Indications and morbidity of tube thoracostomy performed for traumatic and non-traumatic free pleural effusions in a low-income setting

Few data are available on the complications of TT performed for non-traumatic conditions, especially in low income setting. The aim of this study is to analyse the indications and complications of TT performed for both traumatic and non-traumatic conditions of the chest in a low-income environment. M...
متن کاملUtility of pleural fluid analysis in predicting tube thoracostomy/decortication in parapneumonic effusions.
Recommended criteria for surgical drainage of parapneumonic effusions include evidence of frank purulence, a glucose level less than 40 mg/dl, a pH of less than 7.00, or an LDH greater than 1,000 IU/L. To test the utility of these criteria, we reviewed the three-year experience of three Rochester, NY, hospitals. We identified 133 patients undergoing thoracentesis for putative parapneumonic effu...
متن کاملImpact of positive pressure ventilation on thoracostomy tube removal in traumatic patients who admitted in ICU
Introduction: Few studies is in literature related to evaluation of impact of positive pressure ventilation (PPV) on thoracostomy tube removal in Iran. We decided, in this study, to evaluate the impact of PPV on recurrent pneumothorax (PTX) after removal of thoracostomy tubes (TT). Methods: A case-control study was performed for evaluating 122 chest tubes in 109 mechanically ventilatedtrauma pa...

متن کاملComplications of tube thoracostomy in trauma.
OBJECTIVE To assess the complication rate of tube thoracostomy in trauma. To consider whether this rate is high enough to support a selective reduction in the indications for tube thoracostomy in trauma. METHODS A retrospective case series of all trauma patients who underwent tube thoracostomy during a 12 month period at a large UK teaching hospital with an accident and emergency (A&E) depart...
