متن کاملA New Approach for Safe Tube Thoracostomy Insertion: An Objective and Subjective Comparison versus Established Techniques

We propose a new approach for inserting tube thoracostomies to improve the safety of this procedure, termed guided blunt dissection. In this article, we compared the safety of this new approach with traditional blunt dissection and two commercially available S...
