Abstract:
A pneumothorax (PTX) is a potentially life threatening event during mechanical ventilation. Aim of this study was to analyse 3 different ways of management: expectant treatment, once-only pleural puncture and thoracic drainage.Retrospective data analysis in term and preterm neonates admitted to the NICU of the Medical University of Graz (between 2000-2010) and Innsbruck (2002-2010) who suffered from a PTX during continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV).104 neonates, 33 term and 71 preterm neonates with PTX were included. 33 term neonates: 52% were treated expectantly, 36% with thoracic drainage and 12% with once-only pleural puncture (100% thoracic drainage after pleural puncture). 71 preterm neonates: 25% were treated expectantly, 52% with thoracic drainage and 23% with pleural puncture (63% thoracic drainage after pleural puncture). In CPAP-subgroup (n=64), term neonates were treated in 60% expectantly and in 40% with thoracic drain-age, preterm neonates in 33% expectantly, in 47% with thoracic drainage and in 20% with pleural puncture (50% thoracic drainage after pleural puncture). In CMV-subgroup (n=40), term neonates were treated in 44% expectantly, in 33% with thoracic drainage and in 22% with pleural puncture (100% thoracic drainage after pleural puncture), preterm neonates in 9% expectantly, in 64% with thoracic drainage and in 27% with pleural puncture (83% thoracic drain-age after pleural puncture).Present data show that expectant treatment is feasible. If invasive intervention is needed, once-only pleural puncture was not successful, as often thoracic drainage was necessary in addition. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
