    Iatrogenic pneumothorax from medical procedures can often be treated with pleural drainage. For certain procedures, internal jugular vein puncture may be safer than subclavian vein puncture to reduce complication risks.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical procedures
    • Thoracic complications
    • Patient safety

    Context:

    • Observational study of 43 iatrogenic pneumothorax cases.
    • Procedures included subclavian vein puncture, dorsal muscle infiltration, pleural puncture, stellatum block, and Menghini puncture.
    • Focus on complications arising from invasive interventions.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze iatrogenic pneumothorax cases and their management.
    • To evaluate complication rates associated with different puncture techniques.
    • To provide recommendations for minimizing procedural risks.

    Summary:

    • Intercostal pleural drainage effectively managed most iatrogenic pneumothorax cases.
    • Internal jugular vein puncture suggested as a safer alternative to subclavian vein puncture for specific indications.
