Several studies indicate that observation alone is sufficient for the management of stable pneumothorax.

We searched PubMed and Google Scholar from inception until June 24, 2020, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing observational therapy with conventional therapy for the treatment of adult pneumothorax.

This review aims to summarize the major changes in the 2010 Heart and Stroke foundation of Canada (HSFC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) Pediatric Basic and Advanced Life Support Guidelines. The Guidelines were based on the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation's (ILCOR) comprehensive, evidence-based review of the resuscitation literature. The key recommendations from the Guidelines include: the removal of "look, listen and feel" and a de-emphasis on the use of the pulse check by healthcare providers to diagnose cardiac arrest; a change in the sequence of resuscitation for patients in cardiac arrest from the previously well-known "A-B-C" i.
