BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the use of a small caliber tube connected to Heimlich flutter valve with a conventional thoracic drainage system in the treatment of pneumothorax. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with simple pneumothorax during the years 1991-...
In most cases of spontaneous pneumothorax a recommended treatment is the insertion of a small-bore chest drain. In complicated cases and recurrent pneumothorax the Heimlich valve is a safe and good alternative option for the ambulatory management of pediatric patients with pneumothorax, because it is...
