Pneumothorax Drainage With Vacuum Bottle

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Iatrogenic Pneumothorax
Vacuum Bottle Assisted Needle Aspiration
Interventions
Procedure: vacuum bottle
Registration Number
NCT03724721
Lead Sponsor
National Taiwan University Hospital
Brief Summary

The use of vacuum bottle in drainage of pneumothorax was seldom reported. This study aims to investigate the safety of vacuum bottle plus non-tunneled catheter for drainage of iatrogenic pneumothorax.

Detailed Description

For aspiration or drainage of pneumothorax, a 16-gauge or 18-gauge over-the-needle non-tunneled catheter, a pigtail, or chest tube are frequently used to penetrate the pleural space. A 50-ml or 60-ml syringe may be connected to the over-the-needle catheter or a pigtail for simple aspiration, while underwater-sealed bottle or suction drainage connected to chest tube for drainage of pneumothorax. Vacuum bottle for removing pleural effusion are frequently reported in literature and common in daily practice. However, the use of vacuum bottle in drainage of pneumothorax was seldom reported. This study aims to investigate the safety of vacuum bottle plus non-tunneled catheter for drainage of iatrogenic pneumothorax.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Intrapleural pressure during vacuum bottle air drainageWithin 1 hour

The investigator will measure the intrapleural pressure during air drainage at 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 25 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes and until finished (the remaining with 5 minutes interval). It is proposed in previous studies that it is safe if the intrapleural pressure is less than 20 cmH2O during the procedure.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of reexpansion pulmonary edemawithin 1day after the procedure

By calculating the rate of reexpansion pulmonary edema among vacuum bottle assisted drainage can investigator determine whether it is a safe procedure

The resolution rate of pneumothorax1 week

Chest X ray will be taken after the procedure and compared with that taken before the procedure. By using Rhea method, the investigator can compare the percentage of remaining pneumothorax compared with that before the procedure.
