Abstract: Objective To study the efficacy of pigtail catheter and central venous catheter in pneumothorax by thoracic close drainage.Methods 67 pneumo thoraxpatients were randomly divided into two groups,pigtail catheter group with 29 patients and central venous catheter group with 38 patients.The efficacy,ICU stay time and total hospitalization were compared.Results The efficacy in pigtail catheter group was 93.1％ (27 of 29 patients) and in central.venous catheter group was 73.7％ (28 of 38 patienes),a significant difference was observed (x2 =4.22,P ＜0.05).ICU stay time and total hospitalization in pigtail catheter group were(13.2 ± 6.3) d and (34.3 ± 21.4) d,in central venous catheter group there were(19.7 ± 8.3) d and (43.2 ± 25.5) d,significant differences were observed (t =2.42,2.13,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Thoracic close drainage with pigtail catheter in the treatment of pneumothorax is more effective than central venous catheter.
