small pneumothorax
This is the least dangerous form of pneumothorax.
Wikipedia states:
Die Diagnose durch Ultraschall ist eine neuere Methode, schnell, zuverlässig und für einen kleinen Pneumothorax (Mantelpneumothorax) sensibler.
Probably this expression is only used in German, hence only one google hit for coat p.

Comment: "Thanks Samira and all of you for your prompt replies. I actually preferred 'minor p.' but this had far fewer 'Google' hits than 'small pneumothorax', so I finally went for the latter."
