About

The use of vacuum bottle in drainage of pneumothorax was seldom reported. This study aims to investigate the safety of vacuum bottle plus non-tunneled catheter for drainage of iatrogenic pneumothorax.

Full description

For aspiration or drainage of pneumothorax, a 16-gauge or 18-gauge over-the-needle non-tunneled catheter, a pigtail, or chest tube are frequently used to penetrate the pleural space. A 50-ml or 60-ml syringe may be connected to the over-the-needle catheter or a pigtail for simple aspiration, while underwater-sealed bottle or suction drainage connected to chest tube for drainage of pneumothorax. Vacuum bottle for removing pleural effusion are frequently reported in literature and common in daily practice. However, the use of vacuum bottle in drainage of pneumothorax was seldom reported. This study aims to investigate the safety of vacuum bottle plus non-tunneled catheter for drainage of iatrogenic pneumothorax.
