Article Synopsis
  • Management of first episodes of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (air in the chest cavity) is debated, with this study comparing simple aspiration and chest tube drainage as treatment methods.
  • The trial involved 402 adults aged 18-50 and measured lung expansion 24 hours post-treatment, finding a higher failure rate in the aspiration group (29%) compared to the chest tube group (18%).
  • Despite higher failure rates, the aspiration method resulted in less overall pain and fewer complications, with recurrence rates of pneumothorax being 20% for aspiration and 27% for drainage.
