Background: Pneumothorax is a condition in which there is air between the parietal and visceral pleura. It is a fairly common respiratory disorder and can occur in a variety of clinical conditions and in individuals of all ages. Symptoms of pneumothorax vary, from mild chest discomfort and shortness of breath to a serious medical emergency with cardiorespiratory collapse requiring immediate intervention and further prevention.

Method: Critical nursing care is carried out with a nursing plan for 1x8 hours. Results: The implementation of this nursing care has been carried out using the critical assessment method, so that a nursing diagnosis is obtained based on the priority of the client's problems, namely the diagnosis of an ineffective breathing pattern overcome by administering oxygen according to the client's needs. The semi-Fowler position is also recommended to help reduce shortness of breath and maximize lung expansion. For the diagnosis of infection risk, aseptic wound care in the WSD surgical area is carried out to prevent infection. In the diagnosis of acute pain, deep breathing relaxation techniques are used as non-pharmacological interventions to reduce pain. The three nursing problems require further intervention 1x8 hours for 3 days. The client's nursing problems were resolved on the third day so the intervention was stopped. Conclusion: In critical nursing care for managed patients, it shows that client problems can be resolved because they meet the criteria for the results of the nursing problems raised
