    Symptomatic therapy effectively treats spontaneous pneumothorax. For severe cases and relapses, minimal thoracotomy with continuous aspiration drainage is the primary treatment approach.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Context:

    • Spontaneous pneumothorax presents a significant clinical challenge.
    • Intensive care unit (ICU) admission indicates severe cases requiring prompt management.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of symptomatic therapy for spontaneous pneumothorax.
    • To determine the optimal interventional approach for severe spontaneous pneumothorax and relapses.

    Summary:

    • This study analyzed 67 spontaneous pneumothorax cases managed in an ICU.
    • Symptomatic treatment demonstrated effectiveness in managing pneumothorax.
    • Minimal thoracotomy with continuous aspiration drainage proved to be the fundamental procedure for severe cases and post-exsufflation relapses.

    Impact:
