Abstract

objective To study the clinical characteristics of young patients with spontaneous pneumothorax.Methods Records of 147 patients with spontaneous pneumothorax were reviewed and analyzed.Results Of the 147 cases,136 cases were male,11 cases were female.The proportion of them was 12.4∶1.19 cases(12.9%) were improved by observation,53 cases(36.1%) were treated by needle aspiration,50 cases(34.0%) by pleural drain,4 cases(2.7%) by needle aspiration and pleural drain.21 cases(14.3%) patients by surgical treatment.141 patients were well-healed,2 patients discharged without authorization,1 patiients was dead.Conclusion Spontaneous pneumothorax among young patients occure more frequently in male than in female.The use of needle aspiration was common but of great value for spontaneous pneumothorax among young patients.
