  • Pulmonology

Context:

  • Iatrogenic pneumothorax is a known complication of certain medical interventions.
  • Understanding the causes and effective management is crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the causes of iatrogenic pneumothorax in 22 patients.
  • To describe the experience with current therapeutic procedures.
  • To evaluate the potential of videothoracoscopy as a treatment option.

Summary:

  • The study identified subclavicular vein cannulation and thoracic puncture as common causes of iatrogenic pneumothorax.
  • A cohort of 22 patients was treated using classical thoracic drainage with active exhaustion.
