Abstract:
123 patients with spontaneous pneumothorax (including 5 patients with bilateral pneumothorax) were treated in Military Hospital No103, aged 16-83, the sex and age were concernless. The incidence of right pneumothorax (64,4%), higher than a left (31,8%). This meidence in the group of occupations requiring physical strength is higher than in the group of sedentary and intellectual occupations. The onset manifests suddenly after an effort (76,3%). Clinical symptoms are violent suddenly pain of the chest (88,6%) dyspnea in the first hours (74,1%) enlarging intercostal clift in the sick side impairing the respiratory, gillard triad (99,1%). CT scaner has big value in determining the cause of pneumothorax (coefficiency of Kppa = 0,8). The continuous aspirating draining of pleural cavity in combining with creating pleural adhesive by autotransfusion is simple, inexpensive and efficacy method of treatment
