Abstract
Objective To observe the effect of closed drainage of thoracic cavity with tubule in the treatment of pneumothorax by comparing two other commonly used ways.Methods The patients with pneumothorax were treated by three different ways:they were thoracentesis,and closed drainage of thoracic cavity with tubule,and closed drainage of thoracic cavity with gross tube.The effects and side effects of each way were observed.Results The effective power was 62.5% in the group of thoracentesis,the effective power was 92.5% in the group of closed drainage of thoracic cavity with tubule,and the effective power was 81.4% in the group of thoracic cavity with gross tube.Conclusion Closed drainage of thoracic cavity with tubule is an effective way to treat pneumothorax.
