INTRODUCTION The management and removal of thoracostomy tubes for trauma-related hemothorax and pneumothorax is controversial. General recommendations exist; however, institutional data related to an algorithmic approach has not been well described. The difficulty in establishing an algorithm centers about individualized patients' needs for subsequent management after thoracostomy tube placemen...

Hemothorax is common in elderly patients following blunt chest trauma. Traditionally, tube thoracostomy is the first choice for managing this complication. The goal of this study was to determine the benefits of this approach in elderly patients with and without an initial tube thoracostomy. Seventy-eight patients aged >65 years with blunt chest trauma and stable vital signs were included. All ...

We report on a previously undocumented complication of a trocar-free thoracostomy tube--delayed perforation of a normal esophagus. The complication presented clinically with fever and copious enteric drainage four days after thoracostomy tube insertion. Diagnosis was established by a contrast study of the esophagus. Retrospectively, the postinsertion chest radiograph showed the offending thorac...

This randomised study was designed to compare clinical outcomes for simple aspiration versus tube thoracostomy, in the treatment of the first primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) attack. A randomised trial, comparing simple aspiration with tube thoracostomy, in 137 patients with a first episode of PSP was carried out. Immediate success was obtained in 40 out of the 65 patients (62%) randomly ...

BACKGROUND The usual management of ventilator-associated pneumothorax (VPX) is tube thoracostomy. However, this recommendation is based on tradition rather than on solid evidence. Although it has been applied successfully to other types of pneumothoraces, observation has not been used in the management of VPX. OBJECTIVES In this study, we investigated whether observation is a valid treatment ...

We read with interest the article on prehospital thoracostomy published in the journal [1] and the correspondence that followed recently [2,3]. We work on the unit where the intervention was originally described [4]. In the last 10 years 1079 thoracostomies have been performed on prehospital patients in our system. This amounts to 9% of trauma patients attended in the same period. We are aware ...
