Overview

Randomized trial compares negative pleural suction and underwater seal in chest trauma management, revealing varied outcomes.

Key Points

  • Negative pleural suction decreased surgical emphysema but did not improve hospital stay or air leak time.
  • Results showed no significant differences in complications between suction and non-suction groups after tube thoracostomy.
  • Study involved 60 patients divided into two groups with equally randomized assignments of treatment.
  • Negative suction patients experienced longer air leak times compared to those without suction during treatment.
