site if her cancer somewhere else in her body which after treatment or with no treatment now has reached her lungs. The ideal treatment for your mother is to go for radio or chemo therapy but as a family member if you have decided not to go for that there are palliative treatment options available for her which will not treat the cancer but can give her some relief from her severe bone pain.
Thanks and kindly feedback...more
