Abstract:
Objective To investigate the two kinds if thoracic cavity closed drainage contrast analysis and evaluate the pigtail catheter for treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax in adolescents.Methods This study included 53 adolescent patients with the first spontaneous pneumothorax in Huaihe Hospital of Henan University between January 2013 and December 2015.According to the different operation ways,they were divided into two groups:silicone tube and pigtail catheter group.The following post-operative data was evaluated:pain,subcutaneous emphysema,drainage time,hospital stay,new drain insertion,and wound healing at the site of insertion.Results There were 32 patients in the silicone tube group and 21 ones in the other group.The data revealed a significantly reduced the operation time and pain in the pigtail catheter group compared to the chest tube group(P ＜ 0.05).However,no statistical differences in success rate,postoperative hospital stay and complications incidence were found between the 2 groups.Conclusion Compared to common chest tube,the employment of pigtail catheter in the adolescent patients with pneumothorax significantly reduces the operation time and pain.Nevertheless,no statistically significant differences were discovered in success rate,postoperative hospital stay and the incidence of complications between the two corresponding groups.Thus pigtail catheter is competent in terms of closed thoracic drainage in adolescents who are the first diagnosed as spontaneous pneumothorax.
